![Out The Hood [Explicit]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KWuKDkRFL.__AC_SR166,182___.jpg)
Who but Bob Mould would move to Berlin to find happiness? Sure, there are the de rigueur power chords we've come to know and respect on SUNSHINE ROCK, but beneath the grinding guitars (and buried vocals one can only really catch on headphones) there are some pretty well-crafted power pop songs.
Reminiscent of his better work with SUGAR, this is pure power pop (heck, even the tambourine is back!). Listen to the perfectly blended, beautiful use of strings that effortlessly lift the heavy guitars throughout the album, and you find what's at the heart of SUNSHINE ROCK: positive energy. It is Bob Mould finding joy after the joyless years spent mourning his parents (on the last two albums), or dealing with getting older (the must-have SILVER AGE). He takes this pain and willfully turns it around: especially on "Lost Faith." Following a somber verse that could easily devolve into bleak Bob Mould once again, he kicks into a rocking chorus and exclaims that "we all lose faith in troubles times," but we can turn it around, fight back, and redeem ourselves. We can reclaim our right to be happy. We can find a way home. Find our way out into the sun. It is these themes of redemption, retuning home (expressed none to subtly in the metaphorically sweet acoustic "Camp Sunshine") keeping hope alive, and celebrating those silly love songs (like the uplifting "Sunshine Rock" and "Sunny Love Song") that move records along like this at a breakneck (not plodding) pace.
The titular track opens with guitars blazing, and sets the mood for the entire album. The message is clear: step out the darkness which is world at this time. Step out into the sunshine. Find love. Of someone. Of something. Of yourself. Oh, and in case you didn't get the message the you are supposed to enjoy yourself, rock your ass off to the cover of Shocking Blue's "Send Me a Postcard," the penultimate track.
Those expecting BLACK SEETS OF RAIN need not apply. Step into the light. Trust me, it's not silly or uncomfortable. It's a place in a f^&%#! up world that we all could stand to visit right now. It recognizes the misery that is out there, but invites us to step out in the sun. Listen to some blistering guitar riffs. Forget the world. Feel better. If only for a while. A little under 40 minutes to be exact..
