Mr.HankeyMay 4, 2007I didn't expect such a brilliant album but here it is. Beyond is one of the most surpringly consistent efforts of the year with gut-wrenching guitar hooks, beautiful lyrics, and the lo-fi rock sound Dinosaur Jr. is famous for. This may actually be my favorite album of the year, it's just so darn good.

RachaelG.Nov 9, 2007Amazing ! 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.

StevenGMay 2, 2007J. Mascis is my favorite songwriter. This album is way better than I ever could have imagined. Lou Barlow's two songs are also amazing. Call it Sebadoh, Jr. if you want. I call it just plain awesome.

DCyrMay 3, 2007Blows me away. It's like having a couple of beers with long lost friends. The album gets better with every listen. That's why I have to give it top notch. Oh, and PLAY IT LOUD!

CorpoGMay 4, 2007This album is it's own and compares to anything they've done. Best album in years. Can't stop listening to it and can't wait to hear it live.

ChrisN.Jun 21, 2007I 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

RaelT.Jul 17, 2007Mascis at his best, back to the great song writing and playing of Bug You're Living All Over Me. Really great!

LiamNov 22, 2008Great, this is probably my favorite Dino jr. record and the only one that stands up to You're Living All Over Me.

chrisaMay 6, 2007A Classic Dinosaur Jr. Album.... in 2007.

BenjiDMay 31, 2007Exactly what a Dino Jr album should be. Totally unexpected, in a good way, this album is one of my favorites of the year so far. Ok, so the songs are a little repetitive at times. So what? Anyone who's a fan of the band have to pick up this album.

GregorMMay 19, 2007This is the album Dinosaur Jr, and their fans, have been waiting for for years. I don't think any of their albums have been terrible, but this is definately their best in what, 18 or so years? Up there with YLAOM, for sure. Brilliant. Mascis' guitar sounds fantastic, his playing has just improved more and more, and the rhythm is so tight. Best album I've bought in a while.

AndyWMay 3, 2007I want to give this a 10 since they are my favorite band but I have to be at least a little honest. This isn't a perfect record by any means but it's the best thing from J Mascis in at least 10 or 12 years.

RHApr 8, 2007How did they manage this? Much more than a reunion album, a work that tops half of their previous recordings.

PatF!May 15, 2007I'm a slight bit disappointed by how clean the production is, but either way, it's still a killer album. It's nice that these guys still crank out incredible tunes almost twenty years after they disassembled. This is a great album, through and through. It just has a bit less of an edge than I wish it did at times.

GuyHJun 8, 2007Yee haw this rawks! I don't know what more you'd have to say to sell this to people...

PaulWAug 7, 2007A solid return. You would be mental to turn your back on this album,

mikes.May 8, 2007A refreshing album. It is nice to hear a band bring back the 90's era grunge again. It comes across as original because no one is making this music anymore. Songwriting is solid and the cheap, raw production, compliments this true indie band one of the best of the 90's. This kind of group is what indie is all about.

These 50 minutes of music are as cohesive as they are conquering.

Under The RadarWith a sound closer to the Sire output than their SST days, Mascis throws around his best set of songs since Where You Been. [#17, p.84]
-
UrbBeyond doesn't break any new ground, but... it's as refreshing as anything you're likely to hear all year. [May 2007, p.93]
