Another in a recent slew of bands shooting for longevity,
Dinosaur Jr. had a bumpy path to rejuvenation, breaking up in the late nineties and staying that way for almost a decade. But there is something about the chemistry of these three;
J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and
Murph mesh in the same way on Beyond as they did in the eighties, and follow-up
Farm is proof it wasn't just a coincidence last time around. Solid songwriting and dreamy riff rock pulsates, as Mascis sings with the vigor of a twenty year old (hint: he is not twenty). The best part: Dinosaur Jr.'s influence is irrelevant in evaluating their new release. It's a stand-alone success.
