Expectations were perhaps unreasonably high after 1990's brilliant All Shook Down (credited to the Replacements but a Westerberg solo album in all but name) and the soundtrack for Singles (supposedly a showcase for the Seattle sound but stolen by two songs from Minneapolis's Westerberg). 14 Songs is not so much a bad album as an underwhelming one from the best singer\/songwriter to emerge from the post-punk underground. There are enough flashes of the old talent to indicate that Westerberg is simply confused rather than burnt-out. Pianist Ian McLagen helps a sax-blowing Westerberg through an inspired Stones imitation, \"Silver Naked Ladies,\" and guest singer Joan Jett helps him through a smart Clash imitation, \"Someone I Once Knew.\" The first single, \"World Class Fad,\" boasts a great rock \u0026amp; roll hook to go with its sneering putdown of sell-out musicians, but the best song is \"Something Is Me,\" which manages to be both a full-tilt punk charge and a telling confessional: \"Something going wrong; my name is Paul. Something always happens eventually; the something is me.\" --Geoffrey Himes\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002MJO\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002MJO.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Westerberg, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
