About everyone who listened to the radio in the mid-1990s has heard Feel the Pain by Dinosaur Jr. but probably not much else. They went through some career ups and downs, but they are back now, rocking, and pretty old.

You can’t deny the guitar virtuosity of J. Mascis, and his tortured vocals are pretty good, too. Lou Barlow, also from Folk Implosion, plays bass and sings a little, too. Then there is Murph on drums.

Nothing grabs the way that Feel the Pain did, and that’s OK. The quality is still there and reminds me of listening to modern rock radio in the 90s (before Clear Channel turned it all to shit).

You got hair bandy rockers like I Met the Stones and then you got the loungey pep of Take It Back.

At some point, though, I think they need to change their name to Dinosaur Sr.

Just sayin’.
