Bob Mould (sometimes referred to as Hubcap) is the third solo album by former Hüsker Dü and Sugar guitarist and singer Bob Mould. It was recorded and mixed between September & November 1995 and released in April 1996. Mould played all of the instruments on the album himself, and the sleeve notes declare, "This one is for me." In the place of traditional band credits, the sleeve states, "Bob Mould is Bob Mould." The song "Dog on Fire," which was chosen to be the theme song of The Daily Show, was originally written for this album.
Cover art looks boring as all buggery. This isn't too bad. It's just kinda catchy 90s alternative/punk stuff. Doesn't really pick up much, relies a lot on being pretty easy listening. But that's nice thing. It's easy to like. 4/5.
Rating: 6/10
I dont remember anything about husker du but I feel like this is very different from that type of music. It felt like the live music you’d hear at a local boomer lounge. Not super complex and nothing super special but it’s still sounds decent.
Good enough scuzzy indie.
This was a solid listen, but I tend to prefer Bob Mould's Workbook-era albums. One thing about this album that intrigues me though is how it breaks creatively from the work Mould was doing while in Sugar. You can almost read the very palpable anger and emotional exhaustion of these songs in the context of a broken relationship or that of a broken band. He wouldn't be the first artist who explored that territory, but it's pretty clever. Fave Songs: Next Time That You Leave, Art Crisis, Deep Karma Canyon, Anymore Time Between, Roll Over and Die
Still felt like a Husker Du album, but one that had aged much better and felt fresher. Really enjoyed some of the guitar work at play on this LP – not every track is a winner and there are some definite snoozers, but I’m a sucker for this kind of 90s guitar and enjoyed listening overall.
