Bob Mould - Slay/Sway

[WhenWorldsCollide91]

The moment you stop exploring, the very moment you allow yourself to get stuck between certain boundaries set up by other people, you failed to be a musician. Bob Mould avoided that.

[lepaul2002]

still an album that divides the fans.....it has its ups and downs, but what the hell, better with it than without. if bob farted in the bath it would probably have a hook you could sing along to. the mans a genius.

I love this!

[voidingindigo]

This song sounds like the early 90s.

[tacomanite]

Mould still ends up sounding brilliant - even in a bizarre genre that I think generally blows.

loved lost zoloft, this album is a grower

[DJJ246810]

@forakiller I was given this album many years ago, being a big Husker fan, so sorry I didn't play it until now, I'm totally hooked, and lost zoloft is a gem amongst gems.

I know I said this on another Mould clip, but this album was the best example of never being able to keep up with Bob Mould. Just about the time I think I've got him all figured out, and buy an album expectantly KNOWING what I'm gonna get... he changes direction and I'm left wondering where he went. I didn't like this album when I bought it... but it has grown on me. Where will he be next time?

[almadora]

why was the album considered "controversial?"

[shaxan]

The album marked Mould's shift toward electronic music, which stired arguments over it between hardcore husker/sugar/mould fans who didn't like it and those who thought that exploring new styles is good for a rock musician. I don't know if I made my point clear )))

[p4horror]

Yes, I remember reading all the negative reviews. I remember Vice Magazine giving it .01 stars out of 10 and the worst CD release of the month. It goes to show how full of crap their reviewers are. When I bought it I gave it my personal 11 out of 10 stars. Thanks for posting all these Bob Mould videos. Very appreciated.

[beelzabubba]

Reviewers in magazines are mostly musicians that never got anywhere as musicians, so they became reviewers and give a good review only to their

friends or those that they would like to be friends with. It's a fucked up system, but that's the way it goes.

[stucerocks]

Shaxan- This is a naiive question- why would this be considered electronic music?

[shaxan]

I don't know. So they say. You should listen thru the whole album, maybe then you'll find the answer to your question, man ))

[gustavmarie]

just over half of Modulate can be considered totally electro the remaining half is Mould's typical droney noisy pop rock ..this is a good song

[mrscry]

I guess 'cause it was slightly different... this album and "Last Dog and Pony Show" are his two most interesting and diverse albums and, thus to me, his best two records he's made solo or with any band.

[SteveStoneDadof2]

No way man, the best Bob's ever done was the 1st Sugar record, the 2nd is CLEARLY Black Sheets of Rain. That's just 1 man's opinion. God Bless

SUPER 8!
