leading up to the release. An advance digital single release on iTunes of the song "Paralyzed" became an immediate hit, and a specially packaged limited edition version sold out most of its pressing through direct advance orders (shipped to customers two weeks prior to the street date) from Yep Roc's web site (the remaining stock was saved for brick-and-mortar retail sale). In conjunction with the release of the album, Mould formed his first live touring band since 1998, with Canty on drums, Morel on keyboards and vocals, and Jason Narducy (Rockets Over Sweden, ex-Verbow) on bass, ending a "semi-retirement" from full-band performance. Critical receptionThe A.V. Club wrote that the album "finds Mould creating familiar-sounding music without simply rehashing fan favorites." The Washington Post'' deemed it "all over the map, a sonic mashup of Mould's career stops." Track listing All songs written by Bob Mould and (c)(p)2005 Granary Music (BMI).
