Title: Tim
Artiste: The Replacements
Genre: Not sure: Rock? Indie?
Familiarity: Zero

Track 1(Love) Sort of reminds me of The Buzzcocks and The Jam; upbeat kind of energetic track. Not bad.
Track 2(Love) More fifties rock and roll in this. Again it's ok. Good melody, lot of energy.
Track 3(Love) Yeah, this one is pretty good. Very catchy.
Track 4(Love) More of The Jam in this one, a bit heavier. Like the guitar solo.
Track 5(Love) Oh I like this! Ripping off Norman Greenbaum. Like it.
Track 6(Love) This is very nice. Has a kind of early Eagles feel about it.
Track 7(Love) This is very catchy; are they slagging off Springsteen here?
Track 8(Love) Upbeat, uptempo, a lot of fun. Like the piano.
Track 9(Love) Another good track. Not sure what else to say about it really.
Track 10(Love) Yeah, it's okay. A little weak I feel compared to the rest. Actually I changed my mind; the end part is pretty great.
Track 11(Love) Nice little acoustic for a closer.

End result: I'd have to say a decent album but nothing terribly special. I shy from giving it a Meh rating because I did enjoy it, but it's not the sort of thing that would encourage me to go seeking out the rest of their music. At the same time, I wouldn't actively avoid it if it came my way.

So, Love or Hate? A cautious Love here.
