0291.Dinosaur Jr.
You're Living All Over Me

From the beginning of the week we go six years back and land in an album by the band that spawned Sebadoh. Dinosaur Jr.'s You're Living All Over Me was released under their original name, Dinosaur, before a lawsuit forced them to change it (and what a major change it was). is a highly saluted lo-fi album where J. Masics' cracked voice sets the tune.

The difference between this and the Sebadoh-album from Monday is that this actually has a lot of good songs (in spite of the strained singing). There's feedback and there's the sound of a broken larynx, but they pull it off by wedging in heavy metal riffs, alternative rock and a whole lot of other genres into a mix that makes damn good use of its ingredients.

On the CD version there's also a bonus track in the form of Peter Frampton's Show Me The Way which, as you might expect, doesn't sound exactly like the original.

I'm not too well listened-in on the discography of the bands, but I can say that in the comparison that this weeks listen prompted I got to say that Barlow got the short straw when he got shafted from Dinosaur Jr.
