Bob Mould: Patch the Sky (2016)


"All this adds up to another midlife triumph from Mould, a record that harks back to his past while completely occupying the present moment, no matter how uncomfortable or painful that may be." Allmusic

The amazing thing about Bob Mould's solo output is that it is all very very good. The only weak point for me was Modulate, but I don't hate Modulate. I'd put all of his records at 4 or 5 stars out of five, except for Modulate. It's mostly the vocal treatments that I dislike and maybe the production,, but I enjoy other parts of the record. As for Patch the Sky, this is great, once again. Bob is very consistent.

Happily, my copy came with a bonus live CD with nine live tracks recorded at WXRT in June 2014.
