Based on its title, it's tempting to think of Life and Times as an autobiography, especially when armed with the knowledge that Bob Mould recorded this album while writing his actual autobiography (scheduled to hit stores in 2010). It's tempting, but not quite accurate, as this is less an orderly journey through the past than memories refracted through the prism of the present. Life and Times bears the unmistakable stamp of being latter-day Mould in how he consolidates his strengths, not embracing his electronica but not running away from it either, in how his writing has a casual, disarming frankness, particularly when recounting last night's sex on "Bad Blood Better." Still, there's no denying the reflective nature of Life and Times, how the past feeds the present in its subject and sounds, a description which suggests that this is a fragile, folky album, which isn't so -- this is Mould's purest pop since Sugar, its ballads surging with grace and its muscular songs built on skyscraper hooks. As immediate as Life and Times isn't nearly as diamond-hard as Copper Blue, which is a great part of its appeal: it flows naturally, the music never pushes, it settles, comfortable in its own skin.
Even if these aren't Mould's actual "Life and Times", he relays them with a conviction that makes them live and breathe as if they were his own.

From it's title, and with a memoir on the way later this fall, it's not surprising that Life and Times (out April 7th) sees Bob Mould in a reflective mood.The eighth solo album from the former Husker Du/Sugar frontman, Life and Times seems like an album by an artist finding comfort in his own skin and in himself. In some ways Mould, now sporting a bald head and greying beard, reconciles all of

Here's another song off the new Bob Mould album Life and Times. I've listened to this a few times and it's pretty strong all the way through. This guy can still crank out some great music.

"City Lights (Days Go By)" - Bob Mould There's something uncharacteristically sprightly and limber about this new song from one of indie rock's pioneers. It's not just that vibe-like synth line in the intro (although that's pretty darned sprightly); and it's not just that he's singing in his more nimble upper register rather than that forbidding lower register of his; it's really the whole ...
