| | Amazon.co.uk: Pleased to Meet Me [Import]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The first album released after founding lead guitarist Bob Stinson's official departure, Pleased nevertheless retains plenty of the Mats' innate punky drive, albeit here more focused and tempered. |
 | | The Replacements' brand of brash, dirty rock & roll reachedits apex on PLEASED TO MEET ME. A stomping collection of blistering, no-bull compositions and performances, this album represents a wild, angry, and ultimately beautiful marriage of inspired songcraft and punk rock abandon. |
 | | The album's biggest hit, "Alex Chilton", is a swinging, stomping homage to the pop stylist to whom the Replacements were so deeply indebted, with plenty of the stadium-sized power-chords that comprise the groups less-fashionable influences (Kiss's "Black Diamond" was one of their better-known covers). |
