Dinosaur Jr- FarmWe all know Dino. We all know the hate-hate relationship of J and Lou is what makes/made this band interesting. We all know Bug/You're Living All Over Me are classics.
Getting the original line-up back together was always going to be a GRAND idea, as the albums that didn't feature the original line-up didn't share the same magic; but 2007's Beyond didn't quite match all our Indie-kid wet dreams. It featured too heavily on J's guitar histrionics, rather than focusing on the songs themselves. Farm, however, doesn't suffer from the same problem. Farm shows J at the top of his songwriting game, with 'Pieces' and "I don't want to go there" being up there with his best songs. Two songs from Lou, also show that Dino are back in full force.
They have hardly reinvented their sound, but they have truly reinvigorated it, and I love them as they are, so don't go changing guys...basically, it ticks all your Dino Jr boxes- loud guitars, catchy hooks, moany vocals. Done.
8.2/10
