Bob Mould realized his career goal--a rock & roll trio like Hsker D, only without another strong personality to compete with him--most completely with Sugars 1992 debut. Its mixed strangely, with little bass and lots of treble, but that gives it a buzzing power, especially on heavy-guitar songs like "Hoover Dam" and "If I Cant Change Your Mind." By the end of "A Good Idea," the narrator inexplicably drowns the woman he loves and Moulds voice assumes a frightening monotone. The only real relief from Copper Blues intensity is the constant flood of catchy melodies. --Steve Knopper

Customer ReviewsThank You Bob Mould
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
Thanks, Bob...thanks for your well written tunes and hum-able melodies in this context...Thanks for writing Hoover Dam! Wish you were given more recognition for your songs.
Quite possibly, the most UNDERRATED 90s Album
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
Wow, listening to this album again 15 years after its initial release reminds me why I tracked down all things Sugar. From the opening cut, "The Act We Act" through the songs that got limited airplay, "Helpless" and "If I Cant Change Your Mind" all the way to the end, there isnt a skipper in the bunch. I tracked down all the singles back in the day as well, since there were lots of additional B-Sides that were recorded. This album is a great cross between Pop/Punk/Grunge that works on all kinds of levels.
Some highlights, "A Good Idea", "Hoover Dam" and "If I Cant..."
Highly Recommended for anyone into great songwriting, loud mixed guitars and great music!
Bob Mould Crowning Achievement
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
For all the influence Bob Mould has had on everything "alternative" with his work in Husker Du, and as a soloist, this is his crowning achievement.
Walls of guitar sound, his searing voice, and the heartbreakingly mournful/angry/sad "Slim", about the death of his lover to AIDS, worth the price, alone.
A1 power chords & meaningful lyrics

I wonder why SUGAR has received basically no recognition for a quality work on power rock (thats how I call their style anyway). Such a great power trio at play on all tracks from COPPER BLUE.
Husker Who?!?! Husker What?!??

This was my second introduction to Bob Mould. The first was Black Sheets of Rain, back in the summer of 91, when this guy, Pat, gave me the tape when we worked at Tracks together. For me, who was heavy into hair bands and metal at the time, it was quickly disregarded...left to die in the vast wasteland that is my tape collection. A few years later, stationed in Okinawa, JP, I was divinely intervened with this CD. My girlfriend at the time, would play this album over and over again, cruising up and down the island. Bobs lyrics are so real, you can pluck them out the air and the music is a perfect compliment, like a fine liquor to the lips. DOnt fret, that I gave this 4 stars, as it deserves 5 in my book. Its just that I cant seem to forget that girl and the hole she left in my heart. This CD is emotional therapy and to this day gives me goosebumps, "standing on the edge of the Hoover Dam".
