🖐 和訳【Waiting Room/ Fugazi】どん底から帰還 Returned from Depths | Mind You

I rarely find this in artists I've followed for a long time as I tend to like one era best and never waver, but Bob Mould has put out his best music on two of his most recent releases: Body of Song and District Line. I think this album shows that growth, while still being accessible to those of us who most appreciate his pre-Modulate work I was going to just let the quality of this cd speak for itself, but after reading a few other reviews well, I had to put some points forward. This is a great cd and buy it now!!!!!! Mould harmonizes his voice on this one and it sounds very cool. Contains some of the most depressing lyrics I have ever heard Read more Solid album that any fan of Bob Mould should definitely own. I thought Modulate was very weak lyrically almost as if a kid wrote them though it was fresh and offered some of Mould's best material to that date musically. The pitch of your broad chest as it exhales into mine. There are really no weak songs on the album There's nothing overly Husker-Du inflected here, he returned to that style on later albums like Silver Age, but this is a great taster of the mainstream-targeted Bob Mould work with the amp set at 8 rather than I really liked Modulate and loved Body of Song. He has a right to grow as an artist. Cut my heart out with a razor now. Five or more stars I don't think we can expect Bob to stay the same person he was in the Husker era, the Workbook era, or the Sugar era. It is a catchy, pleasant little tune at first and then it explodes! To compare, this record has a harder, more aggresive sound than Husker's last double album. If you do not like the electronica mixed in here then your musical taste, in the future tense, is sorely limited. Another thing I've noticed is how much better the lyrics are. The lyrics are mostly about relationships gone sour--real world stuff, but very powerful. I like Body of Song much better. It is upbeat and a real feel-good track although the lyrics do not follow the fun rocker at all: "Just to please you, I'd blow my brains out, this is it. There are lines on some of these tracks that blow me away. I like the line "We all cry once in a while. It is probably the most easily remembered track on the CD as I found myself humming the opening when I first started listening to the album. If you were not a fan of Husker Du in the early or mids, then simply don't judge what he is doing now Husker Du is privileged territory for 80s punks, so as Jack Black says, "step off". And my lawyers got the will. As much as I like Body of Song, District Line is a bit better because it is so solid. District Line is strong both lyrically and musically. It would have fit well on Workbook. Initially I placed District Line above Modulate and just below Body of Song, but it has rarely been out of my CD player or car stereo since I started listening to it. Ain't that how life goes. The cello I guess that's what it is is a nice touch.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, Misery that will make you happy Great record. Why oh why does Bob Mould have to be the maligned artist?

There is nothing weak here. Perhaps the best thing about this cd, but only one of the "best things" about Bob Mould, is that it and he are reminders of where so much of contemporary music has come from--in a sadly watered-down state. And it blends Bob Mould's first two solo album's opposing sweetness and darkness "Black Sheets of Rain" is one of the forgotten and ignored gems of modern music. Every song is wonderful! This is worth adding to the collection but it won't make your favorites list a legend. But he is, thankfully, not a new artist--and this cd brings him back to the late-period Husker Du, and the best of Sugar Beaster? I'll put this CD in and play it straight or on shuffle and am perfectly happy. Old highs, new lows. It reminds me a little of "Sinners And Their Repentances" which is one of Mould's most beautiful songs. It doesn't fit well with your smile. It is disturbing and powerful. I can't think of another alternative, never mind punk, artist who has been able to produce such a strong record twenty years after their identity-defining band has broken up. This is a great album, even if Bob Mould was a new artist. It is a laid-back, relaxing track with lyrics that give a content feel instead of the anguish of most of the songs here.
