Bob Mould - Here We Go Crazy (2025)
Here We Go Crazy is a guitar-driven alternative rock album defined by speed, clarity, and melodic force. Distorted guitars dominate the mix, paired with direct vocals and production that favors punch over atmosphere.
The album moves quickly and with little deviation. Songs are tightly constructed, built around immediate hooks and consistent tempos, and sequenced to maintain momentum rather than shape a broader arc. There is minimal sense of buildup or release across the runtime.
Its strengths lie in discipline and execution. The performances are sharp, the songwriting is economical, and the record delivers energy without clutter or excess. The material feels confident and controlled, reflecting a veteran approach to form.
The limitations are structural and emotional. The constant brightness and forward drive leave little room for tension, contrast, or reflection. Few moments slow the pace or deepen the emotional register, which narrows the album’s expressive range.
As a result, Here We Go Crazy functions as a solid, well-crafted rock record that prioritizes propulsion and craft, offering consistency and immediacy without pushing toward greater depth.
