Next album = N/A"Replicants" is the debut, and only album from Replicants. Despite the obvious
Blade Runner reference, the album is named "Replicants" as all songs are covers, and so could be called "Replicants" or "Replications".Reception
Although Replicants have a large fan base, the album was not regarded as a great success, and was seen as
"not a total and utter trudge-fest, finding a weird balance between the relative exultance of the original, and the band's own mock metal heroics, adding in a bit of woozy semi-shoegaze psychedelia at the end." - Allmusic
Numerous fans have stated that Keenan's duet with
Ken Andrews on "Silly Love Songs" was the highlight of the album.Track Listing
