Search - Bob Mould :: Egoverride

Worth buying, if only for "Eternally Fried."

""Egoverride" is a great song, but you can get it off the album. Let's face it: the only reason to buy singles is for the b-sides. And, as always, just because Bob left it of the LP doesn't mean it's not worth listening to. "Wanted Was" is pretty good, with a typical Mouldian sound, but compared to a lot of his other stuff its nothing to write home about. "Doubleface" is kind of wierd; it doesn't even sound like him. But the shining track here is "Eternally Fried." With several layers of guitars and vocals--the trademark twelve-string standing above the rest--not to mention some down-right chilling lyrics, this song kicks some serious booty. And you should see him do it live."
