Album Notes & Community Reviews
In a bid for mainstream radio success, The Replacements adopted a highly polished, acoustic-leaning production style on 'Don't Tell a Soul'. Paul Westerberg's songwriting fully matures into incredibly melodic, deeply introspective power pop, colored by a bittersweet and sentimental autumn melancholy.
