I don't say this often, but this was just noise to me. Did not enjoy.
Unpleasant
Loud. Brash. Disconcordanant.
Ugh! I hate it this. Nothing to like here. Atrocious vocals, stupid lyrics and nothing special instrumentally.
Dinosaur Jr. is one of those criticly-acclaimed bands that I never got. I bought a used CD of Where You Been in the 90s since it appeared on Top 10 album lists. I listened to it once and never again.
1 out of 5 That was rough. Noise, painful, unnecessary.
Bunch of mostly noise and then a cover of The Cure.
Awful abum
The Good: Baby dinosaur, who doesn’t like one of them? The Bad: Wait, it’s one of them carnivore kind… The Ugly: Carnivores living all over one-self… must suck… or bite… I shall repeat what I wrote for the other Dino Jr album that I had to listen to, as it seems this is deemed important to listen to before one croaks: "… Did not like it, will place a more thorough recap at some other time” I am going to spit, rinse and repeat… Yes, I can hear the influence this band probably had one the shoegaze/grunge/alt scene that followed the hair-metal era most people want to forget ever existed… still, there are BETTER FUCKING BANDS that made grunge or alt music in ‘90s that are totally void on this list… So, sorry for all you Dino Jr fans out there, but I can’t rate this album any higher than a fucking 1* because I don’t understand why I have to listen to some asshole sing all songs as flat and slightly off key as possible just to make a point. 1* ps, I gave the other Dino Jr album a 2* rating, just FYI
The closest this gets to being listenable audio is the remaining letters: Dnsrjr.
This album was just okay for me.
Second go around listening to this. I can't do it, man. I'm not going to endure this again. It's just so fuckin' bad. I hate the vocals, I hate the guitars, I hate this god awful band. The best part of this album was when it stopped playing. They're the Neil Young of grunge, and I don't mean that in a good way. As my friend told me, "Don't endure poop because the shit machine told you to"
Nope. Not for me. I didn't like anything about this album, not even their rendition of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven." I was so put off by Dinosaur Jr that I listened to The Cure's "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" immediately after concluding "You're Living All Over Me." I really love "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me." Really, the only redeeming quality of this Dinosaur Jr. album is the title. That's a great title.
I know big day I finally listened to one. But alas, I was disappointed. Sadly I had no fun listening to this album.
I don't like poo-pooing someone's dreams, but I wish someone had told this guy he can't sing. This was hard to listen to.
meh
this is fine, perfect for people who don’t GAF if the lead vocalist is a good singer.
Dinosaur Jr just don’t do anything for me. Their sound feels completely flat and, honestly, a bit of a slog to get through. I kept waiting for something to grab my attention, but nothing ever did. Favourite track: Nothing stood out. Least favourite track: Pretty much everything — the whole album felt underwhelming. Album artwork: Cool cover, at least.
I was surprised by how bad the vocals were.....every note sung flat....what a skill!!
So the wiki article says this is regarded as a high point of rock in the 80s - which tells us just how bad rock was in the 80s. No wonder Flock of Seagulls sold so well if this was the alternative.
Nope
His voice is like cats on a chalkboard.
Noise
I mean, I know it’s a wild concept, but I feel like the singer of a band should be able to, you know… sing?
This is not up my alley at all (too grungy, sounds like a high school band). It also ends with a cover of Just Like Heaven so bad it's almost insulting. Not every original song is every listener's cup of tea, but I respect anyone who puts themselves out there with their art. But if you're covering a song that's actually good, and do *that* to it, you fully deserve any criticism you get for it
Hmm. Not for me
This annoys me. Doubly so because this is here and none of Menomena's albums are.
Not for me and a not so good experience 2/10
Well, this is the kind of music that doesn't do anything for me. I don't know what to do with it.
too much distortion for me to fully enjoy the music
This is god fucking awful.
nope
awful
SUCKED
I never heard of this band, and now I know why.
I remember listening to one of their songs on a videogame long time ago and thinking: what the hell is this? This sucks! Now, after I read about their story and importance in music history I listened to this album, which I can only believe it's their best because it is on this list, and thinking: what the hell is this? This sucks!
This is shit. A struggle to get through. Just sounds so amateur. Should not be on the list
No
1. fury - 1 2. craked - 1 3. zludge - 1 4. lung - 1.5 5. raizinz - 1.5 6. tarpit - 1 7. jar - 1 8. looze - 1.5 9. poledo - 1.5 10. heaven - 1.5
this fella still can't sing
Wer Krach mag, wird vielleicht glücklich damit. Ich nicht.
90's grunge started early
This is what happens when you take musical inspiration from static or white noise. Some parts of some of the songs sounded good, but then it would sound like the point in the car trip when your normal radio stations start to lose signal and you'd go between a song and pure static noise.
Noise
1/5
mmm muy ruidos, no me gustó nada
I really wanted to like this, because so many people reference this band so frequently. ...Alas; this is not good music. It's got emotion, and if that's all you are needing, then maybe this is right for you - but the musicianship and songwriting are dull.
Didn’t get past song three
Nope
No
Desperdício de guitarras, ou só do meu tempo mesmo.
Horrible screaming and banging. Vocals not much better. 1/5
The screaming seems well done if you’re in to that. The entire album is loud and messy and not very fun to listen to.
Not for me
Just naw to j masticulitis voice
Right off the bat I knew this would be a tough one to get through. This sounds like the first take of a band in some sort of basement- a very rough draft that for some reason they decided was good enough to produce. I hated every second and was continuously going back to see how many songs I had left. Voice is horrible, music just added on. No chemistry between vocals and instrumentals.
Alright - which one of you gave everyone on the short bus access to instruments and a microphone? Lo-fi slacker out of tune shit hits all my buttons! Awful awful awful (loading up that word cloud for this one) awfulness. 1/10 1 dead star
I should get 5 stars for listening to this. Yet another album on this list that tests my musical listening tolerance and endurance. Sludgefest is a horrible song. Period. The vocals are terrible and the guitarist makes me wants to take my earbuds out and smash them into bits. There’s a reason I’ve never heard of this “band”.
I like the name of the album and the band. The music was just noisey and not enjoyable for me. There were parts I liked; the vocals were good but every song I was enjoying would drop into an abrasive distorted guitar part that at best sounded like a talented guitarist playing with a broken amp. 2/10
2/10… alternative rock / grunge
This album sounds like someone got a new guitar pedal and then just played grunge spaghetti through it over and over. There's just nothing there for the audience and it's all for the band.
TODAS AS MUSICAS SÃO IGUAIS NÃO TEM UMA IDENTIDADE MUSICAL
This album almost got 2 stars purely based on the fact I was able to get through it, but then Poledo came on and I think that may be one of the worst songs of all time. This is trash. Awful vocals, guitar is annoying, and tons of annoying screetching/noises put in just because. 2.5/10 (1.25/5)
Noise rock. ¿Pero qué broma es esta? Un 1.
My poor ears
Too many random noises not enough actual music
proto-grunge, sellainen cobain äänensävy kaverilla paitsi kuulostaa huomattavasti ärsyttävämmälle sekä musiikki on melodioiltaan ja produktioiltaan täyttä kuraa eikä tosiaan kovin kuunneltavaa musiikkia nyt tullut tänäänkään vastaan, huonoa jatkumoa pidetään yllä tällähetkellä kun ei sinne keskiarvon positiivisen puolelle oikeen saada yhtään tavaraa... dinosaurukset kuolivat 65 miljoonaa vuotta sitten, ehkä juniorin aika on nyt... antaa kuolla.. ottakaa pois listoilta.. ottakaa pois sivuilta... haudatkaa syvälle.. ja unohtakaa.. unohtakaa lopullisesti... nimittäin toinen albumi tältä ryhmältä on ehkä kaksi liikaa, toivotaan että ei joudu uudestaan kokemaan näiltä herrasukoilta lisää.. kracked
What a mismatch of vocals to music. How do you sound so low energy and have such intense tempo behind you? It also manages to meander for way too long in places, and sometimes throws in loud jarring noise out of nowhere (The Lung in particular). This put me in a bad mood.
1001 albums to die before listening to. How is there so much grunge on this list. Please… make the grunge stop. PPLEASE. Potentially the worst album I’ve listened to so far.
Noise rock. ¿Pero qué broma es esta? Un 1.
Completely shit
Shit
I appreciate all the positive reviews of this album, but for me it was a real chore to listen to.
music is mostly o.k., but i don't like the singing .
Punk, laut, 1987 -> 1
Terrible
No thank you
Mest bara oljud i mina små öron.
Too busy. Noisy.
Not for me
What the fuck did I just listen to? It felt like I was listening to a group of teenagers play in their parents garage. The singer didn't add anything, the guitar was decent but felt more loud at times than enjoyable. It wasn't all negative though, the album was only 38 minutes so it ends before your ears can bleed.
Noise. Solid 1 on a scale of 5.
Very loud for the sake of being loud. Very whiney. Very screechy. Did not enjoy
I would’ve been able to enjoy a song if they turned down the distortion in atleast 1 song
Dinosaur Jr has always been a hard no for me. Listened to this album, and I still feel the same. 😂 I have a lot of friends that are big fans, so I've been exposed to their music... a lot. Always sounded like off-key noise to me. 🤣 #sorrynotsorry I'm also usually a big fan of covers, but not this one (Just Like Heaven), nothing heavenly about it. 😏
Una verga atómica.
Gear: DCA ÆON 2 Noire Artwork: 🧑🤝🧑✍️🖼️ Production: 📢🗑️💩 Music: 🤔⁉️🤮 Rating: 🦖(🦖)/5
Pre-grunge grunge. That would make them pretty significant if they could have pulled it off.....which they didn't. Hipster logic: this sucks, but I'll say that I love it so that I can claim to have liked it first. If it becomes popular, then I was the first to like it for what it is, and not as a bandwagon fan. If it never catches on, then I can bask in my superiority complex of recognizing genius that the peasantry just isn't sophisticated enough to understand.
Just don't get how this can be on this list. Only decent moment was the cover of the Cure and even it is shite.
Ugh. Im so tired of getting rock albums from white anglo bands. Enough!!! Great guitar, horrible horrible vocals. (barely) standout track: just like heaven
Not my cup of tea
lo-fi mess. I understand it and the point of time it came out, but I'm no longer interested in Dinosaur Jr.
Unbelievably bad.
Nothing like the foos
Boring
Grunge
It's as if they're trying to compensate for the lack of creativity with excessive noise.
Could not get into this. Musically I liked Just Like Heaven but the vocals are… not good.
Mah, roba vecchia e diventata vecchia
Absolutely not.
Sounds good until the singing starts - sounds like th singer is in pain. Spotifiy played Warsaw by Joy Division song after playing this album and in comparison it seemed like a happy song.
No improvement over Bug
I like some dinosaur jr but not this album at all. Has the punk rock sound that this list is littered with.
1/5. Not the vibe at all. Nothing stood out and it all sounds like a hot mess. I’ll try it once more at a later time but just no good at all.
noise
Bad
OK, going to try doing live thoughts today: Track one - A lot of screaming to open this album. OK, there is the singer. He sounds... he sounds like he isn't a good singer. Like seriously this is like 4th of July karaoke. Here come the guitars again, it is just off putting. Track two - Yep this guy just can't sing. More annoying guitars. OK, I can't do this anymore... Is this just on this list because it was so different from popular music of it's time? Like how does that make it essential? Because it influenced others? And so I need that context to understand great music? There just doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason right now to some of these albums. Track three - The vocals still SUCK, but the music I am starting to understand a little bit. Nope nevermind, they went off the deep end. Man, just when I thought we were getting somewhere. Track four - Whatever Track five - Maybe we are starting to get somewhere. This sounds like a song that may have commercial appeal, which is actually more than I can say about the others. Track six - I like the rhythm and guitars and drums in this song, but man the vocals... And now we're spamming the whammy bar again and just making noise. Fuck this song. It feels like track three all over again. Track seven - What is this? How did it get on this album? Sounds nothing like the other songs. Track eight to the end - Nope. Sorry. I'm done. Overall, I think the word that sums this up is raw and annoying. There are pieces here. Snippets that would lay the foundation for the alternative we got in the 90s, but there was just so much other shit to wade through to find it. This guy cannot sing. Like at all. And it is distracting as fuck to try and get through him doing it on this album.
nah
These fuckers couldn't even do a decent cover version of a Cure song.
Not for me.
Very meh
Not for me.
Typical generic punk rock,very boring
“Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine has named the album, among others, as an influence for his band's seminal You Made Me Realise EP.” What an accolade *rolls eyes*.
I didn't enjoy this at all, I couldn't even finish it. 1/5 stars.
Eh. Pretty much garbarge.
crap. awful. couldn't manage to get all the way through
- WHAT
Nope, didn’t like that. Tuneless singing and similar sounding tracks. Wouldn’t listen again *
Not for me
I didn't like it. It sounded like a bunch of noise, not music.
Loses a mark for butchering the cure
This was pretty bad. Singing was drony, instruments all over the place, it was noise
franchement aucun intéret dans cette musique mal chanté
This started off as a four based on the year and how influential I could tell it was on the grunge scene that was about to emerge. But the more I listened the lower the score got, god is this unpleasant on the ears.
shit, its like mediocre and then at some parts it sounds like a construction crew walked into the studio, not a fan
a torturous experience. sitting through this makes me feel less bad for skipping the other dinosaur jr album on this list (did we really need 2?)
