Ok we got another winner!!! How awesome is Heal the Star and Drrifter!?! I so can’t wait to see him in September!

It’s working for me too.   I’m planning to have a proper listen tonight.  Headphones, darkness, no distractions.

I imagine it’s hard to find to many people on a fan site being objective, But equally I doubt you will find anyone saying that this album is anything short of a “classic” ! It just really is everything a music fan would want.

So when  you see anyone getting excited about any of the tracks on the album, It’s not a die hard dinosaur jr/J fan (which I can be) It’s just a level of how much of a great singer/songwriter J Mascis is now.

It will be in many  of the top albums polls this year!

Watch Pitchfork and the like give it 6 out of 10 now ! : ) Ha.

For me, the album is already sounding like a familiar old friend, despite having only had access for 24h.

Any more info about the Japanese bonus tracks?

Some pages got 1 bonus track and others got 2.

[jeremiah]

I’ve seen 1 bonus track listed as “Sail Away Clean” but the Japanese bonus bundle listings also say “commentary bonus track” so I don’t know if it is referencing another interview type track or if it is just an odd translation.

This other bundle has a second bonus track titled “Outside I” – http://amzn.to/1pXSKl1

I hope they are b-sides on future 7″ ‘s ! I was going to buy the CD off ebay, But £20 for 2 tracks seemed mad even for me.
