Album of the Week: Dinosaur Jr - Your Living All Over Me

so this weeks album is an oldie, but a goodie. i apologize for not updating this blog... i have been in the process of routing the site over and simply have decided to start back on this one.

sooooo you ask, what is sooo amazing about this Dino J album? well to start with its one of the most fluent hardcore albums i think i have ever heard from Little Fury things to the Just Like Heaven cover.

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT LIKE LOUD MUSIC OR HAVE WEAK EARS, DO NOT CONTINUE READING!

since your still reading you must be a fan of rock music that rocks the phones from your ears and blows the speakers in your car. YLAOM is one of the premier early hardcore/indie records that exists. you can start to hear that Dino J comprised of the elustrious Mascis on guitar, Lou on bass, and Murph on the drums, are really starting to find their spot as musicians. i've read interviews where Mascis stated that on the first album there was a lot of talk between them of the "right" direction and the right atmosphere to lay out... and you can tell there is some clash between their EARLY hardcore sound and then their mellowed out aggression that they developed into. so when you listen to YLAOM it may be Dino J's second album, it my opinion, which doesn't for stand much... but since your reading this blog you must have a shred of interest in what i have to say, in my opinion this is the first and best album that defines the Dino J sound.

What is the Dino J sound?

well that is not a completely easy question to answer, but to me, the Dino J sound is a mellowed out rhythm with an overlayed bleeding lead guitar, percussion with constant outbursts... and all of this is played at not 10, but 11 on the volume scale.

but anyways, thats just a short excerpt about the album, now go listen to it and tell me what ya think! till next time girls and boys!

peace and chicken grease!
