Tim (Expanded Edition)

Tim was the album that pushed The Replacements into the mainstream with their intricate, punk-infused rock. “Bastards of Young” is backed by a searing electric guitar and propelled by sparse drums; “Left of the Dial” is anthemic and frantic, with guitars crashing and ebbing. On the other end of the band’s spectrum, the charming and gently melodic tingle of “Kiss Me on the Bus” brushes against romance in a way The Replacements never had before.
