this quote from your link sounds encouraging…

it’s a pleasure to announce that Dinosaur Jr will return to Australia (and New Zealand) this July for a full national tour. With all amps cranked to eleven you can be sure that Dinosaur Jr will deliver their new material and favourite oldies with all the subtlety of a jet engine – just the way you like it..

CAN YOUR EARS COPE? DINO JR DOWN UNDER, AGAIN
The triumphant return in 2006, of the original line-up of Dinosaur Jr, is further cemented by the release of "Beyond", the brand new studio album from the core trio of J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. Arriving somewhere between the sonic onslaught of 1987’s "You’re Living All Over Me" and the pop-tinged melancholy of 1993’s "Where You Been, Beyond" is arguably the best Dinosaur Jr album to date. Tracks such as "This Is All I Came to Do" and the first single "Been There All the Time", sitting comfortably alongside previous alterna-hits "Freak Scene" and "The Wagon", as classics for a new generation of slackers. Elsewhere (most notably on the 6 min 34 sec "Pick Me Up") we bear witness to the guitar wizardry of J Mascis, picking up the ball from 3 minutes out and giving his fret-board a solid workout. Meantime, Lou Barlow provides two of the album highlights in "Back to Your Heart" and "Lightning Bulb", his strident double-tracked lead vocal working in complete contrast to – yet remaining eerily consistent with – Mascis’s laconic drawl. I Got Lost & We’re Not Alone also, displaying the sort of vulnerability that underlies much of Dinosaur Jr’s best work but which is rarely acknowledged. Don’t just take our word for it though – check out some of these rapturous reviews:

And with all that knowledge safely in the bank, it’s a pleasure to announce that Dinosaur Jr will return to Australia (and New Zealand) this July for a full national tour. With all amps cranked to eleven you can be sure that Dinosaur Jr will deliver their new material and favourite oldies with all the subtlety of a jet engine – just the way you like it..
