Sugar Copper Blue [Heavyweight Clear Vinyl]

3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "...Mould once again creates brisk power-pop contexts for his eloquent grunge and careening, stacked-guitar collisions...an act of catharsis, even transcendence..."
Ranked #6 in Spin's list of the '20 Best Albums Of The Year' - "...rocks as loud and as proud as NEW DAY RISING-era Husker Du..."
Highly Recommended - "..[Mould's] singing and guitar playing are looser and more confident than ever before...the new songs are sterling...affecting, effective proof of Mould's continuing vitality..."
"...finds [Mould] confidently returning to Husker Du turf...Mould shows he hasn't forgotten how to write gripping melodies..." - Rating: B+
Included in Q's list of the 50 Best Albums Of 1992.
4 Stars - Excellent - "...a sensational return to the melodic grunge style Mould pioneered with the Huskers, stuffed with densely-layered guitar waves, soaring vocal harmonies and driven along at a furious rate..."
Village Voice (3/2/93, p.5) - Ranked #7 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992.
Stereo Review (12/92, p.106) - "...a return to the deliciously saturated meltdown of Mould's best work with Husker Du...Pop hooks wrestle for space with grunge, and the tug of war gives the songs their spine-tingling energy ...a downright bracing adventure..."
5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he booming opening chords of 'The Act We Act' tumble like fearsome thunder....[The] lovestruck college-rock of 'If I Can't Change Your Mind' had eminently catchy hooks."
Paste (magazine) - "COPPER BLUE is a rock juggernaut, with the powerful riffs, blistering fretwork and incisive lyrics Mould is known for."
