This album is the sound of Bob Mould reinvigorated and reasserting his place at the head of the pantheon of US indie rock. Over 30 years since he started making music, ’Silver Age’ is a classic

Experimentation is one thing, but don’t underrate the pleasures of hearing a man doing what he does best, enjoying his very own silver age.

Silver Age is the rejuvenation of Bob Mould. It’s a refinement of what he accomplished with Sugar, and is arguably the most consistently engaging album he’s made since Copper Blue

It’s energetic enough, and vital enough, and I welcome Mould back to his raging roots, but Silver Age fails one key test. I sadly can’t imagine my 17-year-old self playing air guitar to any of these songs
