Great, this is probably my favorite Dino jr. record and the only one that stands up to You're Living All Over Me.

Amazing ! I picked up this cd from the library and fell in love, my dad actually saw them in concert ( jealous ) of course I hope they come to Ohio, I saw on their page they have some shows coming up ! I first heard about them from another band.

A solid return. You would be mental to turn your back on this album,
Rael T. gave it a10:
Mascis at his best, back to the great song writing and playing of Bug You're Living All Over Me. Really great!
Paul S. gave it a9:
Well well well! I saw the band here in Australia in '90. Minus Lou. J had Donna (from Black Flag's touring outfit of the time) on bass. They were good. They were very good...the night made me a D Jr fan for life. Slipped in and out of everything after where you been. But this album, and to see it and songs like "Out There" & "Feel The Pain" performed by the original gang (that never made it here "back in the day") Was a blast! Lou B is a bass god. To fill the void beneath J when he skyrockets is a masterful effort. Murph does it all on a minimalist kit. Great album. Lou's songs are a terrific balance and its like having a Sebadoh Dinosaur Jr double play.

I bought this record out of nostalgia, but I can't stop playing it. The songs grow on every listen and the way Mascis lets himself go on the guitar is a joy. Maybe its as good as anything they've done
Mark D gave it a6:
As a massive Dino fan i can only express mild dissapointment with this album. I like "Beyond" but i really wanted to LOVE this album not just like it so i've forced myself to listen to it every day for a week in my car. I just can't get into it though, the songs are nice but forgettable. Ther's nothing on here as catchy as Freak Scene or as raw as Sludgefeast for example and it certainly doesn't compare to "Bug" or "Your Living All Over Me". I seem to be in the minority though and i still worship J Mascis, so hey ho.
