Bob goes off on a tangent.......2006-05-07

OK, I admit I was expecting another of Mould's usual incredible outings of bracing, guitar-driven power-pop, and I admit that I miss that traditional post-Husker Du sound on this outing. However, as a longtime fan of everything Bob, "Modulate" (a very apt name, by the way) does have its merits. Miles Davis was equally experimental at many points in his career.
Mould has always been one to try a new sound, a new way of doing things. Whoever would have expected Husker Du to develop into the incredibly tight, melodic, hyperdrive rock unit they eventually became, after listening to "Land Speed Record"?!?
Although I don't like everything on "Modulate" by any means, I am willing to consider it another "Land Speed Record", another beginning, an offshoot in an entirely new direction. Hell, "Workbook" was pretty strange after listening to Husker Du for all those years, but I loved it. This album is not up to the same level as "Workbook", but it certainly isn't terrible, either. It's an experiment with new instruments and production methods, and I doubt very much that it will define a "new Bob Mould" that older fans will reject. I certainly am not expecting him to turn into New Order, Bjork, or Erasure (some of the most prominent influences on this album). Give the man a chance. He's been playing the same kind of guitar rock for decades now. He deserves a chance to try something else for a change. Maybe it didn't work out the way he intended, but it's good for a listen anyhow.

His best since "Beaster".......2005-08-07

No disrespect to the folk who have given this album negative reviews - everyone's entitled to their opinion, after all - but I find the blinkered indie purism displayed by some of the more conservative elements of Mould's fanbase a tad puzzling, to say the least. As the previous reviewer notes, Mould's career has for the most part been distinguished by constant re-evaluation, and his best music has usually been produced whilst under the influence of a powerful drive to evolve artistically.

For me, "Modulate" is his best album in ages, as his last three ("The Last Dog & Pony Show", "Bob Mould", and Sugar's "File Under Easy Listening" - the last of which we can hold responsible for the unfortunate rise to fame of Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters) trod water and repeated an increasingly worn-out formula with diminishing returns. Not only have Mould's experiments with electronic instrumentation given his songwriting a new context in which to flourish, the songs themselves are his strongest in years - particular standouts being "The Receipt", "Sound on Sound", "Come On Strong", "Trade" and "Quasar". Surely artistic stagnation, not electronica, is the real enemy for any artist of Mould's calibre.

I can see no reason why Huskers / Sugar fans who listen to "Modulate" with an open mind can't find plenty to enjoy here.
Oh, and one more question for those voyeurs who enjoy speculating about band politics - are "The Receipt"'s lyrics about Grant Hart or what?

Everybody Poops.......2005-06-22

This time it's Bob's turn. I always thought Grant wrote the cool songs in Husker Du anyway (even if he IS an unbelievable blue-haired Leif Garret-lookin' nitwit). Bob bought some toys. Bob played with toys. Bob recorded Bob playing with toys. Then Bob made a horrible, horrible mistake: Bob released recordings of Bob playing with toys. Oh, well...

Extremely disappointing.......2004-12-12

There are a couple of songs that aren't bad, but I can't help but imagine how incredible they would have been if you swept away the amateurish electronic squiggles and bleeps, replaced the clumsy drum programming with a live drummer (like Matt Hammon, who livened up "The Last Dog And Pony Show") and pumped up the guitars.

I hope Bob can figure out how to create electronica that is as distinctive as what he created as an alternative rocker. But this just isn't going to cut it.

why all the bad reviews?.......2004-10-24

I've been a long time bob mould fan. First listen shocked me, but after a few plays I really started to appreciate it. now it's in regular rotation on my playlist. I enjoy every song. sunset safety glass' weird frenetic keyboard noise and bass groove rocks, I think. Slay / Sway and Trade are great, too. I'm a big fan of Sugar's "Copper Blue" and I hear bits of that on this album.
