Entertainment WeeklyAlternate title: Bobby--Fully Loaded. [5 Aug 2005, p.67]

Under The RadarBody of Song is the sound of an older, more mature Bob Mould. [#10, p.116]
-
Those who enjoy his new approach will like the album, and those who long for his old days of guitar-driven power-pop will find some highlights that prove no matter how old Mould gets, he still is one of the most brilliant musicians and lyricists ever.
-
Body of Song ultimately feels more like an attempt by Mould to please both his audience and himself than a coherent and confident effort.
-
This is a good, even very good, Bob Mould album, but it doesn't measure up to masterworks like Copper Blue and Zen Arcade.
-
[Mould's trademark] coupling of aggression and tuneful economy is one of the chief attributes sometimes compromised on Body of Song.
-
Body of Song truly falters in its inability to successfully blend two sensibilities.

JeffSAug 2, 2005I enjoy his trademark melodic hooks, but it is still too much like Modulate for my tastes.
