		Bob, along with Grant Hart and Greg Norton, made HD the preeminent punk-influenced band on the planet, incorporating hummable melodies with impassioned lyrics and applying a thick coat of squalling guitar to obscure the obvious and filter out the light.
		Bob's second solo record, BOB MOULD, released in 1996 is a stripped-down reaction to the bloat that engulfed alt-rock: a raw, spare, deeply personal statement with Bob playing all the instruments.
		BOB MOULD includes somber and soaring moments, and is one of the most confessional records of the last few years.

		"Bob Mould is Bob Mould," we're informed in the CD booklet for the veteran post-punk singer/songwriter's new release, which is called, yup, Bob Mould (Rykodisc).
		Mould's a sensitive guy and it's not his fault that he came to fame fronting a powerhouse barrage band (Hüsker Dü).
		Mould's still trying to shed the old savage image, divorce himself from the Hüsker cult, fighting the band who bleed him (as it were).

		Mould may not be as much of an expert on the subject as, say, Donny Osmond or Billy Idol.
		Mould says that those problems have been "settled." But the issues surrounding the demise of Sugar are something he's still actively mulling over as he ponders the next phase of his career.
		For now, Mould is enjoying the freedom of being an artist in the midst of a musical transition, of having the luxury to make decisions that don't affect the income of two bandmates, a road crew, and their families.

		But when Bob gets tired of his isolation, he will form another pathbreaking power trio with a drummer who's not all that bad a songwriter in his own right.
		But the rhythms are stiff 'cause Bob did the drumming himself (it's not on par with his guitar playing skills), the lyrics are entirely self-absorbed, and the whole album is too slick to be entirely involving.
		Bob does get points for including sound effects of a record needle between sides and riding the inner groove.

	Bob Mould Band - PopMatters Concert Review
		Mould and his crew delivered a sizable portion of their new album and half of the seminal Copper Blue, originally by Mould's first post Hüsker band Sugar.
		Mould played for an hour and a quarter, with two encores, barely stopping to say anything along the way, and often moving from one song directly into the next.
		Mould's words tackled illness, death and despair, topics all too real and all too rarely addressed in popular music.

	Bob Mould - Musictoday: Music Department
		Bob Mould returns to his signature guitar sound and songwriting style with "Body of Song," his first release on Yep Roc Records.
		Mould's sound inspired a generation of post-hardcore punk rockers who helped create and define the alternative rock movement.
		Bob's electric guitar work at its' finest, along with the raspy "two months into a tour" voice, make this a must-have for the traditional fan.

		For instance, it could be said that behavior in bathhouses with huge numbers of multiple partners (most crucially, a few men have been shown to be 'nodes' in the diseases network) are also responsible for the AIDS epidemic.

	Yep Roc Records > Artist Info
		Mould says that the move to what he calls ï¿½this totally visceral simple pop stuffï¿½ is rooted in his own sense of tranquility.
		Mould also points out that the albumï¿½s final track ï¿½ ï¿½Beating Heart the Prizeï¿½ ï¿½ is ï¿½a very classic Bob closer right up there with ï¿½Whatever Way the Wind Blowsï¿½ (from Workbook) and Sacrifice/Let There Be Peaceï¿½ (from 1990ï¿½s Black Sheets of Rain).ï¿½ Itï¿½s also a case study in that editing as composition process.
		Mould does lay down that guitar solo ï¿½ which winds and slithers and crashes into the songï¿½s chugging, muscular chorus, catches its breath, and erupts anew as the song scales that chorus once again.

		Bob Mould was born in 1960 in a small town in New York near the Canadian border.
		Mould went on to release a slew of solo albums, and spent the early 1990s fronting the band Sugar, competing with young bands whose sound he’d practically invented.

	Bob Mould sees a brighter world
		In another first for Mould, the set touches on all aspects of his career, from Hüsker Dü ("Celebrated Summer," "Makes No Sense at All," "Could You Be the One") to Sugar ("A Good Idea," "If I Can't Change Your Mind," "Helpless") to his solo years ("See a Little Light," "Egoverride," "Beating Heart the Prize").
		Mould grew up in upstate New York and moved to the Twin Cities in 1978 to attend Macalester College on a scholarship for underprivileged students.
		After the "Modulate" tour — which saw Mould playing electric and acoustic guitars with backing tapes and video screens — he packed up once again and moved to D.C. There he began both the monthly DJ night Blowoff with Rich Morel as well as a Boblog (modulate.blogspot.com).

		Bob Mould's first solo album in six years (following the demise of Sugar) is unremittingly dark, direct, and brilliant.
		Even if Bob Mould's eponymous album (hubcap) was recorded without a band, this is still a very inspired and driving album that shows you that no matter how limited you are in resources, you can still pack a punch.
		Of all the Bob Mould albums I have heard, this one has had the biggest impact on me (probably because it carries the ghost of Sugar).

	Live Review: Bob Mould / Mark Eitzel, Town Pump, October 28, 1996
		The double bill of solo artists Mark Eitzel and Bob Mould slid into the latter category due to technical problems for Eitzel's piece of the show.
		Offering up tracks from various albums and periods of his career, Mould confirmed the necessity of quality material over adornment: stripped down to the solo setting, not a hint of vulnerability or chinks in the songs' armour appeared.
		Mould's set was a fine document of a man, at the age of 35, unwilling to bend to the current way the wind blows.

	Bob Mould: Modulate [2002] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		Mould is a passionate singer-songwriter: His direct, confessional approach, be it cranked to 11 or strummed with slow, acoustic emphasis, is what he does best.
		When Mould's digitized voice intones lines like "Come down from the second floor/My familiar memory/Devil jumping from the ledge consume my soul," it's fine, because the sound is what matters, not the songcraft.
		It's a bold move, one that Mould deserves credit for crafting entirely by his lonesome, but the end result comes across more as a work in progress than a full-blown transition to a new way of creating music.

	The History of Rock Music. Bob Mould: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Bob Mould era stato il cantante e chitarrista degli Husker Du, gruppo fondamentale di Minneapolis che legittimo` la fusione fra punk-rock e pop.
		Mould usa il suo baritono intenso, alla Stipe e il suo chitarrismo drammatico (per lo piu` acustico e con progressioni modali alla Richard Thompson) per comporre ballate vigorose ma mai violente, spesso tenebrose e atmosferiche.
		Mould conia infatti un idioma melodico che rappresenta il naturale coronamento di tutti questi anni di ricerca.

	Metroactive Music \| Bob Mould
		Mould rocks hard on songs like "Moving Trucks," "Classifieds" and "Skintrade," which all carry his trademark ability to soar beyond mere midtempo song patterns.
		This is Mould's first rap song, an experiment in electronica that frankly, doesn't play on his strengths.
		If Mould has a flaw, it is his voice, which is somewhat nasal and can, after a few songs, sound repetitive and overbearing.

	Bob Mould - First Avenue - Minneapolis - 9/28/05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It felt like we were in Bob’s backyard, frolicking and playing croquet and drinking mint juleps, a fun little late afternoon in St. Paul with a charismatic artist who was having a good time playing the old great Workbook songs, and prefacing the new ones with blithe yet charming introductions.
		It was as if Bob didn’t want us to miss that he was playing them for us, but these lanquid notational reincarnations just didn’t thrill me, and regrettably so.
		Bob Mould just didn’t seem to take much joy in being back on the 7th Street pavement where, as he put it in a recent interview, he grew up as a performer and artist.

	Bob Mould by Bob Mould CD
		The credits even proclaim "Bob Mould is Bob Mould," and "This one is for me." The fact that the album was written and performed by one man, however, does not mean that this is a low-fi aberration--rather, it's a sonically dense but extremely controlled excursion, and the next logical step in his career.
		Among them are "Anymore Time Between," easily one of Mould's most painful moments, "Next Time That You Leave," a poignant, mostly restrained (except for the seething choruses) affair, and the intensely angry "Hair Stew," where the self-loathing lyrics are colored with searing feedback squelches.
		With its downer lyrics, BOB MOULD is not an easy record to like; however if everyone's cathartic release was to record albums this good, the world would be a much better place.

		As you may have heard, Bob Mould’s latest is a bit of a departure for the former Husker Du/Sugar front man. Whether it’s a one-off detour or the first step in a new direction remains to be seen.
		A conventional Bob Mould song also seems to want to emerge from “Semper Fi,” despite its nearly indecipherable vocal (a lyric sheet is helpfully provided).
		Mould has released the album on the label collective United Musicians, which was founded by Aimee Mann and Michael Penn, who’ve had their share of troubles with major record labels.

		Mould doesn't seem to have that escape clause.
		As far back as 1998's Last Dog and Pony Show Mould was clamoring about "finding new ways to make songs", going so far as to none-to-subtly define that album as the end as far as he and guitar rock were concerned.
