5 out of 5 stars Bob Stinson is looking down and smiling.......2007-03-09

This is Paul doing what he used to do a long time ago, ROCK! I defy a longtime Mats fan to listen to this album and not make comparisons to earlier Mats albums. The lyrics deal with Mats themes such as alienation and despair. Moreover, there are plenty of great hooks. If this album had been released after Please To Meet Me, I would have remained a Mats fan. If I had my way, Paul would be Grandpa Boy 100% of the time. I love this album!

2 out of 5 stars Hate to be the dissenting opinion..........2003-06-09

First of all, I think Paul Westerberg is a national treasure. The songs he penned for Tim and Pleased to Meet Me belong alongside those of Dylan, Springsteen and even Gershwin in the pantheon of great American music.

That said, I'm afraid the well has run dry for ol' Paul. Yeah, this record brings back the rough-n-tumble sounds of the classic 'mats albums; sadly, the great songs from those albums remain in the past. The memorable hooks and beautifully trashy melodies are scarce here; the songs just don't stick in your head the way "Kiss Me on the Bus" or "Achin' to Be" did. There's the occasional spark here -- "Silent Film Star" and "Let's Not Belong Together" stand out, but even these jingles sound undeniably weak compared to "Hold My Life," "Answering Machine" or "Color Me Impressed".

By the time "Eyes Like Sparks" rolls around, it's obvious Westerberg is coasting on his reputation. He takes a potentially brilliant, truely Westerbergian turn of phrase ("My heart's like gasoline/Your eyes are like sparks") and runs it into the ground by repeating it, over and over, to a lethargic, unimaginative melody.

Westerberg is still a brilliant live performer, mostly due to his willingness to dip into his considerable back catalogue. But this record, as well as his last couple (Suicaine Gratification, Eventually) make a strong case for a graceful retirement.

5 out of 5 stars Back to the Replacements Sound.......2002-09-22

Paul has turned back more to the Replacement's style on this cd and its noticeable immediately. He skips the drunken, 'howling into the mike' tunes and as a result has put out a more 'grown up' release. The last song, 'AAA' sounds as though it could be a song off one of the mat's later albums, a sound that Paul has admitted to trying to ressurect on this cd. Speaking from a die hard Replacements fan's point of view, this is the first of Paul's solo releases that I'd insist you buy.

4 out of 5 stars GrandaPaBoy: "Mono" (Vagrant Records, 2002).......2002-08-30

Maybe, just maybe, I had way too many expectations for this CD? It just
doesn't hold up (in my ears) to the heaps of praise that has been hoisted
upon it since it's release a few months back. Yeah, it's better than that
last god-awful record that Paul made, "Suicaine Gratifaction" (SG), but
really, how could it not be? This CD sounds like Paul wrote a bunch of songs
while he was bored out of his mind & then waited until he felt somewhat like
rocking out a tad & then recorded them. This CD has been called the greatest
thing Paul has done since "Pleased To meet Me"... I don't hear it. In my
opinion that falls on the CD "Eventually". Hell, even the last 2 Replacements
albums were better than this (If you count "All Shook Down" as a Replacements
album - it was meant to be & recorded as Paul's first solo album) & so was
"14 Songs". Are we so afraid to admit that Westerberg ... now that we'll
heap tons of praise upon such a lack luster affair as this? Admittable it's
GOOD but it's just not that damn good! Oh well, he sounds like he's having
some fun & that's more than it sounds like he's having on the "Stereo" CD
which is just "SG" volume 2.

3 out of 5 stars Sure it's a good record..........2002-07-16

...but compare it to the first five Replacements' records and it blows. And please don't use 'rocks' in your reviews.
