iTunes Review
Primal but not primitive, Dinosaur Jr. came into their own on 1988’s Bug. This hellacious yet frequently tuneful work proved that hard rock’s menacing muscle could be fused with the quirky instincts of punk. J Mascis deconstructs and reconfigures familiar guitar hero motifs with a quick intelligence and deadpan humor, supported admirably by Lou Barlow’s liquid bass and Murph’s nimble, jazzy drumming. Bug’s songs draw upon Neil Young’s garage-folk aesthetic and give it a distinctly ‘80s indie-rock bent. Every composition has a unique character — “No Bones” matches a painfully yearning lyric with a slithery, tempo-shifting arrangement, while “Don’t” anticipates the screamo subgenre amidst flesh-searing riffage. The band’s tunes often teeter on the edge of mainstream appeal, as the bopping “Budge” and the chipper “They Always Come” demonstrate. For all their love of cacophony, “Pond Song” reveals a reflective, almost gentle sensibility. All these elements come together into a throbbing whole on “Freak Scene,” a glorious effusion of neurosis spurred on by Mascis’ hot-wired guitar.
Customer Reviews
Cause when I need a friend it's still you..
Drank a lot of beer to this album in the later 80's. Great follow up to the self titled Dinosuar and You're living all over me albums. Saw them play the night before I got married at the Whisky in Feb '91, I could barely hear the vows the next day at the county clerk. I remember a girl holding some guys head who was laying in the gutter outside the Whisky screaming... "He can't hear!! He can't hear!!"
That's so cool. (It was loud, I mean real loud...)
GRADE A ROCK N ROLL
This feels like the second half of a double album that started with 1987's "You're Living All Over Me." This album reveals more of guitarist/singer/songwriter/mastermind J Mascis' classic rock influences than the last one, and as a result, it's a bit more accessible. Songs like "Freak Scene," "They Always Come," and "Budge" sound like big hit rock songs from the 70's, albeit strained through YLAOM's offbeat punk filter. That's not a criticism, of course; this album is easily as good as it's predecessor. After this album, J fired everyone and got lazy, still returning to this album's blueprint today. They were never this good again.
Good Dinosaur Jr Album
I own a lot of Dinosaur Jr albums, but my favorite are the first three. The sound quality isn't that great, which really gives it a raw edge. It's also fast paced and post-punk which is cool. J Mascis is great on the axe, Lou's your average cool looking bassist, and Murph is amazingly fast on drums. Of the first three this one stands out as the catchiest. Every song I believe is great, except for "Don't" which is a bit to annoying after the first 30 seconds. But all in all, this was a very good album. 4 stars.
