	The Replacements : Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Then again, that was a common problem in the Twin Cities, as Hüsker Dü also were too big and blustery to be a standard hardcore band, but where the Huskers traded in violence and fury at this early stage, the Replacements wallowed in cheap thrills.
		The messiness on Sorry Ma is hardly confined to the cheap, thin recording or the band's playing -- they sound as if they're stumbling upon each other as they fumble for the next chord -- but how the songs pile up one after another, most not managing to get close to the two-minute mark.
		It may not quite sound like any other American punk record but Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash is one of the best LPs the entire scene produced in the early '80s.

	The Replacements - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The band's first LP, 1981's Sorry Ma Forgot to Take Out the Trash, defined the band's sound and ethos.
		Too sloppy and unprofessional to be heavy metal, yet too bar-band sounding to be punk rock, the band never fit in from the beginning.
		The title was typical Replacements: deliberately thumbing their nose at The Beatles' legacy, and putting out a subversive, brilliant, melodic punk record might have been embraced by modern audiences.

	Ink 19 :: In Perspective :: Hi, We're The Replacements
		From their first album, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash in 1981, to the final, All Shook Down, every album contained moments of empathic genius, stumbling, brilliant rock and utter disaster.
		This spanning of genres is part of the reason their stature has grown in the decades since their beginning -- they mean and sound something different, but important, to different people.
		True, the world wasn't waiting breathlessly for the goofy take on Kiss's "Black Diamond" found here, and "Gary's Got a Boner" is charmingly stupid, but "Androgynous" and "Answering Machine" rival any material presented on either side of the Atlantic during the '80s.

		Originally released by Minneapolis independent label Twin/Tone, the new CD pressings of 1981's "Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash," 1982's "Stink," 1983's "Hootenany," and 1984's "Let It Be" were digitally remastered by noted engineer Greg Calbi with frontman Paul Westerberg's approval.
		"Sorry Ma..." and the "Stink" EP -- recorded simultaneously but released a year apart -- possess the raw energy that would define the band's live shows throughout its 10-year run, while "Hootenany" captures the group reaching outside the confines of punk.
		That the reissues are seeing the light of day at all is noteworthy: Westerberg revealed to Billboard earlier this year that in the late '80s, he and his bandmates threw what they thought were the master tapes for all of the albums into the Mississippi River after an ownership dispute.

	The Replacements (Site not responding. Last check: )
		You always had a sense of how much they'd started out hoping for and what they felt they had to settle for, and their outrage and disappointment was the electrical current that ran in between.
		Their desires ran so strong and so deep -- you can hear that in every fiery, bristling chord -- and yet Westerberg, in his lyrics, often circled around them, as if they were just too much for him to stare down directly.
		They went farther out than most of us ever dare to -- and in the end, that meant they had farther to fall.

	The Replacements Album Reviews
		Simply put, this is the album on which this influential band of loveable drunks came of age, as their agreeably raw sounded remained intact while Westerberg distinguished himself as a premiere songwriter with a knack for memorable melodies.
		The boys still don’t take themselves too seriously as a rule, as sophomoric song titles such as “Gary’s Got A Boner” and “Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out” (forgettable tracks both) suggest, but Westerberg also showcases a rare insight and intelligence in addition to his customary sense of humor.
		"Bent Out Of Shape" and "My Little Problem" (the latter a duet with Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano) rock hard enough, but acoustic guitars and airy melodies are the general rule, as the band again elects to show off their mellower, softer side.

	Encyclopedia: The Replacements
		Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash is the first album by the band The Replacements, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music).
		I'm not sure anyone is going to get a lot out of tracking down every last record they did, but the better ones (including some of their post-breakup solo efforts) are good clean fun.
		He gets in some clever percussion and joyous slide guitar work on "Reverse Status," and a 6/8 sea chantey beat on the semi-acoustic alt rocker "Before It All Began"; and everywhere he shows mastery of good-old-fashioned dynamics and riffery ("Outer Limits"; "Monkey Sees"; more geek punk on "Better Days").

	CANOE -- JAM! - Classic Replacements albums to be reissued
		The classic early albums by the influential '80s grunge prototypes The Replacements are to be reissued, with a box-set of previously unreleased material also planned, Rolling Stone reports.
		The original albums -- "Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash" (1981), "Stink" (1982), "Hootenanny" and "Let It Be" (1984) -- were all originally released on Minneapolis-based Twin/Tone Records.
		During a dispute with Twin/Tone, band legend has it that the group purloined their master tapes from the label's vault and tossed them into the Mississippi River -- which for years have been cited as the reason for the albums not being reissued.

		The 'Mats, as they're fondly referred to by fans (as in placemats), came out of Minneapolis with the ultimate garage band album Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash LP in 1981, but it wasn't until my friend Jane turned me onto them in 1985 that I got bit by the 'Mats bug.
		I wore out at least two cassette tapes of the album and for several years had a picture from SPIN magazine of an open-shirted, sweaty Paul Westerberg on my bulletin board...
		Bob Stinson, who was kicked out of the band for drinking and drug problems prior to the Pleased to Meet Me sessions and sadly died a few years ago, was the kind of guitarist that can twist your heart with a few chords - just take a listen to "Sixteen Blue" if you need proof.

		The lyric is a perfect tale told of love gone south, of youthful whims and forbidden desires comin' back to bite ya in the ass, which, sad to say, seem to be a recurring theme in the biography of the Replacements.
		Not only is the song a great stomper of a tune, it's their tribute to the bands who hadn't made the jump to the major label yet, and the hard life that goes with it.
		It would not be out of place on any Replacements album, both for the nifty country-rock by way of Gram Parsons and Rank and File sound, and the longing-for-a-connection subject matter.

		The Replacements came out of Minneapolis, at the forefront of the indie rock scene that was exploding there in the early-to-mid-1980s.
		After dropping its initial hardcore leanings, the group caught fire with a skewed take on classic rock, mixing Stones-y chord changes with the nihilistic attitude of punk.

		"Sorry Ma Forgot to Take Out the Trash" is not a very good album, punk or otherwise.

	Dusted Reviews: The Replacements - Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash / Stink / Hootenanny / Let It Be
		Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash and the subsequent Stink EP announced the young Minneapolis band’s arrival with an exhilarating blast of two-minute punk songs which brashly romanticized well “goin’ real fast, and hangin’ out the windows” (as vocally hurled in Sorry Ma’s lead track, “Takin’ a Ride”).
		Both were brilliantly simple records that channeled all the splendors of a reckless Friday night (and Saturday, and Sunday, and the subsequent Monday and Tuesday) into a blur of snot-brained 4/4isms that were perfectly suited to the gravelly insistence of young Paul Westerberg’s vocals.
		The amazing complexities that Stinson wrung out of his guitar’s neck set their music miles away from the pack of even the most musically accomplished thrash bands — Husker Du included — and made hardcore sound like a twisted derivation of fl blues.

		They stumbled through the death of founding guitarist Bob Stinson and seemed to be forever billed as a band “on the brink” of stardom, but as the decade closed, the ’Mats packed it in without a genuine hit to their name.
		On the occasion of the reissue of the band’s first four albums (Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, The Replacements Stink!, Hootenanny, Let It Be), we cornered former frontman Paul Westerberg and made him talk about the Replacements’; salad days and why he thinks the band was more successful than Van Halen.
		The Replacements’; catalog was reissued September 3, including Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, Stink, Hootenanny, and Let It Be.

	Hootenanny
		As with the band's disorderly (but damned entertaining) debut, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, Hootenanny is enlivened by the odd hardcore thrasher ("Run It" and "You Lose").
		Frontman Paul Westerberg stretches out here, however, with the bluesy "Willpower" and "Take Me to the Hospital" and unveils his sensitive side on the one-man-band avowal "Within Your Reach," a taste of things to come.
		Whirly", a song making fun of love shows on the radio "Lovelines", the hard-rockin' "Take Me Down to the Hospital" and practically every song they did on here has some kind of joke in it, which some people may not like.

		The Replacements were formed in 1979 in Minneapolis by Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars (drums), Bob Stinson (guitar) and Tommy Stinson (bass).
		Their first release, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out The Trash, quite punk in its delivery, didn't make much of a critical splash.
		Let It Be is without a doubt a modern rock classic, and should be heard by everyone; men, women, children, pets, rocks, whatever.

	The Replacements: Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash / Stink / Hootenanny / Let It Be: Pitchfork Record Review
		Before these reissues, when someone would say that the band peaked with their first album, 1981's Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash, I'd assume they were either: 1) a serial contrarian, 2) someone who finds punk rock to be music's greatest expression, or 3) crazy.
		Also, amusing: singer Paul Westerberg's self-deprecating liner notes, which helped launch the Replacements myth, suggest that he might have had second career writing comedy: "This song is proof that Chris Mars is one of the best drummers we could find at the time," he says of "Otto".
		The farther Westerberg went out on a limb with songs like "Androgynous" (all of a sudden he's the indie rock Cole Porter, looking out for the shy, arty types that didn't fit in) and "Sixteen Blue" (the ultimate articulation of teenage angst), the more empathy he showed and the more he needed ballast.

	Right Brain - #15 Apr/May 95 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bob Stinson was a founding member of The Replacements and their lead guitarist from 1980 to 1986, when he was unceremoniously booted from the band amidst rumors of substance abuse and allegations that his musicianship was becoming particularly sub-par.
		Getting kicked out of The 'Mats in 1986 for being a fuck-up (either on or off-stage) is like getting kicked out of Disneyland for being too nice.
		From the unrestrained punk rock of Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash and Stink, to their brilliant, anthemic, "how-the-hell-did-this-not-make-them-millionaires?" major-label debut, Tim, The 'Mats played music that brought together the buzz-saw punk of The Ramones and Sex Pistols with the crash-and-burn rock 'n' roll of The Faces and Johnny Thunders.

		I recommend this to anyone who wants to hear just how out of control the 'Mats really were in their prime.
		Unlike the production on Sorry Ma, which was kind of fuzzy and muddled, the production on this record is pretty basic and much clearer.
		The 'Mats on this record were still taking short forays into Blues and Rock balladry and the subject matter of most of the songs would be considered too immature to be hardcore.
