Album Review
Paul Westerberg's second solo album, Eventually, delivered a full three years after his debut, 14 Songs, illustrates that he has problems telling the difference between maturity and stodginess. Eventually follows the same pattern as 14 Songs, as he balances up-tempo, Stonesy rockers with introspective, folky ballads. Generally, his slower numbers cut the deepest, like the affectionate Bob Stinson tribute, "Good Day" and the heart-tugging "MamaDaddyDid." When Westerberg rocks out, he sounds tired and mannered; neither his riffs nor his performance has the energy of vintage Replacements, or '70s and '80s Stones, for that matter. And the rockers demonstrate the major flaw of Eventually — its carefully considered production. Though the production is clean and professional, its very slickness emphasizes the uneven quality of Westerberg's songwriting. There are some gems here — in fact, there are even more this time around than on 14 Songs — but Westerberg still sounds uncertain of what direction he wants to pursue and how to grow old gracefully.
Customer Reviews
say what you will about the man, but......
when he is on, i do believe there isn't a better wordssmith. i discovered this after i became a father, and if you really want to know what it's like to have kids after being lost in a sea of self-centered post adolescent narcisim, check out angels walk. it is a nice coda to the end of that era in your life.
Best album the 'Mats never made
I just have to defend this album against the itunes review. I'm a Replacements fan and I never really cared much for Westerberg's late 'Mats or solo stuff, except for this album. In my mind, it's the perfect balance between his softer, introspective, acoustic side and the hard rockin' punk we know and love. The acoustic and electric guitars blend together well, with one side usually slightly overtaking the other at different points on the album. Rather than sounding cluttered or ambivalent, it's a dynamic balance that makes the album powerful and coherent without being a one-trick-pony. And from Angel's Walk to Good Day to These Are the Days, the songwriting is poignant without being boring or whiny. You've Had It With You is a Replacements song through and through, and the only full-on rocker that still works well with the album's softer tone. The songs are melodic and have better hooks than Westerberg's other solo stuff. The bottom line is this album sounds like it should've been made right after Pleased to Meet Me, which is damn high praise.
Eventually....
He's just a great songwriter. I played this like crazy in the 90s and need to start playing it again. I think I appreciate it more now that I'm older. My favorites: MamaDaddyDid, You've Had It With You, Good Day, and Angels Walk.
