• Fans of 80s alt-rock were understandably disheartened when the Replacements decided to call it quits in 1991, just as the genre had finally begun assaulting the upper regions of the US charts. But Replacements singer/guitarist Paul Westerberg wasted little time issuing his first solo work, contributing two songs ("Dyslexic Heart" and "Waiting for Somebody") to the 1992 mega-hit motion picture soundtrack, SINGLES. Due to that albums success, many predicted Westerbergs commercial breakthrough with his debut album 14 SONGS a year later.
• While the album didnt prove the big hit everyone anticipated, it still includes some memorable pop songs, with the slightly rough edges that only Paul Westerberg can create. Those expecting 14 SONGS to sound like the Replacements in their pissed-off prime may be disappointed, but its hard not to appreciate the tarnished pop of "World Class Fad," the Stonesy "Silver Naked Ladies," and the punk rockers "Someone I Once Knew" (with guest Joan Jett) and "Something Is Me."

Professional Reviews: Spin (7/93, p.77) - Highly Recommended - "...sounds surprisingly jolly in the aftermath of the Replacements breakup....his most sensible, frivolous music since 1985s [Replacements album] TIM..."

Entertainment Weekly (6/18/93, p.56) - "...stands as a sturdy, if slightly less ballsy, report from a songwriter whose up-against-the-wall anti-anthems proved a musical stepping-stone from punk to grunge....In the end, not a bad start to a new career..." - Rating: B

Q (1/94, p.87) - Included in Qs list of `The 50 Best Albums Of 1993.

Q (7/93, p.101) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Westerberg, former frontperson of the drunken shambles that was The Replacements, proves it on this quite magnificent LP....theres not a dud track anywhere....Hes above grunge, for he can craft a proper melody and hes almost a poet..."

Musician (6/93, p.87) - "...Westerberg doesnt hide behind a wall-of-racket, but pushes his distinctive vocals--warts and all--to the surface....hes the same Westerberg weve come to know and love, except older and slightly wiser..."

Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked #13 in the Village Voices 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.

NME (Magazine) (6/12/93, p.35) - 7 - Very Good - "...hes still got excellent stomping, memorable tunes, a barbed tongue and a warm heart..."
