[Mould's trademark] coupling of aggression and tuneful economy is one of the chief attributes sometimes compromised on Body of Song.
-
Sure, the electrifying attack of Zen Arcade and New Day Rising is a distant memory. But Body of Song closes with two guitar anthems oversized enough to point back to Mould's best work in Sugar.
-
With his merely efficient playing, Mould never reaches the highs of electric ecstasy he perfected in his heyday.
-
Alternative PressThere's some decent stuff in the second half. [Sep 2005, p.164]
-
Q MagazineThere's little that's newly inspired and, aside from the understated Always Tomorrow, nothing superior to past glories. [Aug 2005, p.132]
-
UncutMuch of it seems to bluster without delivering. [Aug 2005, p.87]
-
Body of Song truly falters in its inability to successfully blend two sensibilities.
