Dinosaur Jr.- "Pieces" Track Review

7/10

Hear the song I heard:

This song may come off a little apathetic or simple, but there's a really rich mix and some passionate guitar playing fueling it all. A promising number from Dino's new LP. It's safe to say the band's still got it.

Great review and good setup. Personally "Farm" was my favorite album of 2009. I'm with the earlier poster who mentioned "Where You Been." There is some beautiful songwriting, and you have to dig the timpanis on the outro to "What Else is New." Great vid, thanks!

[theneedledrop]

Thanks for the kind words + the comment! :-)

I've got to pick up a copy of Embryonic for a review, seriously.

I love bands from that era; Pavement, Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, The Pixies, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Dino Jr & of course Nirvana!

I'm a child of the '90s!

[theneedledrop]

The 90s were an awesome time, good sir. A fucking awesome time. I think people are too quick to talk shit about certain decades. Sometimes I joke that the 80s were corny, but every decade has its share of amazing music.

Their first 3 albums are amazing .

Yeah, I love everything up to "Bug". The rest of it isn't bad by any means, just not my favourite

@theneedledrop

[loplemons]

bugged me too 

[lordquaz]

uhm duude... listen to "bug"!!!

[terepotere]

If you liked Bug you should listen to Your Living all Over Me (their second album), it's just as good if not better...

[A113Productions]

Dude, you should really go back and review one of Sebadoh's albums! Lou Barlow shouldn't only be acknowledged for being in Dinosaur Jr.

I hate bugs. Especially when they crawl on me or ruin my PC game.
