While the Replacements have inspired no less than five tribute albums, Hüsker Dü aficionados have a lot of catching up ahead of them. Case Closed? is merely one of only two Hüsker covers albums, the other being, Dü Hüskers: The Twin Cities Replay Zen Arcade, the content of which is limited to the band's 1984 double concept-lp (in it's entirety) as it's title no doubt implies.
If name recognition is your barometer for a worthy tribute album (and really, who's isn't?) you would almost be forgiven for taking a pass on this one. Case Closed? was issued on the European Snoop Records label in 1994, with it's limited distribution stateside, only outdone by it's dearth of American participants. In fact, you can count all the Yanks on one hand: Alloy,Sick of It All, and the always superb Big Drill Car. Nevertheless, one of your favorite Hüsker songs is bound to be among one of the 23 selections within. Despite the lineup of career punk/hardcore acts, most stay faithful to Bob Mould and Grant Hart's arrangements.
