      On an evening just two weeks before the release of their ninth studio album, Farm, Dinosaur Jr played a set which hacks and burns its way through any number of competitors on a night when both Mastodon and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are luring people away. That anyone should consider anyone else worth seeing over these three Masachusetts slacker-types is a little bewildering, though I’m sure they have their reasons. Dinosaur Jr, in case you somehow haven’t heard, are one of the greatest bands of our age… and here’s why…… Continue to article

            Agreed. There are a lot of holes to be picked in that articlej innacuracies which could have been corrected had the smallest amount of research been done, bogus comparisons, just plain bad writing…

            I think a lot of NME’s articles have been almost unreadable for a few years (it’s more about haircuts than anything else and sentences filled with OTT adjectives copy/pasted from online thesuari are passed off as accurate descriptions of sound.) Still at least they’re banging on about a great band for once :)

            Hope I don’t sound bitter
