Read Bob Mould's blog here:

Has anyone heard any of his new stuff? I've not heard any of his albums since Sugar split up.

Yeah, I hate to burst the bubble... because I still love the man dearly... but his new output has been a touch craptastic. Like our Brave leader, he too has been bitten by the DIY electronica bug... but while Melt uses the power for good, Bob has used it for evil (as long as your definition of evil is "bland trancey beats."

That said, his new one that just came out is definitely a step in the right direction -- I just don't like his penchant to throw really cheap drum loops over his usual singer-songwriter angst. I mean, really, did Sugar ever need a DANCE REMIX? Because that's almost what his new stuff sounds like.

I hate to slag Bob, I really do. I have nothing but respect for the guy, and I've seen him play live 4 or 5 times. He just needs to disembark from this DJ culture fetish that's been surrounding him lately. Experimentation is fine and dandy, but this isn't the best of experiments.
