People dont give this album enough credit. It was the link between the earlier, sonically diverse albums and the later more commercial albums (eg Where You Been). The songs are well put together, standout tracks being Water (one of the best Dino songs ever) and Thumb (excellent use of the flute sound). Just because this album was lighter and had acoustic tracks on it (flying cloud) doesnt make it any less superior to the other albums, but makes it a good introduction to the band and their style.

This choice might be a little contoversial amongst the D.J. loving fraternity, however it needs to be aknowledged as an absolute masterpiece of an album. I am actually listening to their latest release (Farm) at the moment and casting a disparaging eye across the bounty of 5 stars reviews I can't help thinking that it needs to be more choppy and direct a la Green Mind - and the cover of the young girl smerking a tab is better than the Ents imho ! I will re-visit and re-listen to my D.J. collection but I suspect that Geen Mind will retain its position as top of my personal hit list. Fast, energetic and straight to the point - that's what I like.

This album has received quite a lot of hostility from both the press and Dinosaur Jr fans in the past, but I think it is actually a very good album - a collection of solid songs with excellent riffs and melodies. The opener, 'The Wagon', is a classic, being both tuneful and tuneless at the same time, and the whole record has a sense of hope about it. This album doesn't really offer the variety of their earlier efforts such as 'Bug', or the more easily acceptable almost-commercial sound that followed it with albums such as 'Where You Been', but it is sort of unique, fusing elements of both the Barlow and post-Barlow years. For these reasons, it is a recommended addition to any rock fan's collection.

Jealous much?
As much of a classic as you're going to get with Dino Jr. This is the album where they had the polished production that everyone hated so much and which they promptly ejected and... Read more

An appalling record to avoid at all costs
Let's get this straight, I quite like Dinosaur Jr, but this is one of the worst records I've ever heard. It's whining, tuneless and goes no where. Read more

Promising but not there yet
Green Mind is the major label precursor to what many people believe is the quintessential slacker rock album, their 1993 cd Where You Been. Read more
