The five hundred and thirty-ninth album: #539 The Replacements - Let It Be
More than anything, Let It Be surprised me. It started off as a standard, hard post punk album, the metal and rock influence coming through everywhere, but by the time rock ballad Androgynous played, you really feel a humanity and empathy in these tracks that defy the expectations you might have of the band. It's still crude in places, not everything transfers, but the hits are surprisingly good for what it would normally be.
