Description

Original 1994 RYKO ANALOGUE pressing of the SUGAR album, FILE UNDER EASY LISTENING (RALP 10300)
LYRIC INSERT
AMG 4 1/2 STARS: Given Bob Mould's reputation for searing electric rock & roll, it may be easy to think that the title of File Under: Easy Listening is ironic, and it is to a certain extent. But beneath the loud guitars lie the friendliest, most relaxed pop songs Mould had ever written. "Your Favorite Thing" and "Can't Help You Anymore" are two of Mould's most direct, pop-oriented songs, driven by instantly memorable melodies and hooks; they are also the most conventional songs on the record. The best moments come whenSugar push the boundaries a bit, whether it's on the country-rock of "Believe What You're Saying," the swirling "What You Want It to Be" and "Company Book," the searching ballad "Panama City Motel," or "Explode and Make Up," which bristles even at its most delicate moments. Mould throws in one classic spite-fueled rocker, "Granny Cool," but the record's finest moment is "Gee Angel," a powerhouse melodic scorcher.



Condition: the sleeve- still in the shrink wrap, with price sticker- grades NM. The record grades MINT. Check out my feedback score; you won't be disappointed.
