   This album is the best album of his career. The subtle nuances that separate his work from those he influenced and continues to influence are what makes me want to listen to it over and over. I hear something new each time I listen. The man is simply a musical genius. What more could a rock fan ask for in one album. From the start of the first chord in "Star Machine" to the last breath of his guitar on the final epic "First Time Joy" there is not one moment that let's your ears down. Put it on, crank it to 11 and enjoy the best roller coaster ride that you can't wait to jump back in line for. In the words of Tommy Ramone "The Ramones are an original Rock and Roll group of 1975, and their songs are brief, to the point and every one a potential hit single". Check, Check, Check. That's Rock and Roll.… Expand

   This album is very reminiscent of later Husker Du and when Bob Mould released Copper Blue. It's possibly his best since Copper Blue. This isn't a perfect album, it has its flaws as does every album, but it's still nice to see an artist progress instead of being forgotten like so many have. And how can Duke_Challenger rate this album a 0? Bob Mould is one of the greatest guitarists and lyricists of all time, yet he can't find any redeeming quality from the album at all? That's just ridiculous.… Expand

   meh. Bob Mould does not break new ground with Silver Age. Like the majority of his post Husker Du output, expect two or three above average tracks per release. The rest is disposable Mould that could have been dusted off from unreleased outakes from twenty years ago. Mould does not appear to be evolving. Once again, he and this batch of hired guns have delivered a clinical and sterile album that lacks the emotion fueled, behind the scenes friction that pushed Husker Du releases into greatness. Mould may never admit it, but he needs Grant Hart as much as Jeff Tweedy needs Jay Bennett.… Expand
