Biography

It's hard to believe, but it was 25+ years ago when Dinosaur Jr. first roamed the back roads and byways of central Massachusetts. J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Patrick "Murph" Murphy formed their now legendary band in 1984, in the sleepy college town of Amherst, MA, and went on to change the face of rock forever...whether they actually ever intended to or not.

Long before the folks in Seattle were… Read more in Amazon's Dinosaur Jr. Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Like Heaven alone is worth the price..., June 30, 2001
By 
"boy_howdy" (Northfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Like Heaven (Audio CD)
Dinosaur Jr. covers the Cure? Yeah, but where the Cure did the original "Just Like Heaven" as an eighties pop piece more suited to sparkle on John Hughes movie soundtracks, J Mascis and company tear it up and put it back together as a true masterpiece of anger and grunge. The bass growls, the screamed YOUUUUUU of the chorus, and the way the song ends abruptly in a crash of guitars and feedback all contribute to a fine reinterpretation of a surprisingly emotional piece.

Not truly B-sides but clearly there to fill out some space, both "Throw Down" and "Chunks" are less complete ideas than mere snippets of songs, fun, bass-heavy and raw, still clearly from the heyday of Dinosaur Jr. The original LP, a full-sized disk played at '45, is a collectors item - the B-side of the album's vinyl is imprinted with anatomical drawings of organs and a Rice Krisps box - but even the CD's cover art is vintage Dinosaur Jr. Worth owning in either format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just How to do the that Trick..., February 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Just Like Heaven (Audio CD)
This was the defining moment of the Dinosaur enterprise. Mr. Mascis steps up to the plate and swings his ax, "Just Like Heaven" could never be the same again. I couldn't either; for this is the real life song; just as I have been living it..
