Reviews In Brief
Husker Du's Bob Mould's second band Sugar is an underappreciated national treasure. More melodic, crunchier but accessible it was a logical next step for an indie-punk darling. "Copper Blue" is close to perfect and it has aged extremely well. There are metal elements mixed with pop awareness but not so much to dilute the edginess. Each song is anthemic filling every sound nook and cranny. It doesn't relent and give the listener a rest- which is exactly what one should want from a killer rock album. Close your eyes and let "Copper Blue" wash over you.
