Dinosaur Jr - Where You Been

I was super reluctant once again (mang, I sleep on so much good stuff it's retarded) to listen to Dinosaur Jr. Look at the album cover, it's scary. If Charles Bukowski had a kid with an Alien that had downs, and that kid was trying to emulate On The Road, this would be his portrait. 

Eventually forced to listen to it by another kid that works at the record store, I was suprised at the depth of it. The first track is a little loud, but not over the top, and then the album slides into a groove of subtle-lushness, with J Macsis' lounging falsetto hovering above. I saw Fearless Freaks and just came to the conclusion that Wayne Coyne was ripping off Butthole Surfers. And he may be, but he is for sure ripping off Macsis. The only FLips record that tops this is The Soft Bulletin... And that's saying something.
