Music Review

Modulate (2002)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: Mar 12, 2002; Lead Performance: Bob Mould

With Husker Du in the '80s, Sugar in the '90s, and an ongoing solo career, Mould has been a distinctive force, mixing punk rock's urgency with pop's melody. After a four-year silence, however, the Minnesota native has returned with a forgettable CD larded with limp electronic experimentation. Mould's in safer territory on the handful of straightforward guitar rock that remains his strength.
