i love all 3 albums, if i had to choose two i liked more i suppose id say dinosaur and YLAOM but bug is a classic as well. dinosaur might actually be my favorite of the 3 these days.
alright i done popped on my without a sound vinyl and i gotta say, my outlook on this album HAS changed, been a while since i gave it a relisten and it definetely hit me differnet for the first time. my analysis: i was allways a fan of i dont think so and yeah right, still am great songs. Outta hand i remember heavily disliking this song when i was younger and i was sure that i still did but man, i liked it alot this time haha. Grab it, awesome fucking song. Get out of this, i was more familiar with the instrumental version on the feel the pain seven inch and never cared much for the version with lyrics, but this time around i enjoyed it much. On the brink, great track, and i also enjoyed seemed like the thing to do alot.
so yeah, i definetely dig this album much more so now and i could see myself waking up tommorow with the songs in my head and putting it on again.
immediatly after listening to it i had to bust out my feel the pain 7 inch and rock the instrumental get out of this.. so rippin..
hand it over.. still better haha.
If I made an opinion, I don’t know how it can be wrong.
They played lots of songs from the first record at the show i at go went. You’re Living is still the best out of those 3 releases, those songs will be around forever (though I’m still missing this cd).
Kracked873, Outta Hand sure is a slow song. Seemed Like The Thing To Do ties with it, as being one of the most painful to get thru. On the brink is a great song. Without A Sound is kinda like More Light, in a happier place most of the time it seems.
"If I made an opinion, I don’t know how it can be wrong."
I was being sarcastic.
Kracked, I’m glad to hear about your new liking to Without a Sound. I still stand that that is the most underrated Dinosaur Jr album. I still think Green Mind should get talked about more.

So was I, I think. Something like that.
Green Mind became one of my favorites over Where You Been for a time, but I don’t think it is anymore.Green mind was the first one i got crazy into. This and YLAOM are the two that i break into the least cause i think theyre the ones i have listened to the most in my days.
The songs on Green Mind are so different from the rest of the albums. Water is such a great song, even though it’s production sounds real cheap. Thumb’s really cool too.
Here’s my thought about it.
It’s pretty much about ages.
It was around 1997 when I discovered Dino, I was 17. I heard Get Me and fell in love.
I heard a live show on swedish radio (now know as the "Out There" bootleg).
Then my first CD was WAS.My point is: If you were like 15-20 when the first record came out and you discovered it back then….
Yeah, I think you got my point.
All my friends that don’t are much of Dino fans still thinks Feel the Pain is their greatest tune. So WAS is a pretty easy listening album I guess. A good start for a guy that never heard Din before.
You’re right Mind Glow, I’d imagine to feel different about it if I were a teenager in 1985. Where You Been is the first one I played non stop. Kracked, what age did you pick up Dinosaur?
Funny enough, YLAOM was the first one I owned and became obsessed with. I was 14, it was the summer of 2005. I had just spent some time with my family in Tampa, and there my older brother showed me them playing The Lung on the Late Late Show and burned me YLAOM. I came home July 15th, and decided to listen it with my twin brother. And I was blown away. I became fixated on that record. It still stands as my second favorite LP ever.
Then I bought Bug and Where You Been? sometime later after I started hearing more and more of their stuff. Dinosaur was my favorite from the stuff I had been listening to. Finally I got more and more of their releases, and my two favorites are YLAOM and Dinosaur. And I agree Curbdogma, Green Mind is a really unique Dinosaur Jr album. He never did songs like I Live For That Look, Water, How’d You Pin That One On Me, etc ever again. Total shame, I love that album!

I don’t remember ever hearing turnip farm or forget it. Is turnip farm included on the new green mind?
Hey Jeremy. Blowing it and living for that look are perfect. I hoped Dino would do another album like that.
Blowin’ It is amazing. I Live For That Look is a stone killer as well. And of course The Wagon is a masterpiece in J’s library.
And yes, Turnip Farm and Forget It are on the reissue. Both are really good songs!

picked up dinosaur when i was 15, 1997 just after hand it over came out. i had got without a sound in 95 or 96 but only listened to feel the pain so i dont really think of it as when i picked up dinosaur. around 97 i saw freakscene and the wagon on "the year punk broke" ( i was a big nirvana/sonic fan at the time.. still am) and i saw the two dinosaur songs in that movie and was blown away, i knew this was the band i needed to get to know better. right after i watched year punk broke i bought green mind just cause i liked the cover and i immediatly fell in love with the wagon, blowin it/live for that look, thumb. then i just fell in love with the album. id been big into sebadoh bakesale and curious to hear dinosaur with lou. bought youre lviing all over me and fell in love. at that point i just started buying every dinosaur and sebadoh album there is, and now ten years later.. i still love it all. and am still allways finding more sebadoh/lou shit i dont know. and loving any new J shit.
Thanks Kracked. I thought you had been listening since you were 12 years old in 1985. Your screen name leds me to believe you were born in August. I bought the Year Punk Broke too, and I don’t remember where. I thought it was terrible that one of the songs was cut. If I ‘member correctly, Wagon was started on record mid song. The other bands are ok too. I thought for sure they would have that on dvd by now. Everyone needs Thurston Moore’s hosting entertainment, but be careful not to pick it up and release it into the real world. There aren’t enough eccentrics yet.
I started listening alot in 1993. I had heard them prior only a few times to that.
Water is a great song. On the free so free site I think you can download it done by cloudberry jam. If the Cure would cover that song, I might even buy one of their records.
