Free Music Notes for Beyond Album
Free Music Review: Best rock album of the year by far! Dinosaur is back!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow, I honestly expected this to sound like another decent release from J Mascis and his usual revolving door of musicians, but I was so wrong. I knew that the original lineup of J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph had reunited, but I had no idea that it would sound this good. "Beyond" easily shows how polished and experienced a songwriter J Mascis has become, but it also shows the amazing musicianship of Lou Barlow and Murph. I highly doubt that this album would be as good as it is without them, they obviously have an amazing chemistry when they play together. I have been obsessed with "You're Living All Over Me" for the last couple years, (I still consider it to be the best rock album I have ever heard), but this comes in at a close second. It honestly sounds like that lost record that you always hoped Dinosaur Jr. made after "Bug". Everything about "Beyond" reminds me of late eighties Dino, even the strange cover art. It has the amazingly hard yet melodic riffs, inspired guitar solos from J Mascis, and a great rhythm section that sets the pace and hits hard and fast at all the right times. You get your over the top wailing guitar Dino, your melodic rocking Dino, your gorgeous pop Dino, and even your new string accented Dino, "I Got Lost". While the whole album manages to sound like something from another era, it also sounds new and refreshing at the same time, a true evolution of the original Dinosaur Jr. formula. It honestly rocks harder than anything I have heard this year, and all this coming from a band that decided to have a small reunion tour and jam for old times sake. The album is a knockout from start to finish, all eleven tracks are stunning and keep your jaw on the floor until the last note... then all you can say is "Wow! I had no idea they could put out a record that good after all this time!"
Thanks Dinosaur Jr., you have truly restored my faith in guitar based rock in the new millennium... it sure was looking bleak for awhile.
