Fronted by singer-songwriter/guitarist J Mascis, Dinosaur Jr. formed in Massachusetts in 1984. Their emergence was a musical shot heard round the world as Mascis and company put the heroics of lead guitar back into the forefront of the indie rock realm-amazingly, it was a revolutionary idea at the time. Post-punk and pre-grunge, they were an intense force to be reckoned with, and when the band signed to Sire in '91, Mascis' shreddingly unique alt-rock sound was cranked up for vast new audiences of eardrums. These expanded remasters of Dinosaur Jr's first two major label albums spotlight one of the most distinctive and influential artists of the '90s in prime form.

Best 90s album I never heard of
I'm a big fan of 90s alt rock and grunge rock etc... How did I never hear of Dinosaur Jr.!? A friend turned me on to them and since then I got 2 more of their albums but I still like this one the best. Plus if you don't like the music you can always make up a story about the badass girl on the cover. My interpretation is she's picking up trash on the beach as part of her reform punishment... or she's just French.

Is your CD full of fuzz and buzz?
I bought this because the CD does not play right on my PC and it translates to itunes. I bought the digital remastered version and now my copy of Green Mind is free of ay impediments.If you haven't heard the album, give it a whirl. It's great. J delves more into acoustic territory for his fourth release. Thank God he didn't quite after Bug. To this day when Dinosaur plays 'The Wagon' at their shows every venue goes nuts. It's a real highlight at all their shows. Its just as powerful on the album. There's not a bad track on the album. It comes with "Turnip Farm" so bonus!

Another underrated band
Dinosaur Jr. is a band totally in their own zone. Their music is just different in comparison to the other bands in the 90's era. And with the track Turnip Farm (as heard in the movie Reality Bites), you truly can't go wrong with this band, especially for those looking to cross over the mainstream.
