This is one of my all-time favorites. J Mascis lets loose some of the noisiest, out of control guitar melodies you are likely to hear, while Lou and Murph hold down the rock solid rhythm. Nothing too complicated, to be sure, but everything comes together as an alternative rock milestone. The loud-quiet-loud dynamic has been exploited ad nauseum, but this is a crux in Dinosaur's sound. Without the dynamics, how else would you be able to tell that they can blow the fucking doors down without even trying?
It's all here. The classic "Little Fury Things", complete with screams-via Lee Ranaldo, "In a Jar", with it's bass-led verses, and the unbelievably awesome "The Lung". Essentially a guitar solo with pauses for a sole verse, this song is classic by the very definition. Also worthy, "Kracked" and "Sludgefeast", but the whole damn record breathes life, and closes with the very first Sebadoh song, "Poledo"!
