One thing you can rely on with Dinosaur Jr. after all these years is that more or less, Dinosaur Jr. is going to sound like Dinosaur Jr. Despite the line-up changes, and old and new members coming and going, they were going to sound just like the first time you heard them, which for the majority of people was probably in their high school years. This is of course because of one the constant that has lasted since their inception, which of course is the Western Massachusetts guitar god, J Mascis. There was a "worrying" time with their last album, where to me everything about the songs just sounded OFF. I don't even know how to explain, but things were simply not right. Maybe it was the mandolins they randomly added. Was it mandolins? Whatever it was, to me, it wasn't good. Luckily they are back on track with this new LP, and not only sounding like a mix of all the various style changes over the years (slight changes, of course) rolled into one. And on top of that, my favorite part of J's musicianship - his shredding, his noodling, his breathless guitar solos - seem more abundant than ever. Maybe this album, their 11th, isn't as good as I think, and is more of a relief for me after the last. If so, it was one hell of a set up, and it worked perfectly. J FOREVER.
