Sugar - Helpless Changes

Review by Jackie Go

The album "Helpless Changes" by Sugar is a perfect blend of power-pop and alternative rock. The band, led by Bob Mould, has done an excellent job of creating a sound that is both unique and catchy. The album is full of energy and has a great flow from beginning to end.

The opening track "Gift" sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy guitar riffs. The lyrics are introspective and thought-provoking, which is a common theme throughout the album. "A Good Idea" is another standout track with its driving rhythm and memorable chorus.

The album takes a more mellow turn with "Gee Angel," a slower ballad that showcases Mould's softer side. The song is beautifully arranged and has a haunting quality that lingers long after it's over.

About Sugar

After two solo albums, ex-Hüsker Dü guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould formed Sugar in 1992, with David Barbe (Bass) and Malcolm Travis (drums, percussions). The band signed with Rykodisc in the U.S., Creation in the U.K. Sugar's first album, Copper Blue, was released in the fall of 1992. It was the most successful album by Sugar. In the spring of 1993, Sugar released the mini-LP Beaster, a more abrasive collection than Copper Blue that was recorded at the same sessions. The album, File Under: Easy Listening, appeared in the fall of 1994. Although it received good reviews, it didn't match the performance of Copper Blue. A collection of rarities and B-sides was released in summer 1995, before Mould broke up the band in Fall and began to work on a third solo album.

There is an excellent podcast called "That Record Got Me High" and they just discussed Copper Blue on a recent episode. Check it out; it's illuminating.

I like the fact that the band doesn’t give two shits about the video. Just get us on 120 Minutes, please.

Gosh this reminds of College in the early 90’s

Another time time after time
You make me feel so helpless I
I never tried to change your mind
I keep it to myself it's
Sometimes I've got to tell you
Is it this time I'll tell you
We've got to go to places
Somewhere I don't mind it's special
And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing
Meaning much
The meaning I will have to try
To take your mind to places
I wish that I could help you
But you seem less than helpless
I always tried to tell you
Someday that it'd seem so special
Time after time what's on your mind
You make me feel so helpless I
You never tried what's on your mind
You make me feel so helpless I
I feel so helpless I
You're left alone with something
And I hope for you it's one thing
That something you and yours can
Hold and hold as something special
And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing meaning much
The meaning I will have to try
What's on your mind so helpless I
I feel so helpless I

Freshman year at University of Western Ontario....heard this track 1st time 29 years ago this month. Thanks Angela Baird. Still one of my favorites period

Takes me back to a very specific time just before I entered my 20s every time I hear this. Sugar was terrific. Bob Mould is a national treasure.

Great song, bad video

There used to be this radio station in Southern California at this time... Pirate Radio. There was KNAC, which played metal, and KROQ, which was alternative, but Pirate Radio was sort of both. I remember like hearing Metallica and GnR but then Nirvana and Alice in Chains, and this song coming on a lot. Just popped in my head, I don't think I've heard this song since 1993.
