You're Living All Over Me is the second studio album by American alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr. It was released on December 14, 1987, through SST Records. A refinement of the formula introduced on the band's debut album Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me features drawling vocals paired with loud guitars and driving rhythms. The album was well-reviewed upon release, and is now regarded as a high point of American rock in the 1980s.

Do people like this band unironically?
Sounds terrible
Is it perfect? No. Does it try to be? No. Does it hit you like a wall of crushing bricks, with great melodies buried behind the Marshall stacks? YES. Perfect imperfection.
I was in a band on e with some guys who were really into D.Jr. and that band suffered from the same issues as D.Jr. does which is that, while the musicality and technical skill are quite impressive, the overall effect is less than enjoyable. In fact, after a few tracks, I found myself just exhausted from following along. There's too much going on, too many time changes and mismatched parts. Again, it's really impressive from a musical standpoint once you stop and pay attention but that same action will leave you just worn out. It's just not an very enjoyable experience.
Amazing album. You can hear the influence on so many diverse genres from shoegaze to grunge. All bangers too and Poledo is such a wild closer.
This is exactly why i love this site. Didnt even know this Album existed. Never heard of the Band before. But holy hell this albums rocks from the moment you press play. Vocals are a little weak , yes, but the instrumental part of this album is absolutely amazing. 5 / 5
Noisy, thoughtful, and full of energy, this album hits a perfect sweet spot for me. The guitars in particular were so damn good. Looks like I have a new band to dive into.
Another I'm familiar with, every track's been on my playlist at one point or another. Kinda burnt myself out on this album but i still appreciate the songwriting and shit
Not quite sure where to go with this one. I was looming forward to it, and ended up quite disappointed. Very little variety in structure, tone, chord progression, etc. The singer apparently hasn't found a note he can't sing flat. The lead guitarist doesn't seem interested in keeping his instrument in tune. But, you can still see why some will think highly of them. It's only Poledo, the second to last song on the album that brings something new to the table, but it's too little too late. And then just Like Heaven really highlights the defincies in their songwriting.
This album sounds like sewer sludge. In a good way, of course. I don't know why my brain enjoys when the audio quality sounds like total shit. Helen Keller on the mixing serving up straight fire đ„ 5/5 and I will not elaborate further.
For me, this album is easily in the top 10 electric guitar album of all time. The mix of super harsh guitar noise with super melodic passages really showcases the full range of the electric guitar. The solos are awesome and badass and most songs sound fierce and very cool. The guitar also feel so effortlessly played. J Mascis is so freakin' nice man. The only downside is the last song, Poledo, which I find boring and useless in the track list. AWESOME 9,5/10
Loud, noisy, crazy, but absolutely excellent. It's raw and unclean and perfectly unashamed about this fact. To me the first half of the album is the strongest, but it was still excellent all the way through. I really liked this a lot and will come back to it. Favourite: Sludgefeast
Fabulous. Melodic noisy rock, actually tuneful and tasteful. Love it
In the late 80s, when I was a teenager, Tim and I were pretty inseparable. We used to hang out a lot in our suburban bedrooms listening to music and occasionally going out to see all-ages punk and hardcore shows. Tim was a skateboarder, but I was never sufficiently coordinated or brave to learn. Tim once told me that he suspected he was listening to too much metal and hardcore when he heard Dinosaur Jr's cover of 'Just Like Heaven' on the radio and thought it was the Cure (at least until the huge roar comes in at the end of the song). He did buy a copy of this album as a result (probably in 1988) and we played it a lot, even though it turned out that 'Just Like Heaven' wasn't on the original album release. After we left school, I started at uni (unsuccessfully) and working at a record store. Tim, after an initial stint working IT helpdesk at the futures exchange, ended up at the studio manager of 2SER student radio at Macquarie University. We formed a band together and started seeing a lot of live shows. Neither of us was doing well on the girlfriend front, so we had a lot of time for music. I know we saw Dinosaur Jr on their 1989 Australian tour. My memory was that was in the student bar at Macquarie Uni, but I can't see a record of them ever playing there. More likely it was at the Lansdowne Hotel (a regular haunt of ours) or the Paddington RSL. I do remember that they were loud as fuck and J Mascis didn't seem overwhelmed to be there. Being young at the time, I don't think I realized how revolutionary this album was. It was one of the first proto-grunge records and was clearly highly influential on shoegaze, especially the way J. leaned on that wah pedal, using it as a broad filter rather than an expression effect like Jimi Hendrix. I copied that particularly trick myself int eh terrible band I played in during the 90s. And I was seeing a lot of really noisy alternative Australian bands (including a foray into the Evil Star Hotel scene of Black Eye Records bands; Lubricated Goat, Munroe's Fur, Kiss My Poodle's Donkey, Box the Jesuit, Thug, etc), so the heavy noise factor didn't seem that unusual to me. It was a pretty good record that we played a fair bit, and Tim and I thought it was kinda normal. You're Living All Over Me wasn't one of my all time favourite records, mostly because J. Mascis' laconic deadpan drawl is kind of annoying. But there are a few really great songs on here (Little Fury Things, Sludgefest, In a Jar), and even better if you get the re-issue that has Just Like Heaven on it. Totally worth a listen.
This is actually very good. I saw them live a few months ago (being one of the openers for Weezer) and it was my least favorite of the three bands that were there, but it was still pretty good, and the stacked amps were unique (they only played the first song from this album, by the way). That being said, I much prefer their studio stuff. This has the same energy without being too loud to get more melodies, and I overall prefer the vibes this album gives me. And yeah, I have Bug as a 3, but I had a bad headache that day so I was probably misjudging it.
Only heard a handful of the tracks off this one before. It has the energy of going to see a local band you've heard about or know somebody in, and you're maybe a little apprehensive, but then the show rules, just absolutely rules. Later Dinosaur Jr. is catchier, this has more wild spirit. Rating is relative to this list and for being from 1987. Would probably not be a 5 on the list of underground albums to hear before you die, but it is here. music: appreciated. (ââ _â )
Fuck yeah. I could listen to this entire album with just the instrumentals and be very happy still. They play hopscotch with punk and alternative, and that will always make me happy. Favorite track: In a Jar
It's like the Rosetta Stone for MBV and Nirvana in some ways. Wow.
Really powerful noise with rock solid guitar work. I think I like this general sound all the way.
Big nostalgia blast for me, though they weren't in the first rank for me at the time.
I know of these guys but I've never actually listened to them. Indie darlings AFAIK. Baseline 3/5. Ok, I was NOT expecting this to rule. haha. It starts out sounding like my bloody valentine-type shoegaze-y pus, then from "sludgefeast" (best track by far) onwards it fucken smokes. Big fuzzy guitars, thick tones, drummer not afraid to venture beyond the snare, songwriting a fun mix of indie and doomy rock. It's also satisfying in a cynical way to hear an OG indie band so obviously influenced by old school heavy metal when so many latter-day indie/alternative bands (who ripped these guys off) wouldn't be seen dead listening to metal, lol. Buuuuut, two things hold this album back: the track ordering is dumb (the first 2 songs are a *fucking* slow start), and old mate *really* can't sing. Thankfully he doesn't try to much either, but still. Wouldn't have hurt to get someone on the level of whoever sang for the Lemonheads, or soul asylum etc. Fuck, Mark Lanegan could've made this amazing. That being said, it's good enough otherwise anyway to get a 4/5.
Pretty simple 90s rock. There are some good instrumentals at times and the songs flow well, but there isn't really anything too notable or mind-blowing.
Nr. 37/1001 Little Fury Things 5/5 Kracked 4/5 Sludgefest 3/5 The Lung 4/5 Raisans 3/5 Tarpit 3/5 In a Jar 3/5 Lose 3/5 Poledo 1/5 Just Like Heaven 3/5 Average: 3,2 Started out great, but fell off towards the end for me. Wtf is Poledo
not my cup of tea. OK music, but the vocals are screaming and everything sounds repetitive
I really shouldn't be surprised there's more than one of these on here. What a dreadful list.
So I never owned any Dinosaur Jr music â nor have I ever listened to them, at least knowingly⊠As a rock guy, I really appreciated their sound â kinda like an excellent garage band⊠Not a big fan of the âlo-fiâ movement, so if thatâs what they were going for, or this was really just a sub-par recording effort, the audio quality was sorely lacking⊠Nothing was sharp, and a good portion of the album was pretty muddled IMO⊠That said, I did enjoy a couple of tracks, as the album started out pretty strong, but about 5 tracks in, it definitely started to lose some steam⊠Best tracks IMO were âLittle Fury Thingsâ & âSludgefeastâ â though there were moments of musical goodness throughout the first 6 tracks⊠Vocally, I thought the dude sounded like a much weaker version of Adam Duritz of âCounting Crowsâ â but his voice definitely suits the music for sure⊠Not much diversity in the sound until the slower pace of the 6th track âTarpitâ â so a little variety in tempo would have helped no doubt⊠After that, itâs like they ran out of material⊠âIn A Jarâ was pretty weak, and I have NO idea what they were doing with âLoseâ & âPolidoâ â as they were so disappointing compared to the earlier parts of the album⊠Also didnât think I needed to hear a pretty pedestrian version of The Cureâs âJust Like Heavenâ to close the album⊠All in all, Iâm glad I listened â as this is in my wheelhouse, however the audio quality, combined with the fact that it got weaker the longer it went on â and finished in such dreadful fashion, I canât give it more than a 2âŠ
Nope.
Ni una canciĂłn entera. Too much
Nirvana sr.
yes
- Bin grad bisschen geflashed und fands meeega interessant - Kannte Dinosaur Jr. nur vom Namen und wusste, dass die innerhalb der Alternative Szene als ziemlich einflussreich wahrgenommen werden. Ich verstehe jetzt warum. Die wirken sehr ahead of their Time. Wir reden hier von Mitte der 80er - die Songs könnten aber definitiv auch auf etlichen Alben der einschlĂ€gigen 90s Bands kommen. - Ehrlich gesagt klingen die wie die lo-fi Version der ersten Foo Fighters Platten. - Das ist auch mein gröĂtes Dilemma mit der Platte. Ich finde dieser Lof-Fi Sound ist zum einen irgendwie charmant und auf jeden Fall ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal und ich mag sowas besonderes. Und ja, es ist schlieĂlich auch Noiserock. Auf der anderen Seite denke ich mir: OMG wie guuuut wĂ€ren die Songs in hoher AudioqualitĂ€t und habe den Drang mein Kopfhörerkabel zu checken oder zu gucken, ob das AUX-Kabel richtig steckt... - HĂ€tte es nicht diesen starken Lo-Fi Charakter, könnte es eine B-Seite vom Selftitled Foo Fighters Album sein. Und ich liiiiieeeeebe dieses Album ĂŒber alles. Da wird Dave sicher eine ganze Menge seiner Inspiration hergezogen haben. U.a. haben auch Kurt Kobain, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Mudhoney und andere Dinosaur Jr. als groĂen Einfluss angefĂŒhrt. - Wunderschöne Riffs, schöne Gesangsmelodien (wenn auch oft schief, aber stört mich hier null, ist roh), treibende Drums. - Finde fast jeden Song geil - Ich finde die ganzen Artworks von denen riiichtig geil!! Hat einfach was sehr eigenes. - FĂŒhlt sich auf jeden Fall an wie ein richtig geiler Geheimtipp. So eine Band, wo man sich als Nerd in der Szene ein Shirt holen könnte. - Die Hi-Fi Version (so sehr sie sicher an Charakter verloren hĂ€tte), hĂ€tte ggf. eine 5/5 von mir bekommen. Bin ob der Pionierleistung beeindruckt, kenne einfach stilistisch nichts aus der Zeit, was so klingt - und ich meine wie gesagt nicht den Noise-Part, sondern Melodien, Drive, Riffs, Style. Die waren ihrer Zeit echt einige Jahre voraus. - Dann noch ein The Cure Cover als kleine Kirsche auf der Torte. Bam. HĂ€ppy. Rating: 4,5/5
A quintessential garage band, Dinosaur Jr is a little heavier than I expected them to be, only knowing Feel the Pain before this. The music takes many unexpected turns that make this album standout amongst so many similar albums that I've been given and I like it significantly more for that. My favorite is by far SludgeFeast, this song rocked. The whiney chorus sandwhiches an awesome solo and bridge that might be one of my favorite in this whole list so far. I was thinking of giving this 4 stars, but listening to SludgeFeast again while writing this is going to bump it up.
This album was a blueprint for what was to come in the '90s. Not all groundbreaking records are truly amazing, but this one absolutely is. I just love it!
Love J. Marcus melodic riffs / grungy / fuzzy wah wah guitar and plaintive vocals. Just Like Heaven cover is perfect.
Another great album from Dinosaur Jr
Deserves to be played as loud as you can stand. And enjoy every minute of the noise. Great album
This was great. Honestly hard to believe this is from late 80s
Yes! I love this album. Probably in my top 10 of all time.

I just love it so much Dino Jr. 4eva âđ»
never knew about this, but it was awesome!
One of my favourite albums, sludgy petty noises.
Like an undiscovered Nirvana album. Where was this my whole life?
No where to collapse the lung Breathes a doubt in everyone
Very noisy, very energetic. Setting the blueprint for other influential bands that followed
Fun!
Dinosaurier Jr
I was obsessed with Dinosaur Jr. - when I was pregnant I went to see them and I knew every word- they meant so much to me - I was coming of age during the time before Nirvana and loved all the American hardcore bands - then got into the Pixies and stuff - I canât stand the Pixies now- it sounds so contrived and I hate the lyrics but Iâll never stop loving Dinosaur Jr
A banger of an album, notwithstanding the slightly unneccesary cover of Cure perfection at the end.
This was honestly better than I thought Iâd be. Kinda wanna give it a 5. Fuck it.
J Mascis is a guitar god. Love the noise on this record too. Also gotta love those abrupt endings and the funny cover of Just Like Heaven. Great fucking album
Dinosaur Jr. is one of those bands I never paid much attention to until the last few years. For some reason, I always thought they sounded much different than what I discovered once I finally gave them a chance. When I started listening, I was shocked by all the distortion and feedback that define their trademark sound, and the raw punk energy in some of their tracks really caught me off guard. Overall, their format features melodic, prominent bass lines with a wall of distorted feedback and noise layered on top, giving it a raw and gritty edge. Despite this, I also view Dinosaur Jr. as a good beginnerâs guide to noise rock. Even though theyâre raw, noisy, gritty, and filled with feedback, they balance it out with an element of refinement.
Wow. The only song I had heard in the 90s was âFeel the Painâ so I hadnât heard their other material. I instantly connected to this anlbum after the first three. The group vocals on track 1 were a nice feel, the fuzz guitar on Kracked was SO good. Theyâre fantastic at the fuzz. The noise at the end on Tarpit, the exploding solo on Kracked at 1ish.
Lol whoa, is that really how Just Like Heaven ends?? Just learned this wasn't a The Cure song! Loved this album. I'd only ever heard Kracked prior from a Toy Machine video. I was born in 1987. Getting lost in a daydream of what life would be like if my folks were Dino Jr fans
The only thing I hate about this album is how late it arrived in my life. It is perfect. Can you imagine listening to it when it was released around the late 80s? You'd be the coolest person in your city.
It's like being smothered by a blanket made of psychedelic concrete. I think my love for this album is multifaceted. Without this, we don't get My Bloody Valentine and shoegaze. We don't get a band like Nirvana, and most of the nineties more than likely. It's also just... beautifully noisy. It sounds so loose, but every note feels like it is where it needs to be. Bite me. I've seen Dinosaur Jr. before and enjoyed them, but man, maybe I should've just listened to them before. Favorite tracks: "Sludgefeast", "Tarpit"
Grunge at its finest.
Never saw the appeal here as a mid 90s teen. Amazing how prospective changes. I'm a big noise rock fan now and this is nothing less than a seminal entry in to grunge catalog. This is super melodic and filthy at the same time.
When I heard this album all those years back, I couldn't do too much with it (that voice!) and it started to feel a bit boring after the 4th song. So where I followed bands like The Melvins, this band never stayed really with me. But I'm glad I now gave it a second listen. And then a third. And at the time of writing this, now my fifth. And I'm completely converted. The lo-fi wall of rock noise jumps straight into your living room, the unpolished but virtuoso solos are making you sit up and an immense creativity in the songwriting just adds to it. Even the voice adds to the sound. What a landmark in rock history!
I managed to miss this band because my weird brain had somehow merged them with Jurassic 5 (I guess there is a prehistoric theme going on there...). When I read 'Dinosaur Jr', my brain instantly gave me "playground tactics, no rabbit in a hat tricks..." So quite surprised to put on the album and hear noise rock rather than hip hop! A good surprise though - I listened to it three times in a row and will definitely check out their other stuff.
Great album. Used to listen to Dinosaur Jr way back when but never had this album - feel like going back in time to tell myself to fuck whatever else I was listening at that point and to go and buy this album
"You're Living All Over Me" is the second srudio album by American alternative band Dinosaur Jr. A good description of the music is "drawling vocals with loud guitars and driving rhythms." Critics have hailed this album as a high point in American rock at this time connecting 80's alternative rock to the grunge and shoegazes genres. The band is J Mascis (guitars, vocals), Lou Barlow (bass, vocals) and Murph (drums). A wha-wah swirling and fuzzy guitar open "Little Fury Things." Echoes screams sounding like they're underwater. The song's meaning is blurry but maybe about a stalker. On "Sludgefeast," J Mascis layers his distorted, feedback infested guitars. Deep bass and drums. You couldn't get this from the title but he's trying to connect with a girl. "The Lung" was the first Dinosaur Jr. song I heard. It sounds great. A bass start, melodic guitars and then it takes off fast. Various guitar solos and breaks. I have no idea what this is about. "In a Jar" has a quick drum opening. The bass and rhythm guitar carrying the melody. Interesting lyrics as it tells the relationship of a pet and human from the pet's perspective. The last song "Poledo" has Lou Barlow on lead vocals and the ukulele. There's handclaps and the song breaks down midway through and we get 2 1/2 minutes of feedback and weird noises. Maybe, it's their attempt at pyschedelia. This album is lo-fi, slacker and raw and I love it. Mascis' guitar takes off at just about any time. He uses lots of feedback and distortion: hence, the influence on shoegaze. I know I mentioned this on the "Bug" review but Barlow and Murph are more than able to keep up with Mascis and sometimes steal the song. A hard call, but definitely up near the top of Dinosaur Jr.'s catalog.
Love love love. See my thoughts on the last Dino Jr record we did. Wow can you imagine if we get even more Dino Jr on this list? What a treat.
Mmmmm... wooshy guitars. Mmmmmm lofi recordings. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the most delicious type of noise.
Fun pick
You can hear grunge being born on this album. Amazing.
Noisy in a good way. The Pixies and The Beavis Frond come to mind. This is the first album so far in this list I've listened to more than once. The cover of Just Like Heaven might be my favorite version of the song I've ever heard.
Dinosaur Jr.'s 2nd album is perhaps the best album of the. Even better than the upcoming brilliant 'Bug' it still is one of the best albums of the late 80s. Simply a beauty after all these years.
Know it
Little Fury Things is worth a five on its own. The blueprint of all good rock of the last three decades. Admittedly I seldom listen to the whole thing, but the opening five tracks are top damn notch
This is everything I like in rock music in a neat little package. Itâs loud itâs noisy itâs melodic & itâs not afraid to get experimental. This album will always be a favorite of mine
Sensational album. I've been aware of Dinosaur Jr. for a long time, even catching a bit of their set at Download Festival many years ago, but I've never actually sat down and listened to their stuff. Turns out it's excellent. Who knew?
Wow, just immediately floors me every time. everything on this record is insane from minute one, going from gorgeous proto-shoegaze to hardcore punk (that drumming!). only down spot is poledo, but ive come to like it over time. love this album.
I'm a little obsessed with this one. Very Nirvana
This album is fantastic. Loved every minute of it. I've known about Dinosuar Jr for a long time but never gave them a proper listen, that was a mistake.
Incredible experience. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been to hear these guys live in 1987 back when this album was new.
Love J
One of the GOATs
Hell yeah Dinosaur Jr. Fantastic indie shit
Enjoyed this one. Heavy guitar distortion and messy sound. Sounds like it could be a lot more recent than 1987, showing how influential their music was in indie/rock scene. Reminds me of early Biffy Clyro which I love. Highlight was Little Fury Things + bonus points for the Just Like Heaven cover.
Perfect blend of noise with enough hooks to get you through.
Dinosaur Jr are incredible. Elements of so much stuff I like is present here. I only know a few of their songs really but they're so good. This is a great listen. Just as with Sebadoh I'm going to have to give this and Bug several more listens.
Love the rawness, this will grow on me over time. Wish I ran across this back when I graduated high school.
An eternal banger
When you've been listening to an album for years that has shaped your taste in indie rock, how do you give an accurate review? I saw Dinosaur Jr live in late 2021. In preparation, I listened to all their major and recent albums. And as consistent as they are in their discography, nothing could top this game-changer. Every track here has had an impact on me, and I can still sing along to J's whiny voice on half of these songs. These songs rock hard, with a lo-fi grungy guitar that takes the forefront, unlike most other forms of rock at the time, and their experimental use of the lead guitar would influence later indie rock. It's melodic and complex, with songs going through many stages. I can name 10 memorable moments from many of these songs to the point where I always have something to look forward to on every repeat. Even the least memorable track "Lose" is still a fun and wild track with an incredible chorus near the end. The whole album is a wild experience. Just listen to how they transition between songs like "Kracked" to "Sludgefeast." They give you no time at all, and several of them are like like this, getting straight to the action with a memorable noisy hook. It's one of those albums that comes off as abrasive but after listening to it many times, you can pick out all the channels and it becomes dreamy and calming. Kevin Shields took a lot of inspiration in the development of shoegaze, and you can hear it in many songs like "Tarpit." Would I kill to hear a full version of "Just Like Heaven"? Yes, but also it's hilarious they also do the abrupt stop to close their concerts.
Can't beat that review that says that this LP is "like the Rosetta Stone for MBV and Nirvana in some ways". Of course, Jay Mascis' voice is downright terrible at times (his singing got better in subsequent releases, fortunately). But the guitar work is just so fascinating and extreme, and both are part of that formula that pointed the way towards the spontaneity of "alternative" nineties as a welcome reaction to the all-too glossy aesthetics of eighties. And this, three years before said nineties even started. Besides, I feel that there are not too many albums from 1987 that truly deserve a 5-star grade for their artistic accomplishments. There are Sonic Youth's *Sister*, Depeche Mode' *Music For The Masses*, Prince's *Sign 'O The Times* or The Cure's *Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me*. Therefore, I'm happy to add *Your Living All Over Me* to that short list. Number of albums left to review: 664 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 164 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 78 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 93
I listened to this at the exact perfect moment in my life
My favourite album so far since I joined this. Familiar with later DR stuff but this is entirely new on me and I loved every second. They nail the whole distorted lofi indie rock while still being melodic. I use the word âinfluentialâ a lot on these little reviews, but itâs difficult not to hear bands that followed (like Pavement, Built to Spill, Grandaddy, Dismemberment Plan etc.) take influence from this. Totally class.
Never heard of these before. Would've absolutely loved them when I was a teenager, surprised I hadn't heard them before. Haven't had enough stuff like this on this list so far so they're getting a high score... Too much classic rock! Kinda early grunge I guess? You'd think they influenced Nirvana by the sound of them. Thought Sludgefeast, the lung, raisans and lose were the best tracks. The cover of just like heaven wasn't bad either. I'm going to listen to more of these, seems they were more punk earlier on.
Brilliant, with a clear influence on many of my favourite bands - most obviously nirvana but also Biffy and pavement.
I love Dinosaur Jr., and this is a great album, especially the cover of Just Like Heaven.
Classic Dinosaur Jr album, I never liked it as much as I liked Bug, but in particular the prototype shoegaze elements are great and it is still a 5-star album of course.
Loved this one. Great guitar work all over it. You can also hear the roots of late nineties to mid 00s emo/screamo/indie rock bands on an album like this. Closing it out with a cheeky The Cure cover is the cherry on top of this one.
Un gran disco de una banda influyente del grunge, un sonido muy particular que esta entre los 80 y los 90, uno de los temas que me gusto mĂĄs es The Lung.
This was the first Dinosaur Jr record I heard so it set the standard high for their subsequent releases and this remains my favourite album of theirs. It's loud, noisy and it hits hard. It's not a perfect record by any stretch, but it came at a time when alternative music was starting to get attention, pre-grunge, pre-Nirvana and it gave me hope that music was more than pretty faces, pretty songs and pretty boring music. I still listen to this album, a lot and if you do, play it loud, loud LOUD!
who is itttt
Their album Bug had a bigger impact on me back in the day, but this was is also a masterpiece.
De naam van de band kende ik van horen, maar nog niet echt bewust naar hun muziek geluisterd. Maar de loeiende gitaren met veel distortion vielen goed in de smaak
