Where does one go after fronting one of the most influential American rock bands of the post-'70s era? How does one remain occupied after helping determine the sound and shape of alternative rock in the '80s, '90s, and 2000s? If the person is Bob Mould (whose group Husker Du is the mystery band referred to above; his follow-up band, the razory punk-pop act Sugar, wasn't too shabby either), he records solo albums. From the introspective acoustic-scapes of 1989's WORKBOOK to the electronic tendencies of 2002's MODULATE, Mould has continually pushed past the shadow of his legacy, venturing into new directions while still maintaining his mercurial rock edge.

2005's BODY OF SONG bears many of the hallmarks of Mould's best work. The programming touches from previous efforts can still be heard, but the massive, guitar-dominated, full-band sound recalls Sugar circa COPPER BLUE (and there is a similarly metallic, full-saturation production style). As anyone familiar with Mould will expect, the songs are quite sharp too: they overflow with memorable, melodic hooks, introspective lyrics, and full-throttle passion. From the thunderous opener "Circles" through the plaintively confessional "Days of Rain" to "Beating Heart the Prize," the surging closer, BODY OF SONG is a welcome return to form for this rock icon.

Photographers: Todd Franson; Lisa Pearl.

Personnel: Bob Mould (vocals, guitar, keyboards, loops); Bob Mould (bass instrument, programming); David Barbe (bass instrument); Amy Domingues (cello); Matt Hammon, Brendan Canty (drums).

Audio Mixer: Bob Mould.

Spin (p.103) - "[With] one of his most sublimely sincere songs, '(Shine Your) Light Love Hope,' which uses a filtered vocal and high-hat dance beat to get your heart pounding." - Grade: B-
Mojo (Publisher) (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The result is a guitar album, for definite....There's balance in the romance department...bringing a satisfying emotional evenness to BODY OF SONG as an overall listen."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars BRINGING BACK THE ROCK...SORT OF
There were some major gasps when Bob did an electronica record of sorts with "Modulate". I have to admit being a long-time fan, I was wondering what he was up to. This album is a marriage between that experiment and his past. It's a solid well written package. Only Shine Your Love is making any dance concessions, but it still kind of rocks in a way. Great record!

3 stars Bob's kinda back
Ok, as a very long-time Bob Mould fan, I can say that I'm thrilled that he's featuring a lot of guitar again. There are some great solo Bob & Sugar sounds here, and some new twists that include Bob's techno interests. I don't have a problem with an artist pursuing new directions, but for a while there I was really disappointed with Mould's electronica movement. Glad he's playing rock & roll again.

Television Marquee Moon CD  (1977) Remastered; Digipak

Body Of Song album
CD $10.89  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
New York's 1970s punk was markedly different to that of Britain. Rather than reject the past, American groups deconstructed its forms and rebuilt them with recourse to the music's strengths. Television's leader, Tom Verlaine, professed admiration for Moby Grape and the folk rock of early Fairport Convention. Elements of the latter appear on this album's title track, which offers a thrilling instrumental break, built upon a modal scale. Verlaine's shimmering guitar style provides the set's focus, but his angular compositions are always enthralling. A sense of brooding mystery envelops the proceedings, and Marquee Moon retains its standing as one of the era's pivotal releases. Rhino's 2003 expanded edition of Television's seminal ...

At the time of HALF SMILES OF THE DECOMPOSED's release in 2004, Guided By Voices ringleader Robert Pollard claimed that it would be the long-running indie band's last record. While the album's artwork (particularly the back cover's telltale sunset photo) reinforces the sense of finality, the music here plays to the strengths that GBV has developed since ...

Pavement Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain CDs  (1994) 2CD

Body Of Song music CDs
CD $15.09  3 stars Audio Samples
The 10-year-anniversary deluxe edition of CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN is a Pavement fan's dream come true. It feature no less than 37 (!) bonus tracks over the course of its two discs. Some are studio outtakes, some are alternate versions, others are rare B-sides, but all hail from the CROOKED RAIN era and underscore the degree to which the band was firing on all cylinders at the time. Tuneful without being soft, confident without being pompous, hip without being inaccesible, CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN was a huge leap for Pavement up the rock & roll evolution cycle. They may have gained some pop smarts, but ...

Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD  (2005)

Body Of Song songs
CD $10.79  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation. Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") ...
