“Attitude” by The Replacements

"Attitude" sits on All Shook Down, the Replacements' seventh and last studio album, released by Sire in September 1990. Paul Westerberg wrote it alone and co-produced it with Scott Litt, who also engineered and mixed it.

The record around it became a band album almost by accident. Westerberg had meant it as his first solo record until his management talked him into putting the Replacements' name on it before recording began, so the sessions filled up with hired hands: four drummers by Westerberg's count, while the guitars stayed in the band and Tommy Stinson, arriving about a week in, handled most of the bass. Nobody kept track of who played on which song, which suits a record caught halfway between a group and a solo career.
