Bob Mould gives us his second post-Sugar release, "The Last Dog & Pony Show" this week. Bob still has the gift of being a songster, and the songs are all solid on this release. "Megamanic," however gets my vote for the 'should have been left as a b-side' category as Mould twiddles the knobs on a 'drum-n-bass' style music with Bob rapping over it (more frightening than amusing). If you're looking for a solid pop/rock record heavy on the bright guitars and melody, this one's for you.
