Another album of Dinosaur Jr's noisy alt-rock that I didn't really warm to. Apparently even lead singer/guitarist Jay Mascis isn't the biggest fan of this one.
This album is another mix of noisy guitar accompanying occasionally melodic vocal. The book makes comparisons to Neil Young, and I guess if you were being particularly imaginative you could go along with that.
It was the last album with the original line-up. Mascis fired bassist/singer/songwriter Lou Barlow after this album and brought the band fully under his control. Barlow went on to form the band Sebadoh where he could get his creative ideas out.
