NEW VINYL LP ON FAT POSSUM 2021180 GRAM VINYL.(15th Anniversary Edition) (purple & green LP + white 7¡å)Since bassist Lou Barlow left Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, the band--whose last record was 1997's expansive Hand It Over--has largely become an alter-ego moniker for guitarist/vocalist J Mascis. But now the original trio (including drummer Emmett Murph Murphy) has reunited for the first time since Barlow's split, and the 11-song outcome makes one ask: Why did they wait so long? Mascis's thunderous Almost Ready, featuring both his combustible guitar and weary vocals, is the perfect blast-off, allowing Murphy's backbeat to set a turbulent pace early, and while songs like Been There All the Time and the Neil Young accolade This Is All I Came to Do have Mascis as primed as ever, Barlow (whose '90s-era Sebadoh set the bar for lo-fi bands) reappears with two of the record's strongest tracks: the poppy Lightning Bulb and Back to Your Heart, which recalls late-in-the-game H¨¹sker D¨¹. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_Jr.TracklistAlmost Ready? 2.
