The Replacements "Let it Be" (1984)
This is another one that sounds good on the tin: "punk band that added
in elements of melody and helped define the college rock sound". I can
certainly hear the sound of what had just come before (the leftover
classic punk sounds), and the more contemporary sounds (hints of hardcore
and the raw stripped-down emotional rock of some of the post-punk set).
All in all I liked it okay, but it don't feel a need to rush back to
check it out again. It falls into the "if someone puts it on at a
party/bar I'll listen to it happily enough" category
