    I would describe it as generic Bob Mould product - not quite the real thing. The best two songs on this album would be filler on Sugar, and that's being generous.

    Now in his 50s, Bob Mould returns not as the forefather of modern indie rock, but as a vital contemporary.

    Silver Age is a fun ride, then, but it won't warrant racing back for any tine soon. [6 Oct 2012, p.53]

    Silver Age is the most consistently exciting record he's made since Sugar's Copper Blue. [Nov 2012, p.86]
