Reviews (page 6 of 8)
Pretty good.
Dinosaur Jr. layers their songs with feedback and noise but there are strong melodies and catchy riffs underneath all the noise. I enjoyed this album, mostly in the background. The energy is great and I could see myself really liking it with more listens. I was gonna rate this a 3 but then “Don’t” came on and I was blown away by the sheer power and pain of it. Those screamed vocals are intense. Excellent song, really strong album. Bumping it up a rating because I’m starting to see that Dinosaur Jr. are capable of some incredible highs.
Dang I restarted my computer and lost what I wrote! (this has happened like 4x now on this project). Long story short, I have appreciated this band from afar without ever really diving into them. I have some friends who have done a songwriting masterclass/camp with J. Mascis and reported that they learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it, which is cool! I think this record is a solid noisy indie rock release that is also admirably dynamic, and is really approachable for me in that regard. It's not all noisy loudness, and it's not all quiet acoustic and clean guitars. Many of the songs have interesting sections and you can tell there's a lot of the band writing parts together going on, which I appreciate. It's not just J. Mascis coming to them with songs already written and them just playing the backing music, there's a lot of song breaks for the drums / other instruments to shine, and it makes for a handful of cool rock moments. It's a high 3, like a 3.8 for me, enough to round to a 4. My only wish is that I want more pronounced vocal parts, like more hooks or memorable melodies.
It's okay
I enjoyed this a lot more than the other Dinosaur Jr. album. Well until the penultimate song in which case.. no. None of that. But the rest of the album was great indie rock.
I was enjoying the indie-rock part at the beginning, but unfortunately the album quickly devolved as it went on
Bit Bleh, nothing really interesting going on
It was fine. Had some good early alt rock in it, but got a bit too noise for my taste toward the end.
3.5/5
I wasn't minding it until the last few tracks which probably took a star off for me. The grindy-rock whiny vocal thing worked for a bit.
There are some true high points on Bug (Freak Scene, Budge), yet, in spite of it's quite limited play time, I find myself getting impatient while listening. 3.4
The peak of the mountain of "smoking weed out of an apple" music. I don't think there will ever be another record label as cool as early-mid 80s SST.
Gear: Grado Hemp Artwork: 💩 Mix: 💩 Musik: 💩 Wertung: 💩/5
Alt rock Sounds like old Radiohead at parts Varied throughout Did not get bored
Very dissonant. Not for me 2/5
Bridging that gap between sex pistols punk and the American pop punk era of the 90s
Listened Before? N I’m familiar with these guys from their later work in the 90s. This album is similar, but less polished and noisier. I liked it for what it was. Sort of a wall-of-sound approach to alternative music. Good vocals too. Added to Library? N Somgs added to playlist: Freak Scene
Bros bugging
I liked it but I listened to one of their other albums and liked that one a lot more
+: Freak Scene, Let It Ride, Pond Song, Don't, +-: They Always Come, Yeah We Know, Budge, The Post -: No Bones 5,2/10
Really solid noise rock album.
Not offensive, but also not enjoyable. I appreciate the early contributions to grunge, but I definitely won't ever listen to this again
"Don't" was absolutely awful. I actually jolted out of my seat a bit when the screaming started. The rest of the album was okay, and I quite liked "Freak Scene". I'm not a savant of alt-rock, so maybe I just need to broaden my horizons a bit.
Yeah, that's some noise alright.
Not for me
It was okay
p597. 1988. 1 star. Noisy, repetitive and redundant late 80s US indie rock. Each trac sounds the same, and the vocalist has an annoying nasal whine. Not much to like here.
It started off OK then there was one track that was very shouty which nearly made me stop listening. It was alright but personally not my thing 2*
Decent.
I never really got Dinosaur Jr. like a number of my friends did. They have some stuff I enjoy to an extent but I just don't get them overall.
OK FINE. I get it now. Happy Dave and Phil??
I was *really* digging it until the last 2 tracks, so nearly a 4.
"Oooooh. Dinosaur Jr" I thought. I know they're cool, but haven't really ever listened to them. Meh.
I want to love Dinosaur Jr because I love their general sound, but the songwriting on this album just doesn’t do it for me. They never feel cohesive enough to want to listen repeatedly.
Si fanno ascoltare ma non hanno attratto la mia attenzione..
In de basis vind ik dit geluid natuurlijk supervet. Fuzzy gitaren zijn altijd tof. Dat de zanger een (nog) vals(er) zingende Kurt Cobain is, is in dit geval ook geen ramp. Al wordt het gedurende de luistersessie wel wat jammer. Wat het verschil maakt tussen bijvoorbeeld Pixies, Nirvana en dit is dat ik hierbij net iets te weinig liedje krijg voor m'n geld. Qua structuur heeft dit niet de catchyness wat je bij die andere bands wel een beetje terugvind. De teksten en de structuur van couplet/refrein gaan verloren in een zee van geluid. Daardoor maken de liedjes zelf wat minder indruk. Een klein beetje pop in je noiserock is wel zo prettig. Nirvana en Pixies, om ze maar weer als voorbeeld te gebruiken, doen dat beter wat mij betreft. Ik zie dan ook niet echt reden om dit album aan te zetten, ook al was deze misschien eerder. Ik ga voor 3 sterren. Je moet 'm wel na track 8 afzetten, want track 9 gaat over een grens.
Liked some of this. One song was painful to listen to.
Western MA's finest! Freak Scene is possibly my favorite indie rock tune of the late 80's and the rest of the record is pretty good, too. I always appreciated how they were one of the first bands of hardcore kids to take a step in a new direction. They were definitely not a hardcore band but they always had that credibility.
Thanks largely to a friend in college who *really* liked Dinosaur Jr (and Mudhoney and pre-Nevermind Nirvana and others), I've tried many times to get into Dinosaur Jr's garage/wall-of-noise sound, and never really succeeded. Like so many bands of this era, there seems to be more sloppiness than anything else (mixing, singing, instruments), although I'm pretty sure that they played each song more or less the same way each time they performed. I think what bothers me the most (or perhaps is just a sign of my laziness) is that it's nearly impossible to understand the lyrics most of the time, which makes the album a somewhat uninterrupted stream of distortion, barely discernible bass and drums, and muffled singing (I think that's why I enjoyed "Pond Song" a bit more than the others, and *really*, intensely disliked "Don't"). A shame, since this seems to be generally considered their best album (or at least most referenced). But I can definitely see how influential the band was on later alt-rock bands. What always baffles me about my reaction to Dinosaur Jr is that I really enjoy listening to most of what the Meat Puppets have produced, and I'm sure you could make a similar argument about them (except perhaps the wall of noise part). Sorry Dino Jr!
First song's the best, some great guitar and instrumentals throughout but most of the songs aren't that interesting or memorable
I played this album at work once and I had forgotten about the song Don’t. I definitely got some looks when that came on. Yeah, that song does not fit the vibe of the rest of the album. It’s not a bad song, just pretty different from everything else on there. Anyways, obviously I’m a fan of this band/album. I love the dirty guitar sound, and J. Mascus’ quiet almost sweet vocals in juxtaposition to it. Just great all around, no complaints from me.
Influential and an 80s staple for the alt rock specialists. A little too noise rock for my tastes.
Not a huge fan of the noise rock parts of this album, but the more mellow songs (like Keep the Glove) are better to listen to. The album feels a bit all over the place, but I've always struggled to enjoy Dinosaur Jr.
Not a good album, and not a good representation of dinosaur jr or the genre. Begs the question - Who the fuck is making this list? 1/5
Indie Rock from late 80's but it sounds like its from the 90's.
I was born in the wrong generation, and by that I mean I was meant to be driving around on a sultry summer day in 1989, fresh out of undergrad, cranking my window down to smoke a Camel, blasting college rock radio on my way to my new graphic design job, vocalizing fuzzed-out guitar solos and cursing out the old lady in front of me for driving so slow and making me late for my morning meeting. Bug is a close approximation to what that must’ve felt like, though, so I’ll take it.
I understand this isn't technically an emo album, but I'd wager dozens of midwest emo bands had 'Bug' on regular rotation. It's earnest garage rock; not too polished or confrontational. I didn't realize Dinosaur Jr. had been around this long. Highlights: Freak Scene, No Bones, They Always Come, Pond Song
Once through is plenty thank you. Noise rock that lacks tune, melody or really much else. I like a wide range of music but I just can't see the merit in this unless you are 14 and angry at your dad in 1989.
I love Dinosaur Jr. and this is a decent album from them but don't listen to Don't. It's a rough song
interesting album. some songs are good, some might be good, but the vocalist never bothered to learn how to sing in key, and this was their third album, jeez. the noise part are lame as well, its just a wall of distorted guitar feedback with wah-wah effect, and its used way too often. but the shoegazy parts shine thru bright, and are interesting. i probably will come back for some songs in the first half, but last half is a complete write off. YMM
Maybe it's a time capsule. Hasn't aged well. Best listened to in 1988. Much better albums that encompass the time period and sound.
Not feeling it. I didn't make it through the whole album.
Don't know why, but this band has never really clicked with me. I have enjoyed their collaborations with other artists though.
3.7
It's like a grungy Nick Drake, sometimes Placebo Vibes... I like it, good vibes...
Decent mesh of indie/shoegaze-y/metally*/grungy rock, but never quite coheres or builds up to a satisfying point, with the aggressive, abrasive Noiseness being more earshattering than galvanizing. *Or whatever the hell Don’t is. Transition from said song to Keep the Glove is also Beatles-esque, namely reminiscent of the transition from the heavy, abstract, lyrically sparse I Want You (she’s so heavy) to Here’s Comes the Sun.
Pirteä uusi tuttavuus. Ei parilla kuuntelulla vielä suosikkien joukkoon nouse, mutta energistä ja hyväntuulista menoa.
Oudohko kokonaisuus. Välillä kevyttä poprokkia, välillä järjetöntä mölyä. Ei jatkoon
First time listen
Great guitar work. Didn’t love the vocal style. Fun rock indie nonsense.
# 252 : I knew I wasn't going to like this… nothing good about this, not even slightly. have the people that rate something 5 stars actually listened/read/watched what they are rating?
✅✅✅ fun noisy, incredible guitars, j mascis is one of the best guitarists alive
Great album.
Never heard these before but they're definitely worth another listen. Close to a 4, but not quite there. 3.5
The instrumentals are decent but the vocal performance is horrible. A slight plus of the album is how it slowly lures the listener into accepting more and more noise. It starts off quite tame but at the end, it becomes very noisy. 2/5
brother can shred a guitar but can't sing worth a lick
Great album, didn't imagine I would enjoy it as much as I did. All hail the Dinosaur!
I’d love to love this album more. I liked the song Don’t but it seems the hardcore outlier on this album.
WTF is Don't and Keep the Glove? Wow, those ruins an okay, but passable album.
Meh
Another good but not great album.
Was going to give it 3 stars until Don’t came in. Including that on an album drops it at least 1 star.
It's way too noisy. It sounds like a bad bad high school band practicing
Classic dino jr.
Actually really enjoyed this and was pushing a 4 - until that last song lmao yeah
Well that was an unremarkable but acceptable 2 until the final song. Dinosaur Sr I think you should give this kid a hug.
A pretty disappointing follow-up to "You're Living All Over Me". Here, the creaminess is gone, as if all the milk curdled up. The result is basically an extra wooshy mid alt-rock.
Bug certainly has its moments, it's got a good sound, that heavy/dirty style, big on the overdrive with enough in the bridge of most songs to keep it interesting, but the vocals are terrible and effectively make every song sound the same. More refinement and skill gets this a higher 3 or maybe 4 territory, but otherwise it's a low 3 because it could've been so much more.
Didn't much care for this, to be honest. It's very same-y, you can't get much of the vocals because they're pretty weak and overpowered by the drive of everything else. Ends up all blending into one, except towards the end where it goes full noise rock. Not enough variation or anything to give it more than a 2.
Dinosaur Jr. always kicks so much ass. They were so far ahead of the curve. Don’t was the only rough patch on the album and the reason for 4 stars. Everything else was great
Another Dinosaur Jr album, another 5 stars. Freak Scene is just brilliant.
Terrible noisy shit and the singer is way out of tune.
It’s ok
Opening track is decent, the rest is a lot of nosie
I love the indie grunge sound and I love that it truly comes through in their albums. No hyper clean production taking away the mess. Pond Song and of course Freak Scene are standouts. The album REALLY doesn't need "Don't" on there. Especially with how strong an end Keep the Glove is. I enjoy this album but "Without a Sound" is still my favourite.
Really nice noisy album for waiting for my parents to arrive
I ended up liking almost every song on this album except for "Don't" which I thought was too hard rock for my usual taste.
4/5. An actually good dinosaur jr. album, is this possible? Normally the punk devolves to unlistenable grunge but this time, there is actual melody and good vocals, and the lyrics are interesting as well while still maintaining that heavy aesthetic and punk energy. This was a surprisingly enjoyable listen, would recommend. Plus the guitar work was excellent. Best Song: No Bones, Yeah We Know, Don't
Best Song: Freak Scene. By virtue of appearing at the beginning of the album, I had the benefit of having not heard 9 other soundalikes just prior. Worst Song: Pond Song. Channeling a real poor-man's Neil Young on this one. Overall: Boy if that wasn't the same song 10 times in a row. One single flat line of grungy rock. Music for driving through flat topography. Also, what a terrible idea to place a cacophonous, screaming noise track second to last, just to ensure that whatever catharsis might have been on the horizon gets immediately wiped away as we turn to the regularly scheduled programming of happy-go-lucky grunge.
Some great late 80s alternative rock action here. I like the music more than the vocals with Dinosaur Jr, but the album is really good overall. Very heavy, but with well-written songs 4/5
I have a friend who, regardless of what song is playing, will say, "This is somebody's favorite song." Well, I'm certain that Bug is somebody's favorite album. It's not my favorite album; but I tried.
Two songs into this album and there is no compelling reason to justify why it is on the list of 1001 albums one must listen to before they die. They sound like an average band at best; nothing new or ambitious musically or lyrically. Sorry, I really do try to be generous and open-minded but guitar distortion is something that has a place but should not be the only sound...
Wouldn’t mind seeing them live in a bar, otherwise underwhelming
Started mid but finished worse. Didn’t really enjoy, 2/5
Some background music is pleasant and enjoyable as you listen. This is not. I am just waiting for it to be over. NO. F
i probably made a bit of a mistake listening to youre living all over me before this because that album is better. bug is still a solid follow-up, just a step down. it relies less on memorable hooks (a difficult songwriting strategy to consistently pull off) in favor of more even songs with some jams in it. similar to YLAOM, i enjoyed the final track the least but the other 8 are all songs id be happy to have come on in a shuffle. there's nothing as memorable as in a jar or the lung but there are still solid vocal and guitar melodies through out and like i said before, this is a very even listen until don't, none of the songs stand out much for better or for worse.
Interesting
Wow! I’ve never heard of this band before but this was so good! Very sonic youth vibes, lead singer was giving a bit of thom yorke pablo honey Standouts: pond song, freak scene and let it ride
4/5 - I enjoyed this a lot, this sounds way ahead of its time Was nice to hear what else was going on in late 80s/early 90s when grunge was taking over Standout tracks: - No bones 4/5 - Yeah we know 5/5 (listened to this 2-3 times) - Don't 0/5 hurt my ears literally, had to skip - Keep the glove 1/5 it's like they got bored during the last two songs and decided to stop being good
Really enjoyed the first and last tracks. Liked most of the others. Hated track 9 so much I almost turned it off.
Liked about half of this — e.g., Freak Scene, Yeah We Know, Keep the Glove. The rest was meh.
Great album. Silver Springs should have made the cut, amazing song.
This has some good songs on it and really great guitar work/solos, but it’s not consistent enough to warrant a 4 from me. The quality definitely took a drop after the first three songs, and I’ve had to skip Don’t every time I’ve listened to it. I do appreciate how 90s it sounds for being an 80s album; I love it when those appear on the list.
This whole album kind of blends together. There’s some crazy guitar which, fittingly, with all of the distortion and layers with the bass, sounds kind of like a bug buzzing. I like Dino jr. but don’t love this album
Bad singing tbh
Worse than "You're Living All Over Me", because this one doesn't quite capture that feeling of sticking my head in a cement mixer. "Freak Scene" is the obvious standout, probably one of the best 80s songs in general. Nothing really comes close to it, but I also wouldn't call any song bad or anything. It's just a pretty solid noise rock album overall. Can't believe some people consider this to be "just noise". Be for real, if Nirvana released this exact same album, you would love every second of it. Strong 3/5.
not my favorite Dinosaur Jr. album, it gets to be a little much at the end for me. Fun fact, I remember my dad hearing me listening to Freak Scene when I was in middle school and he took the CD away from me when he heard the cursing.
I understand that this was influential for bands, particularly punk, that followed - like Nirvana. And overall it was pleasing enough while I worked on a statement of work document. But then there's that track "Don't" which is just unnecessary screaming and shrieking - and when something like that shatters my flow state then you're losing some big points pal.
Hated first two songs and gave up.
Dudes voice is a bit sucky
Rocking indie shreds.
Noise Fav songs: yeah we know ÷\
I love a few Dinosaur Jr songs (none of which are on this album), but I can't help but feel that Bug would have been a lot more palatable if J Mascis could sing. It works on a few songs (again, none of which were on this album) but after a while you get VERY tired of his out-of-tune wail. I think this album would have been a lot higher rated by the community in that case. In the low 3 stars, at least.
The noise rock followup to the landmark You're Living All Over Me, again featuring Mascis's lead guitar and Barlow's groovy basslines (before his departure to Sebadoh). Continuing with their fuzz, this album is more accessible, with catchier melodies and warmer distortion that ties together the tracks. Whereas YLAOM had a lo-fi experimental aesthetic, they sound more mature and in-control. I'm not in love with it as much I am with YLAOM, which I found to be much more charismatic and otherworldly. But I did find something I liked about every track. "Yeah We Know" and "Don't" did go on way longer than they needed to, which only minorly dampened the experience. "Pond Song" and the bonus "Keep the Glove" are the only two that I felt were boring and offered little beyond some cool distortion trick. But for the most part, it's more of what you like from YLAOM, just with less impact. Favorites: Freak Scene, They Always Come, The Post
I've listened to Where You Been before and I liked it enough so going into this album I was expecting to give it a 3 or 4. But I don't know, I guess this was what I needed to listen to today, because I really enjoyed it. It is a lot more noisy than I expected (and I love noise rock). I also think that J Mascis' voice suits this album very well, and it provides a very interesting texture and emotion. The songs are pretty simple, but I think that it works in it's advantage. I absolutely understand why people don't like this album, but I think it is very good.
My favorite from the first era. Melodic, noisy, chaotic, melancholic. It has it all.
I never got the point of noise rock, but it's really the sloppy vocals that killed it for me.
When slacker/NOISY sounds meet good songwriting and a singer with feelings. Great stuff.
Wait, *another* Dinosaur Jr. album? Seriously? I went pretty easy on the last one but now I demand to be impressed if they are going to take up two slots on this list....Nope did not meet my elevated expectations. Started out ok but I found less and less to like as the album wore on.
Nothing remarkable here
first off i wanted to say i feel bad not listening to frank sinatra yesterday but it was not the vibe. this band however, was described as indie rock with the Pixies as peers. so i will be listening Freak Scene - so far, exactly what i feel i was promised. grungy guitar and male voices harmonizing. one music journalist credited this song as inventing the slacker generation. which is wild. love an influential album No Bones - i like the actual music but the vocals here do feel very men whining to me. there isn’t much actual singing in this song anyway. They Always come - once again, i love the band sound here with the guitars and drums and all. i don’t mind the singing or lyrics either, i’m just not sure what the song means! i tried looking it up but inconclusive. i like it tho Yeah We Know - same thoughts as the last song tbh but the drum is more driving. Let It Ride - i like this one but also don’t have much to say. guitar hits! Pond Song - ditto before stuff lol Budge - okay i actually liked this one much more than a lot of the others idk why, younger me would’ve thumbs upped this on my pandora radio The Post - grungy as all hell. i liked it, kind of sounds like nirvana and smashing pumpkins esque which i love Don’t - so different from any song or sound so far. i don’t listen to this stuff normally but i don’t hate it? just is out of place on this album. the lyrics are literally just “why don’t you like me” over and over again Keep The Glove - actually love. fav one on the album i think, summed it up well i’d give this a 3/5 because it wasn’t quite epic enough to get higher :/ even though i can hear the beginnings of many bands i love in this music, the first one to do it doesn’t mean it’s the best yk. i think this formula was perfected by some later bands
From the cover, I want expecting this sound. I like the guitar and the music a lot, but I cannot stand the whiny man voice, he sounds so over his own music. It does sound very modern for being from the 80s.
Strange. Mediocre. Grim. Goth. Unenjoyable.
There's no way around it: J Mascis' vocals have always kind of grated on me when I have heard this band. Yet, I enjoy Dinosaur Jr.'s loud and musically pleasant musicianship. The band sounds tight, and J writes some good indie rock. This album reinforces this opinion for me, especially in songs like No Bones and Yeah We Know. The penultimate song on Bug, "Don't," I mostly skipped through because I "don't" need 5:41 of deliberately unmelodic guitar noise and fuzzed out vocals screaming "Whyyyyy don't you LIIIIIIKE MEEEEEE?!?" repeated over and over again. "Don't" is completely unlike the rest of the album and I can't comprehend why this was recorded and added to a full length, let alone 5:41 worth of a "song." Did their producer say "don't record that" and they did it anyway, hence the name? I get why this album is on the list. But I still won't go out of my way to listen to Dinosaur Jr. after reaching the end of Bug. Interesting Factoids from Wikipedia: *Despite it being a favorite of many Dinosaur Jr. fans, (frontman) J Mascis has said it is his least favorite Dinosaur Jr. album. *It was the last Dinosaur Jr. album with original bassist Lou Barlow until Beyond in 2007. Standout Tracks: Freak Scene, No Bones, Yeah We Know, Budge
Decent shoe-gazey rock album. Not much to it, but what it's got is fab.
Not a fan really but liked it better than You're Living All Over Me.
Not for me.
The entire album sounded like it wasn’t completely finished.
I have heard of Dinosaur JR but have never listened to them before. When this came up I was excited and not sure what I was going to get. I was expecting a Feeder, Green Day and Ash vibe. Thats exactly what I got and its not my bag at all. I found this a noisy and sloppy album. Favourite song: couldnt find one I liked Least favourite song: All of them Album artwork: Meh
Solid album that really sounds ahead of its time. I’m sure other people will get more out of it than I did.
It was ok. I always think Dinosaur Jr is a different genre so am taken aback on first listen.
Not into the droning, wonky-pitched singing or the all-jangle guitar. Could have been saved with songwriting, but it wasn’t.
Don’t know how this made the list. Can hear no talent at all and the singer’s voice really grates after a while. Needs to get to the chemist and buy a decongestant. Hopefully it sounds better nowerdays with auto-tune. Have heard better at my local open mic nights. 0.25/5 23/3/24
Archaic Rock
rockin'. 4 stars.
Some cool riffs here and there, but its not really my thing.
Dino Jr...a band I should probably love that I just don't connect with. This is a below avg. offering from their catalogue as well. 2/5
Noisey '80s rock with some pop sensibilities to make the songs a little more catchy. Reminds me of Sonic Youth with rounded edges in some ways, but not in any disparaging way. I am impressed with the tones that J Mascis manages to get out of his guitar, and how it weaves into the unyielding rock songwriting. This all culminates in a bulldozer of a song for the final track that destroys everything in it's path. Some may be put off by it's relentless wails and feedback, but I find it brings the album to it's natural conclusion.
Good fun punkish alt rock record that’s been in and out of my life several times. Always a welcome listen - more as a whole than individual songs.
I get why Dinosaur Jr. gets the hate they get. They're loud and abrasive...but that's the point. They're a noise rock band, and they deliver on what they promise. And to be honest, among the noise scene, they're some of the most tolerable I've heard, with their music resembling the alternative scene of it's time, just with the knobs turned a little too far to the right. It's more musical than it has to be, a nice mix of raw but fun. There were one or two points where the noise came close to overwhelming me, but it never quite got to that point. I enjoyed it.
Great album. 4 stars
Best een nice album. Lekkere progressieve rock Nirvana stijl. Klopt ook wel in de eind jaren 80 begin jaren 90 stijl. Don't is een knaller hahaha
Guitar, guitar, guitar, yeah! Noise, noise, noise. Okay! I love Dinosaur Jr. when they're on: catchy medolies, cool lyrics, crunchy guitar, etc. But not all of the songs on this album hit. They have better albums. Still, a generous 4/5, especially for "Freak Scene".
I was trying to find a good album out of this, but it was drowned out by just the most awful whiny vocals. "Don't" is one of the worst songs I've heard in my life.
New one to me. Okay album.
Bajo el liderazgo vocal de J Mascis, Dinosaur Jr. nos ofreció en los 80 un poderoso rock alternativo con personalidad propia. "Bug" es el ejemplo perfecto de su ruidosa fusión de "hard rock" y ruidismo avanzado. Pero en él también sobresalen incursiones en el folk-rock, sobre todo en temas como "The Post" y "Keep the Glove", una de las que más me gustan del disco. No obstante, la canción que destaca sobre todas en el disco es la pegadiza "Freak Scene".
5/10 Highlight: Yeah we know
Not really my thing
My bag
Nothing special
I've never gone deep into Dinosaur Jr. Was exposed to You're Living All Over Me in college, and remember enjoying it just fine, but that was the extent. Opens on Freak Scene, which features a deadpan vocalist over some alt-rockness with a super rough mix. Could be intentional, but I think it sort of sounds like shit. Really enjoyed They Always come. Also really enjoying Pond Song and the way they play with tempo. As I get deeper into the heart of this album, the roughness of the mix is growing on me. Actually found The Post to be one of the strongest on here. Sludgy as it may be, it is pretty tight and self contained. Don't is a bit of a surprise. Opens similar to National Anthem (radiohead) and gives way to a warbly echo followed by reverb + feedback + screaming with guitar noodling in the background. Oddly enough, I love this. Makes me think of some Modest Mouse B-sides from when they were actually good. This album was alright, but I can see why I didn't fall into the Dinosaur Jr. vice-grip from the first album of theirs I listened to. While I don't necessarily mind the lo-fi production, I didn't find many tracks to really stand out from the sludgy atmosphere it creates. This is a middling 3 for me. I may or may not ever be back.
Nice album cover! Singer bad! Music is fine! Mixing isn't great! Barely a 3! NEVERMIND I JUST TURNED ON DON'T!
The Wikipedia scared me when it said this was noise rock. Even though I have listened to Dinosaur Jr before, I wasn't sure if in their early years they wanted to sound like Kollaps. Really like the distortion guitar throughout the whole thing it gives it a really raw sound. Started turning into some noise rock at the end and I really hated the song Don't. But minus that song this was a pretty cool album
Really digging this first song. Pretty sick guitar work at the end there. There's a lot of interesting stuff in here but it gets a bit too noise-rockish at some points, especially "Don't." I think the voice throws me off some of these songs. Unfortunate because I love most of the instrumentals. Works sometimes though giving it a solid grunge sound.
punky/alt
3.5 - appropriate fuzz levels, a couple bangers, a couple duds. If I ever got into dino jr. i might feel different.
They are quite raw, but I like that, after a wile it does become a bit draining
The second to last track nearly tanked it to a 1.
Annoying is being nice.
Messy distorted noise.
Cool alt rock a la Pixies.
I've never listen to too much Dinosaur Jr. This is okay but it's not a style that grabs me as much as some. This is far from inexperienced but that's almost a rawness to this that's interesting. The guitar almost gets into a noise style but the vocals are very clean. I think this is worth having in the list. Not my favourite but it's good in its style. Don't and Keep The Glove back to back felt like whiplash.
For the most part I enjoyed this but it took some work and there were some songs I really didn't care for. I'd say Pond Song was my favorite track. I don't think this is required listening. I assume it's here for it's influence on a specific sound that I think later bands did better. I enjoy thier 2021 album Sweep it Into Space
Dinosaur Jr. Is cool. This album is cool. I like guitar rock and this album is just very very good guitar rock.
Dinosaur Jr. is a band I really like in small-to-medium doses. I love the overdriven sound but this whole album in one sitting starts to feel a bit stodgy.
I wasn’t sure if I liked this album, but then “Don’t” came on and that sealed the deal. I didn’t really like it. 4/10
Lets rip the bandaid off, Don't was some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life holy shit. The rest was okay but I do think the sound changed a bit too much throughout the album for my personal tastes. Felt very alt rock at the start then started going more grunge towards the later tracks. 5/10
Skater music to skate to. I really enjoyed the music when the singer wasn’t purposefully singing badly. He has an interesting voice, kind of in the same vein as Smashing Pumpkins but sometimes hit a note so badly it made me cringe. Don’t listen to “Don’t”. Overall there were bits a liked a lot and bits I didn’t like a lot. 6/10
Amazing album!
nope
Lustloses Gitarren-Geschrabbel.
Gefällt mir natürlich.
Classic Dr Jr. Def their best album.
It's all here – the reaching, grasping, blazing solos, the sudden stops from high speed, the bashing drums and romping bass, the uncertainly yearning vocals, the layering of acoustic guitar next lacerating electric, hooks galore and bittersweet, melodies that half make one smile, half break one's heart. Opening cuts are worthy intros. The solo on ""They Always Come"" launches majestically and becomes elegantly restrained, with languid vocals contrasting the driving close-out – an essential Dinosaur moment. The ending solo/riffing on ""Let It Ride"" pure coruscation. "Keep the Glove" and "Pond Song"" are additional highlights. "Don't" very much is, the only track that doesn't work. Is it too much to say that Mascis' voice manifests the entire indie rock ethos – the DIY factor, willingness to be unpretty and non-harmonious, the embrace of the off-beat and rough-edged in the name of authenticity, and of course the inherent and persistent yen to connect, with not a little guilt and worry and regret mixed in? No, one doesn't think so. The initial preference for the later records (Green Mind and after, based on these being when one got involved with D, Jr. and more partying memories with those cuts as soundtrack having accrued) but this is flat-out great, and very might well be their best. And all in a tight sub-:40 package. Nobody better balanced ""chaotic and melodic"" (per editors) than Mascis & Co.
Would have been a 5 if not for the unlistenable emo-screaming in Don't.
Honestly the guitar playing on the album is phenomenal, but was ruinwd for me by the singers voice. At times it is just out of tune and grating, like a drunk me on karaoke night.
Know it, love it. Like a more tender and vulnerable sounding Sonic Youth in a way. Just a warm and lovely listen IMHO.
вайбово, но курсы вокала не помешают
+вайб - уши + динозавры?? алкоальбом: ну балтика 9
альбом? альбом... рок? рок... я хуй знает вообще как это комментировать, но спасибо, что хоть быстро прошло и ты просто типа галочку около "прослушано" в своей голове ставишь. но самый прикол -- у нас будет еще один альбик от этих чечиков
Nothing exciting. Plenty of noise but meh.
Nope
Etwas langsam
Ein ungeschliffener Diamant
An album that feels as though it is teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown throughout its runtime, we start with a song that is rather pleasant, almost noise-pop rather than rock, with an almost dance-y quality to it, like a mid-era Sonic Youth song, yet by the end of the album it feels like the band finally starts to snap, and you get screaming with harsh yet catchy guitars and some great drumming, and it all fits into this package of music that I live for. I love the catchy qualities, the noisy qualities, and all in-between. It does at points start to lose some meaning, becoming music that comes in one ear and out the other, but it is certainly worth your time as a record when you are at your highest and lowest.
The WiFi connection from my computer to the stereo kept dropping, and we dutifully reconnected it each time. Shouldn’t have bothered.
If not for one track (Pond Song) almost accidentally veering toward actual music this album would be complete shit. If a negative score were possible it would get minus one stars.
Never heard of this band before. This album suprised me. It featured songs with multiple elements of rock that worked together surprisingly well.
I had never listened to Dinosaur Jr. before this, but I really like!
Very good hard rock album. The quality of the recording leaves a lot to be desired but i guess 1988 is unforgiving. Still sounds pretty ahead of its time
Never really listened to Dinosaur Jr. but this is an excellent rock album.
2.5.
Love it
Ah le rock
Yeah still not a dino jr fan.
Rough listen. First track is decent but quickly gets worse. Wall of sound. Heavy sustained guitars, proto grunge-ish. Seemingly intentionally alt-rock singing where there's no appreciable melody to the singing. One and done for me
repetitive, unrefined, chaotic
Now I know where all the garage rock and indie bands from the 2000s got their inspiration from.
One of my favorite albums of all time. So happy to see it on the list. Great rock album
This album makes me sigh. As a heavy metal fan I find myself unable to get into this kind of rock music. It's not metal, it's not punk, what is it? "Hard rock"? "Grunge"? "Alternative" (to what)? I feel like maybe I just missed the memo on this style or rock music. To me the noisy instruments' energy clashes with the vocals. My ears just find this mismatched, if that makes sense. So yeah, this one's a thumbs down for me. It can bug off!
Enjoyably noisy indie rock album, with grungy vocals (although predating actual grunge by several years). True confession - I avoided this for ages because I thought that Dinosaur Jr were a novelty kids band or something. Doh.
Love this album and the contrasts from songs like Freak Scene and Don’t
This is a strong album from Dinosaur Jr. displaying everything that makes their sound unique: the noisy guitars in which you can drown, that come in contrast with nonchalant vocals from J Mascis and his insane solos. These guys seems to be totally laid back but they're actually technically quite good, but with no show off, they're just doing it casually. More than 35 years later, it does not sound out-dated.
Mediocre songs and J Mascis sings out of tune. But I like the sound in general.
Perfection.
Annoying! Shut up! Shut up for one hundred years!
Wiinning combo of angry fuzz guitars and lovely pop melodies. There's an agreeable ragged edge to Dinosaur Jr., a real songwriteryness which is why I guess they've endured so long.
okiii. 7/10
ooof, this wasnt for me
Wish they had spread the energy of "Don't" to the rest of the album. Still quite good. 🐞🐞🐞
So boring
i början sattes ett enstjärnigt betyg för albumet. Men när jag fortsatte att lyssna gillade jag varje låt mer och mer. även om det fortfarande var dåligt, fann jag fortfarande mycket trevlig lyssning i albumet. Jag höjde min recension inte med en, utan till och med med två stjärnor, dvs till en trestjärnig recension. bra jobbat dinosaur junior band. vokalisten kunde dock vara mjukare. ok aktualle det är två let it ride
Me gusta el sonido, me gustan las guitarras, pero no hay ninguna canción que me flipe especialmente. 3
Decent head banging rock. Not a huge fan of singers voice
This genre of grunge/noise rock is not enjoyable to me. I think some songs are listenable but majority is more noise than anything. I can listen through it but I would not actively seek it out. 2/5
Freak Scene was everywhere when I was a kid in Sydney in the late 80s early 90s - I like the song, but for some reason never pursued this band. There are some great tracks on this 'No Bones', 'Don't' that'll I'll listen to again
Okay so, this was one of if not the worst things i’ve heard in my life. “Don’t”. don’t even get me started. that took years off my life. I believe an accurate comparison to this is nails on a chalkboard but nails that are so disgustingly long that they keep chopping off. God this was horrible.
I remember this being a bit of a regional hit in 1989 and it has that early 90s indie sound all over it. I don't like it. That's too simple - here's what I didn't like about it then: the vocals. Jesus the vocals. Obviously - J Mascis is awful. Amazingly it's not even that much worse than others in/around that same period - at least on par - that slacker mentality of not quite going for the notes that was deemed "cool" at the time was never gonna hit me and actually turn me off from virtually everything else. I still hate the vocals and it immediately knocks it down to a max of 3 if everything else did work out... ...which it doesn't. Definitely preferential (isn't it all, I suppose) - eh I'll admit to connecting a little bit with *some* of the music. But in trying to pinpoint what specifically.... i'm left with nothing to answer but nostalgia for a simpler time - listening to this definitely brings me back. Which is nice. ish. But if that's 3 of the 4 table legs, it's falling down pretty quickly. Don't love the production, the overly-processed heavy guitar yet somehow a parallel sound that sounds .... thin. The rare excellent song like "No Bones" comes so close but still is just an exercise in frustration - I could almost guarantee I'd like the song if performed completely by a different, tighter, better band. Can't you picture Smashing Pumpkins c1992 (i.e. when they were still decent) doing "They Always Come" - it's messy in a not good way here. Sum: Far more melodic than their obvious followers in Nirvana but it's still not enough to make me want to actively listen again. 4/10 2 stars.
I absolutely despise this album cover. Hideous eyesore. Music should be something I like but I just don’t. It’s a big meh for me.
Ok until "don't" Also boring
Just ok
I gotta say, Bug was quite the wild ride. The album started off as a typical grunge album then got a bit more somber with some songs then Don't came and shocked me because I was absolutely not expecting it to be more metal-adjacent. The multitude of styles did help the album feel fun to listen to even if they could have been executed better in some places. This album gets a 3.5 (adjusted to 4) Best Song: Yeah We Know Worst Song: Pond Song
I never heard of this group and based on what I read before listening didn't think this was going to take long. What a surprise, I really enjoyed it. Each song was unique. The only song I could pass on was "Don't", but even that noisy song had some appeal.
After reading others' reviews, I did not expect to like this album, but I loved it! The only "noise" I heard was "Done". Otherwise loved the upbeat rhythms, early grunge vibe, indie, alternative feel. Glad to be introduced to Dinosaur Jr.
I liked the lo-fi jangly bits but really didn’t care for the distorted noisy bits
Not My music
Not a remarkable album, but I don’t think it’s bad! There are some really nice moments in the guitar parts and the album has a cohesive sound to it. I’m not in love with it, but it’s certainly not as bad as some of the reviews I read made it seem!
Я где-то с неделю откладывал этот альбом и вот я до него добрался. Есть и хардкор запилы, и мелодика и вокал. По обложке не скажешь. Хотя некоторые элементы очень угадываются по обложке -- он весь такой.. сырой, жесткий, гаражный. На троечку пойдёт.
I liked it but I did skip a song so 3
Song: Freak Scene My opinion of this song was a bit of a rollercoaster, but ultimately ended rather low. It's just...nothing special, nothing especially good, and nothing I could see myself returning to. The singer's voice is too monotone for my liking, and while I think some of the background guitar is fine, the lead guitar goes off the rails in the solos. It's just too much. I can appreciate a good rock song, but there's got to be some sort of melody to a solo like that, rather than just a wall of noise. It's not enough to just play loud and aggressive, you also have to play well. More than anything else, that turned me off of this song. What a mess is right.
Got a little scary at the end
Wasn’t feeling this yesterday so I was just going to Let It Ride, but today it made me Budge. It’s actually pretty decent, but Yeah We Know that now.
I love this band. This is one of there best albums too, more straightforward rock than the previous albums but still a lotta noise. So happy to see it on the list.
Fantastic album! Nobody plays guitar like J Mascis. I love a record that can have a melodic indie pop-like tune like Freak Scene and an equally great angry-emo screamer like Don’t.
Noisy indie rock. I'd never gone deep on Dinosaur Jr. I really liked this album.
I really like Dinosaur Jr. and this is one of their best albums. Really good stuff and I was glad to listen to it again!
Decent. Just didn't hold my attention too much. It all pretty much blended together, except "Don't." I liked that one. The only song with some passion behind it.
Dinosaur Jr.'s album Bug, the last featuring original bassist Lou Barlow (until his reunion with J in the 00s) is a captivating journey into alternative rock. Freak Scene emerges as a masterpiece, setting the stage for the iconic guitar solos that define this record. The band's chemistry is evident, and it's intriguing to learn that Lou thinks they were still figuring things out during the recording. If this is them in the process, it's exciting to imagine what they'll create once fully figured out. J Mascis's guitar work is iconic, adding emotional layers to the album. Bug captures a band pushing boundaries and experimenting with their sound, creating a dynamic musical landscape. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 7 STAND OUT TRACK - Freak Scene
A good album, I liked Let It Ride and Budge.
Brings me back to my 90s college days. The angry teenager years. A palatable collection of sounds from the time, the unnecessary screaming near the end of the album takes away any pluses it earned from me. Low 3.
4.1 - I love this proto-grunge sound, especially the scratchy, abrasive guitars on songs like "Budge." "Don't" reminds me of Nirvana at their most sludgy (e.g., "Endless/Nameless"). Given that this record was released in 1988, it feels like these guys were well head of the "alternative" wave, possibly even before Sonic Youth??
The album started with a couple of songs that I didn't like but was ready to lean into the good elements and hoped that it would improve as the album went on. However, that was not to pass, instead, it devolved into incoherent screaming by the end, I did not like this album.
Sounds like the precursor to pop punk. I think highschool me would have loved it. Would have been a solid 4 stars if they hadn't spent the penultimate song screaming at me.
Standard 90s feel, makes me wanna play rock and
Not my favorite Dino Jr. album
9/10. I liked this a lot better than the other Dino Jr album we've had
I'm not sure if this is significantly better than the other Dinosaur Jr. album on this list, or if my music taste has changed in the ~2 years since we got the last one. Maybe now I can see how this fits in temporally between peak Sonic Youth and the ensuing 90s grunge scene. Some of the more out there stuff was a bit grating but overall I enjoyed this. 7/10
Yeah i liked this one, it had some pretty cool riffs on it. That one song near the end was pretty fked up.
Awful
Started off ok, but I found myself really disinterested with ‘Bug’ by the end. I prefer the other Dinosaur Jr. album in the book way more. This just ended up being really mediocre.

This is music I love, the album is a good listen and encompasses the feeling of melancholy as it develops into pure noise by the end.
It's jangly, it's noisy, and overall pretty good.
meh
Sloppy and raw, a lot of fun to listen to.
This was okay.
Consistently sloppy with a particularly abrasive end.
Not a big Dinosaur Jr fan but this one is probably my Favourite
Yesterday I got the Stone Roses. This record is similar. It's a wall of sound with lazy, unconvincing singing. While the Stone Roses are a nice plastered wall, this is rough with bricks sticking out of it, which makes it more interesting to me. Favorite song: No Bones
pretty good, like proto-grunge/indie or something. Not too dated sounding honestly, probably because its mostly just good old guitar/drums/bass for the most part. I can dig it, don't love it or anything but it's good especially for 1988. 3.6.
Encore un comportement odieux de la part du Dinosaur Jr. qui va venir charger et donner des coups de tête à ses proies pour ensuite les achever puis les dévorer. Vraiment inacceptable.
Les dinosaures nous avaient habitué à beaucoup mieux, comme la fois où ils étaient venus dévorer leur proie en fin d'album.
Heck yeah. Dinosaur Jr is great. I saw them at a Lollapalooza in '93 and again in '17 with my son. They've been a favourite for a long time. For me this album is about 4th or 5th best of theirs. But I really like most of their albums. I really like J's solo stuff too.
Rock alternativo, así como indie. Ni fu ni fa.
People are a bit harsh, I mean this was 1988 in the middle of wedges and flares and these guys were doing this kind of thing. I initially hated this band but now realise they're worth exploring.
I really dug this, cracking alt rock album. I know it's 80s but it has that early 90s proto-grunge feel to it. Great stuff
Never heard of this band, but I really liked this project. Freak Scene and They Always Come were my favorites. Feels like this album influenced a ton of 90's alternative artists and has a lot of elements that were used in 2010's pop-punk. Unfortunately the songs fell off in the second half of the album.
Melancholy 90s rock. Thin mastering.
Not my favorite album or group but wasn’t awful listening.
Enjoyed this, musically cool and a cool energy
Fine
Average American pop rock band with a screemo finish
I quite enjoyed this when it started, a bit of happy grunge to sign off the work day. But it did become monotonous by about halfway through. Freak Scene is a great tune, and there were one or two others scattered in there but the rest all became a bit of an audio blur.
Freak Scene is pop perfection. There. Stop the album there and then, five fucking stars. The production throughout Bug is far better than any mainstream shit, past and present. Each instrument is allowed to argue its case, without battling one another. The guitar chops and digs away. J Mascis' vocals are tender, yet still crash down on you with a tirade. The fucked up attitude is the appeal. There's actually some real clever melodies here. Adorable.
This one was GREAT!!! Added.
Its hard to put into words what I love so much about Dinosaur Jr. They come across as unpretentious folks just making the music they want to. This isn't my favorite Dinosaur Jr. album, but this was such a delight to listen to this morning.
Not a bad album, not great. 2.5/5
The musicians on this album play well. The singer can suck a bag of dicks.
It's hard to praise an album like this enough, it's such a foundational work. And it's one that continues to fly under radar all these years after it came out. Let me tell you though, nothing really sounded like this in 1988. Tons of bands tried to sound like Dinosaur Jr. in the following decade, most falling far short. Even today the album sounds as vital and powerful as it did the day it came out. As an album, every song here is perfectly placed. The flow from song to song feels effortless. It's frequently rowdy and occasionally blow your speakers out blistering. It's sometimes pleasantly melodic. But every note and bit of dissonance seems purposeful, strategic. Every moment of it is riveting. That's a skill few artists possess. Fave Songs: Freak Scene, No Bones, Yeah We Know, Pond Song, Budge, They Always Come
Forts bonnes guitares saturées sur la chanson d'intro ; et sur le reste de l'album. Ça m'a fait penser à du Sonic Youth.
Solid noise rock. 2.8
Yeah this was a weird listen I found myself really hating it at moments wishing the album was over then brief moments that I really liked but then back to hating and that would happen on the same songs. The album felt like it was a parody of a genre or something. I was t a big fan but I did really like “don’t” that was a surprise had to turn my headphones down but I think I just loved that it was so different from the rest of the album. -B (ug)
I really didn’t understand why this album was on here. I had never heard of this band before and I think it’s because they don’t offer anything new. The mixing on this album is terrible, I hear the singer and then distorted noise. I had to look up this band to see what I was missing, and apparently it said that they are responsible for “bringing back lead guitar.” Which is crazy because this album lacked instrumental separation and I couldn’t hear any sort of leading instrument. This album had nothing new to offer and not a single song that stood out.
didn't enjoy this, it just sounded like noise to me
Cynically I'll say, if you've heard one Dinosaur Jr song you've heard them all. Which means if you like their sound it's a gold mine. Unfortunately I don't really, though I did enjoy some of the wilder, noisier stuff toward the end of the album.
Though 2 Dinosaur Jr. Albums on the list might be 1 too many, it's hard to choose which one is the best, and this is as good a candidate as any. They have such a consistent sound through the years. I can see how people might be turned off by J. Mascis' voice, but I find it endearing and vulnerable. The use of guitar texture, distortion, and feedback throughout the record is simply amazing. So 3 dimensional you might need to adjust your graphic equalizer. I'd love to see a list of the pedals they used for each song, along with the usual instrumentation info. "Don't" is a bit jarring though, and honestly breaks the spell for me, enough so to bring it down from 5 stars to 4. Otherwise, Dinosaur Jr. have a special knack for making alienation and depression sound almost glorious, sometimes even downright jolly. This is their third album from '88! Dinosaur Jr. deserve alot more credit as forefathers of the alternative and indie rock that came in their footsteps.
I like Dinosaur Jr. in general, but I think I’m more of a fan of “You’re Living All Over Me” more, still good though.

Not my bag
They Always Come is a mess. I'm quite impressed that the vocals and guitar are permanently out of sync when they're performed by the same person. I'm getting bored and irritated now. That sludgy sound needs some refinement. Or just an off button.
Grrrr jjjjjggggghhhh grrrrrrnnnnnngggg with a dude mumbling over it
Was okay
A ok album, you can see the sprouts of grudge and indie both in this, a little too undercooked for my liking
i'm sure we've already had a dinosaur jr album. no idea how they could have two. some good, some bad.
Big
Muy chulo.
“Freak Scene” is one of my all-time favorite songs. I love J’s guitar playing.
