Review
It's disappointing then that Mould's solo work since has been competent rather than compelling. However District Line - his seventh solo outing - marks a return to his trademark melodic sound. Indeed, the pop punk rush of lead single The Silence Between Us or Again And Again wouldn't sound out of place on Sugar's 1992 masterpiece, Copper Blue.
On District Line there's a sense that Mould has been re-energised musically and personally. This may, in part, be due to his unexpected reinvention as a club DJ, bringing the likes of Justice and Soulwax to Washington DC, but also due to the security that middle age brings, and the accompanying feeling that he's far enough away from past glories to revisit his musical roots. Even on its more reflective moments - most notably the aching Old Highs, New Lows - District Line fizzes with warmth and naggingly insistent melodies.
If you'll excuse the pun, rather than mouldering in a corner, it's a testament to his songwriting skills that Bob is still making records as good as Husker Du's debut LP 25 years ago. For long time fans and newcomers alike, taking a ride on the District Line has rarely been as satisfying. --Rowan Collinson

I've been a fan of 'Husker Du' and 'Sugar' for years but must admit I havent followed Bob's solo stuff as closely (I dont know why). After listening to this record I will pay closer attention!
This is a rocking, heartfelt, and emotionaly intense record. Bob always has a brilliant way with melody and there are plenty of hooks in this one that quite honestly had me chocked up with the pleaure of listening to each song.
This is truly superb indie rock and wholeheartedly recommended.
