The Replacements' 1981 debut, like the Stink EP that came on its heels, is laden with hardcore punk that was the flavor in underground rock of the time, albeit of a customized strain. Oddly enough, that sense of compromise is the source of the charm to both early Mats titles. The Minneapolis quartet play fast and loose here but aren't inclined to display the discipline the leading lights of the movement boasted. Raggedness and humor are their fortes. One can almost picture Paul Westerberg smirking a bit at the sanctioned snotty sentiments he's voicing. "I hate music!" he bellows in the song of the same name, only to add cheekily, "Got too many notes." "Customer," too, undermines pure-punk ethos with wisecracks. Though he more often writes screeds than actual songs, Westerberg's burgeoning skills nevertheless surface in "Johnny's Gonna Die," "Shiftless When Idle," and "I'm in Trouble." Sorry Ma isn't necessarily a superior punk album, but it's an exceedingly likable one. --Steven Stolder

Still one of my favorite Replacements CDs.......2006-05-31

When I was in high school, I bought this as a tape first and I couldn't stop listening to it. It was hardcore and fast enough to pump the adreneline but it had enough hooks and great songs (even great lyrics if you can hear them sung very very fast) to distinguish it from the skater punk crap which always played the same couple of chords in the same deadly dull rotation with the same vocalist (can't call him a singer) trying to sound tough. "Taking a Ride", "Something to Do" and "Hanging Downtown" were those tracks that spoke to me in a way that only Holden Caulfield could otherwise (yeah I didn't realize that I was a little stereotypical in the teenager department - I also wore my hair long and greasy and refused to cut it until after Freshman year in college. Oh shut up.)

Obviously this is not your usual Replacements album, and the flashes of craftsmanship that would start with Hootenanny were not yet formed. But it's great on its own merits. So much so, that I spent years claiming that this was the only decent Replacements album before a stultifying descent into dullness (well that one with the sheep was pretty bland.) So maybe this should be your first Mats album and maybe you should be 15 to love it like I did, but it's still a great album. And the songs are some of the best crafted pieces of music in punk history.

sorry fans, forgot to take out the trash.......2004-12-02

Yes, I am glad there are a few good reviews here that slate this weak lp.
The thing you have to know about 'westerberg' (lead singer of this band) is that he has these die hard followers who love everything he has done (and does now-worse) full stop. I'm sure there are some that say they are only replacements fans, but then they probably love everything that the replacements have done.
This album is practically ready for the bin.
Bar about three tracks out of twenty- It always sucked (and I got it in the peak of my replacements listening/loving days)- it is never hardcore, just unlistenable.
Want hardcore, get 'husker du - new day rising' or 'Stink' by replacements' or even indeed, like some other good fellow said 'Tim' and then 'Let it be' by this band - they are the two best.

You have careless/johnny's gonna die/shiftless when I'm idle and maybe 'takin a ride' too (notice these are the ones that other anti 'sorry ma' revierwers picked) - they are the only half decent tracks on this.
It's a very weak record from production to playing (but most of all, westerberg ruins it with his hideous vocals on the most of the stuff.
I really just would'nt bother pal. It'll be one to throw away, or worse give away to some other poor soul who won't understand.

This band went major label and really changed in a good way-showing a new and incredible side to themselves after 'let it be', unlike a band like husker du - who became anti-political and began talking rubbish after they left for warner.
Lucky to get two stars.

Poineers of garage sound / 1 of the greatest albums.......2004-04-14

This band defined garage fast & hard, shun the mainstream sound. This 1st album is probably my favorite Mats album but I like them all. This cd is one of those rare albums where you will not skip a track on this. Every song is appealing in it's own way. The guitar riffs are sketchy but thats the beauty of this album it's so raw and unpolished. I have to say this album is their most Punk sounding. It came out in 1981 so far from the New Wave that was on the airwaves. Westerburg's voice goes right through you. I can't possibly list standout tracks because like I said every song is good. But "Customer" is a funny tune, opening track "Taking a ride" such a catchy song, "Kick your door down" great chorus track."Shiftless when Idle, "I hate Music" such a Punk Rock tune. If you truly like real garage/punk sound this album is essential to collection. This CD is in my top 5 of all time.

A Classic Post-Punk Text.......2004-04-11

When this came out, Rolling Stone took a moment to turn away fromarticles about Jann Weiner's 60's party pals to give this amazing disc three of five stars, asking "Who knows if they'll make any more albums? And who cares?" The Replacements went on to become a booze soaked sonic legend. And now people only read Rolling Stone to ogle the cover phots of Britney Spears.
It's all there in "Sorry Ma" -- the hooks, the clever lyrics, the Westbergian angst, long before it turned into post-Replacements self-pity and general crappiness. With the rest of the band (fueled by the late flamethower lead guitarmaster Bob Stinson) compelling him to rock, Paul did. And how.
They took punk and made it relevant to suburban kids who didn't feel like dressing all in black -- "Customer" has more truth in its 68 seconds than a crateful of "real" punk. "Kick Your Door" down is a straight ahead rocker that hits you in the gut; "Shiftless When Idle" is a powerpop marvel. "I Hate Music" is a sonic declaration of war on pretense. The only weakness is "Johnny's Gonna Die," lauded by most, but actually embodying Paul's worst musical instincts. The rest of the band propbably let it in in exchange for Paul kicking butt on the rest of the album.
You cannot understand or experience American post-punk pop without "Sorry Ma..." Rolling Stone be damned.

Anyway I Ain't Got Noplace Else To Go.......2004-02-09

I'm (ironically, I guess) replacing this with a new copy for the third time. It's crude, it's rough, it's loud, it's obnoxious, it's funny and it's great. This release and "Hootenanny" are wonderfully Midwestern surly snot-faced kid-like and I could not live without them. They have defined what this sound is/was and possibly always will be. It's as close as you'll ever get to what an early live Replacement's gig was like. I suppose if you weren't around when they were fresh and new it may sound a little....no...wait a minute....that's not true....I cannot stoop to any kind of mealy-mouthed defensiveness. This album is great. Not charming. Not friendly. Not just a display of Westerberg's burgeoning songwriting talents. It's great all by itself. I proudly know the lyrics (such as they are) to all the songs and I will spit them out with vigor until the day I die. It's unbridled, undisciplined and unruly. You know....PUNK.
