Been There All The Time

It takes a mere few seconds of the first Dinosaur Jr record in God knows how long for the years to drop away. That familiar J Mascis whine, the desire to crowbar in a distorted guitar solo as soon as possible, and the feeling that, no matter how good this is (and it’s very good) they’ll never quite match glories of ‘Freak Scene’. Still, if this is anything to go by, it’ll be fun watching them try.
