I adore half of this album, and the rest is good.

Same as a lot of others, this is the first Dino I owned or heard and holds a special place in my heart. Out There,Get Me, On the Way and Hide are all certified bangers in my book. The rest of it is still decent. I thought Without a Sound was a disappointment when it come out and still don't care for it much.

this album actually got me into Dinosaur Jr in college, so it's pretty dear to me (they became my fave band almost instantly). I think it's solid from start to finish - I do wonder how much better it might have been with Lou involved, but I love the production and thick sound of J's guitar.

Lou’s baselines are so melodic, album definitely missing him

Without a Sound wasn't as good, I agree, but I really like Hand It Over even if it's got the sad sludgefest turned up to 10. I think of it as like a spiritual sequel to Where You Been.

I have all of them and used to listen to them quite a bit. he also happens to play on all the best solo lanegan lps

last few mascis releases have all been good

One time me and my friend were the first people in the venue and J Mascis walked right by us eating peanuts and dropping the shells on the floor. He was wearing the NASA hat and everything. Too starstruck to say hi.

My friend saw Nirvana open for them and always talks about how much better Nirvana was live.

I came around to Dino Jr pretty late but I don't think I've ever listened to an album of theirs without Barlow on it
I've got to say sorry for that.

he came into a record store I was shopping in once and the owner had no idea who he was... called him a space cadet after J finished paying and left.

this is a funny little diatribe

https://www.loudersound.com/features/di ... gen-x-band

Where Nirvana still had the energy to be angsty and angry, Dinosaur Jr were the perfect Generation X band: apathetic, lazy, jaded. Their song titles said it all – Yeah We Know, How’d You Pin That One On Me, What Else Is New, Yeah Right – these truly were songs for the jilted generation: a group of people who had nothing much to say, nothing much to be angry about, nothing much to look forward to.

“Yeah,” nods Mascis. “We’re not happy and we’re not sure why. There’s nothing concrete that we could be pissed off about. There’s no war and we’re not starving or anything and we shouldn’t have any particular problems, but we’re still miserable somehow. I was kind of always envious of people who had more concrete problems cos at least they had some excuse – y’know like they were

i think it's why they're still so relatable despite any sort of generational difference from there's to the current one (mine). you could totally throw away any grunge nineties nostalgia or eighties punk stuff and just the sonics/emotional quality is still there
