Suicaine Gratifaction
''Suicaine Gratifaction'' is the third solo album from former The Replacements leader Paul Westerberg. Co-producer Don Was had admired Westerberg for years. He used Westerberg's solo debut, '' 14 Songs'', as daily inspiration while producing the Rolling Stones' ''Voodoo Lounge''. Westerberg once claimed that he had originally been interested in working with Quincy Jones. Regarding the album's strange title, Westerberg said, "I don't want to think about it too deeply other than the fact that it seems wrong, and therefore it's attractive to me." Accessed June 30, 2008. The piano solo in the middle of "Born for Me" is the subject of a chapter within |

The album contains a mix of songs: original material written by the duo, "never-before-heard gems from Westerberg’s basement archive, and re-recorded solo tunes from his back catalog." It has received positive reviews from critics. Critical reception The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave the album four out of five stars, with review Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the musicians' opportunity to have fun with the recording, summing up his review, "All the mess, from its demo-quality fidelity to its throwaways, is intentional and the album is better for it: it's two old pros having a good time, so it's hard not to have a good time too". In an overview of Westerberg's career for ''Spin'' in 2016, Drew Fortune calls the collaboration a natural fit and characterizes the album as "just as loose and ramshackle as the ...
