Twin/Tone / Vinyl Reissue
Let It Be is a glorious mess, a coming-of-age tantrum dressed in ripped jeans and slurred poetry. Released in 1984, it looms large over the decade like a beer-soaked guardian angel for every kid who didn’t fit in.
From ‘Unsatisfied’ and ‘Sixteen Blue’ to ‘I Will Dare’ and a bafflingly brilliant Kiss cover, it lurches between tasteless jokes, wounded confessionals, bratty throwaways and gut-punch sincerity. That whiplash is the point. The Replacements didn’t just reflect growing pains — they sounded like them.
Beloved, shambolic, and heartbreakingly human, Let It Be captures the chaos of not-quite-adulthood with a shrug and a snarl. Whether you came of age in the Reagan years or just wish you had — this one still hits like the first time someone broke your heart and you tried to laugh it off.
