Is the same problem in the downloadable version using the code from the european Farm limited edition double vinyl? Cos I downloaded the files and they sound really bad. Haven’t checked the actual vinyl though, but will tomorrow.

Thanks.

A really good song!

J seems to have written the lyrics already, which is unusual I guess.
Atleast I hope so because there’s some really good lines:

"And you know it spins around you I believe it.
And the world it really needs you now I see it."

Good stuff.

What about Without A Sound re-release?
I do have the original, but it has not yet been re-released either methinks.

1. Hand it over
2. Bug
3. Beyond
4. Where you been
5. Without a sound
6. You’re living all over me
7. Dinosaur
8. Green mind

Green mind is still great though Just the least good.

Here, in Finland, Conan is pretty much the only talk show in television. I’d hate it if they’d play "Almost Ready". As much as people say (in reviews and such things) that it’s a culmination of Dinolike guitar work, I’ve always thought that it’s not such a good example of Dinosaur Jr. To me Dino is about much more extraordinary chords, structures and solos than what "Almost Ready" has. Playing it just doesn’t give a good view of the DJR big picture. I’d hate it if everybody thought that Dinosaur is a standard punk band. It’s so much more about rock (or atleast I think so).

Well, maybe it’s good to play Almost Ready, because simplicity might be good in talk show situations.. But nah

I’ve listened half of it and it seems like an album full of "nice little songs". They’re good, but they don’t have that much power and J’s solos aren’t as distinctive as usually. All in all, this seems like good stuff but not "mind blowing".

Not disappointed.
And I will buy the album

I write songs. Usually it begins with some riff I’ve invented. After one riff all these other riffs just start to come up to mind. Soon I have enough riffs for one song. Then I just write the bass stuff, lyrics and structure of the song. Usually it’s very hard to write a song if I really try. If I don’t really try and just play something, it is much easier.

Well, my favorite album is Bug, but I’ll still say without Lou. I really like songs from YLAOM individually, songs like Sludgefeast, Raisans and Tarpit are just great, but as an album it ain’t that great really. I hate Lose somehow and what sucks the most is the cover song in the end (altough I’m not quite sure if it was like that in the original version). Songs without Lou, altough not so "daring", are more stable and provide much more solid album unities. Where you been is one of the best albums as a whole ever. Same goes with Green Mind. This is not Lou’s fault though, the songs without Lou would probably have been better with Lou. And Bug is always the favorite

It is mentioned in "Our Band Could Be Your Life" that Lou wrote Poledo to be somekind of a "could-I-get-a-girlfriend" song.
