Biography

Don't be thrown by the title. Life And Times, the ninth solo album from Bob Mould, is not autobiographical. That these ten ruminations on the fragility of relationships resound so powerfully speaks to Mould's abilities as a writer and performer, but the source material wasn't torn from his diary. "These are things that happen to all of us," he clarifies. Diehard fans craving inside dirt must wait… Read more in Amazon's Bob Mould Store

4.0 out of 5 stars staggering intensity, June 11, 2000
By 
Swampdog (Bellingham Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sheets of Rain (Audio CD)
This isn't so much a review as a story - I loaned my copy of this cd to a co-worker, a very optimistic and sunny type (on the back of a tape that I actually thought he'd be interested in), and told him that when I really got depressed I'd put this on full volume and blast all the ugliness out of my head. He returned the tape, and told me he kinda liked the other side, but regarding Black Sheets of Rain he looked at me with a worried expression and said "I never get that depressed". That may tell you whether you want to buy this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated Masterpiece, April 28, 2003
This review is from: Black Sheets of Rain (Audio CD)
If depression could play a '66 Strat [constantly on the verge of feeding back], it would sound just like this. Easily the darkest of his solo efforts, this album lacks for no high energy hooky material or throw myself off something high angst. Best played at 11 when the wife is at her sister's for the weekend. A keeper until your kids ask you why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Intense isn't the word for "Black Sheets", November 26, 2003
This review is from: Black Sheets of Rain (Audio CD)
To listen to "Black Sheets of Rain" you need a good set of ears. Then, you have to crank your stereo up to high volume. Anything less, and you won't get it.

I would imagine that this CD is probably a high point in Bob Mould's career. This is powerful stuff. A great songwriter and technically proficient guitarist, Mould's lryics are sometimes apocalyptical and thought-provoking:

So don't send me invitations to your big parade
Place of residence unknown
In my eyes there is no confidence
There is no calm before the storm

I agree: Anton Fier's drumming really makes "Sacrafice (Let There Be Peace)" take on a life of its own - because it's not straight 4/4 time - The rythm really drives.

"Black Sheets" and "Workbook" are really companion pieces. Both are great CD's and I am sure that these great recording will stand the test of time.
