Bob Mould Life and Times

3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he buzz-saw guitars on 'MM 17' are insistent and grooving..."
"[Mould] cans still write melodies that make the medicine go down, and ultimately, that's his redemption."
3 stars out of 5 -- "Bob Mould has made his most straightforward album yet....The simple, muscular rock and folk are matched in directness by lyrics that keep returning to troubled relationships..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[F]rom its melodies to its sheen, the album represents Mould at his most Sugar-y, the disc's easily digestible power-pop fueled by overdriven guitar and break-up regrets yet tempered by Mould's ruminative vocals."
3 stars out of 5 -- "It's a ninth solo album that sounds like a debut, which, after 30 years in alternative music, is some achievement."
Clash (Magazine) (p.113) - "LIFE AND TIMES finds Mould in reflective mode....When it clicks, this is another addition to a sterling back catalogue."
