All right, here’s a rough translation of the short but friendly album review <img>
The former leader of the Indie and alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr. returns with his third Studio album. He seems to feel well on solo trails and he seems to enjoy all artistic liberties. Apparently, that’s important to him, taking into account the album title, ("Free so Free") and song titles like "Freedom", "set us Free" and "Free so Free".
He enjoys a completely different kind of liberty with his newest hobby, the parachuting, by the way. The Freedom concept of the album refers to that, also. "Free so Free" has been recorded almost alone by the multi talented guy, he plays bass, guitar, drums and key board equally. Also a kind of liberty, which he couldn’t enjoy in former times.
He left himself all doors open, composition wise. The range reaches from first-class oblique rock songs ("Bobbin’ ", "Say The Word") up to melancholic, romantic songs ("Free so Free", "Someone Said"). The most well-known brand name of J. Mascis remained constant: His nasal, laconic voice
