Biography

There is nothing quite like a Dinosaur Jr. album. The best ones are always recognizable from the first notes. And even though J tries to trip us up by smearing "Don't Pretend You Didn't Know" with keyboards, it's clear from the moment he starts his vocals that this is the one and only Dinosaur Jr., long reigning kings of Amherst, Massachusetts (and anywhere else they ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Still sheer genius 27 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
'Neil Young jamming with Black Flag' as someone once described this album to me. Its been in my collection now for more than 10 years, and gets a play now and then. It still sounds like the first time I ever played it - unique, beautiful, haunting, insane, inspired and just downright out-of-this-world amazing. Dinosaur Jr have a pretty cool body of work, and J Mascis gets a mention now and then as a big influence on a lot of bands, but no guitar trio ever touched the heights of pure melodic noise on this album. The definitive Dinosaur line-up and sound. Listen to 'Raisans' at full blast - its the best guitar break ever recorded and still leaves me speechless every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dinosaur's Best? 29 Mar 2005
By "drewajp"
Format:Audio CD
After years of anticipation for the re-release of this seminal album (it was previously almost impossible to get hold of)I was a bit reluctant to listen to it at first. Numerous great bands have remarked on this album being one of the most inspirational records ever pressed. I always had faith in the strength of this record due to the band's following release 'Bug'. 'Bug' was a really strong record that blended the pure dissonant noise of Sonic Youth (fellow label mates at the time) with frequent moments of Pop-Rock genius. So, how did I find 'You're Living All Over Me'?

In a word, brilliant. I was not dissapointed with this record. It certainly sounds very different from anything else I've heard from Dinosaur Jr. It doesn't really have the ear friendly pop elements of 'Bug' to such an extent and it doesn't have the more commercial buzz of the later Geffen releases. The fundamental aspect of this record is its' chaotic structure blended with really articulate riffs. The album fuses many genres, notably Rock, Metal, Folk/Country, Punk.

I think the most exciting aspect of this record is the way you can notice Dinosaur Jr's influence on bands to come. The most shining example I can think of is definately implicit in the first track, the phenomenal 'Little Fury Things'. When the track begins with Mascis' ear blasting screaming and the heavy, screaching riff you don't really know what to expect. However, the song sinks into a beautiful chord progression that yells My Bloody Valentine. From this it's easy to see the effect this record had on the likes of Ride and My Bloody Valentine. It's also evident to see the influence on Kurt Cobain. The brilliantly poppy 'In a Jar' not only indicates what direction the band would take with their next release 'Bug', it also hints at the way Kurt Cobain would use alternative rock as a way of expressing poppy hooks to great effects.

The only other thing I can really say about this album is the musicianship. J. Mascis is on top form as always with his giant guitar solos and great riffing. the other guy to look at in this band is Lou Barlow. Barlow was ultimately kicked out of the band but it's hard not to notice the great input he had. His bass playing in this record is fantastic and he also shows signs of what he would achieve with Sebadoh, Folk Implosion and his solo work.

In a nutshell, great record! Not just for alternative junkies like myself but fofr anyone who likes great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars It ain't no dusty museum piece 30 Jan 2010
By J. Jenkins
Format:Audio CD
Both a defining moment in slacker, 80s indie culture, with it's blend of hardcore punk and mumblecore lyrical sentiment, and a virtual blueprint for the Seattle grunge scene; You're Living All Over Me is one of those records that is constantly cited as 'influencial' almost over and above 'totally rocking.'

But totally rocking it is, as J Mascis and co. borrow liberally from the fundamentals of classic rock: Neil Young soloing, Byrdsian guitar jangle, Black Sabbath sludge; and filter them through the underground's lo-fi aethetic and Mascis' dyspeptic, perpetually heartbroken angst. It's a record that sonds fairly chaotic, walls of feedback and noise underscore entire songs, but it also sounds remarkably precise and constructed, with songs coalescing into a huge hook or chorus just when you think they're on the brink of falling apart.

With song titles like Sludgefeast and Tarpit, this was always going to be a dark, grimy, record. And so it is. At times the band create a thick soup of noise; waves of wah-wah, bass rumble and pounding drumming that are like being submerged in quicksand. Only a lot more fun than that sounds. But the tunes also have a remarkable melodic brightness. The hooks on Little Fury Things, Raisans and Tarpit are immense. Dino's work here has as much in common with the melodicism of bands like the Cure and R.E.M. as noise merchants like Big Black and Sonic Youth.

This album is also particularly loved, I think, because it one of the most distinctly Lou-influenced Dinosaur records, particularly in the case of the proto-Sebadoh Poledo. To be honest, I was at least as happy when J was running the band as a dictatorship, but Barlow's imprint is certainly distinctive here. In any case, this is an awesome record.
