    Even on songs which tap into more difficult territory, such as "When Your Heart Is Broken", he delivers it with such a seamless knack for melodic songcraft, that he even turns heartache into foot-stomping riffs and sing-along choruses. [Apr 2025, p.30]

    There are moments here that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Mould’s considerable back catalogue – and while Here We Go Crazy won’t, in all probability, gain Mould any new fans, there’s plenty to satisfy anyone who’s come under his considerable spell over the last few decades.

    He tops it [2021's Blue Hearts] with Here We Go, thanks to a stripped back approach and a more hopeful lyrical tone. [Apr 2025, p.76]

    All but unchanged aesthetically at 64, this alt-rock icon's rockin' on. [Apr 2025, p.78]

    The craft of Here We Go Crazy is superb, and Bob Mould is one of the very, very few musicians who came up in the 1980s hardcore scene and is still making powerful, relevant music in the 2020s. However, if he wanted to make an album that reflects the chaos of the culture that witnessed its creation, he may have hit the bullseye just a bit too close to the center.

    With many of us trying hard to find our bearings and the energy to take up another four year fight, Mould delivers a clear-eyed, but not despairing, song cycle that might help you get through the next four years.

    The record is not without some brighter moments and a celebration of unconditional love on ‘Thread So Thin’ and ‘Your Side’.
