Dinosaur Jr. Farm

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Avalanching metal riffs and spit-polished solos reach for the sky with a classic-rock charisma the band never went for in its youth."
"FARM sounds like old-school Dino -- gnarlier, snarlier, and better than it has any business being."
4 stars out of 5 -- "FARM veers more towards powerpop than sludge. 'Friends' is a hunk of early Replacements roughage while 'Over It' is The Knack tackling 'Freak Scene'."
3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t boasts some of Mascis' biggest departures under the Dino name. 'Your Weather' is a surprising interpretation of vintage Britpop..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "Naturally J Mascis's guitar playing remains as distorted -- and dextrous -- as ever, but here his songcraft burns as brightly as his fretwork..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[W]ith riff-heavy slacker classics that rival past gems like 'Little Fury Things' and 'Freak Scene'. Opener 'Pieces' is a vintage display of Dinosaur Jr.'s knack for grafting unruly riffage to unabashedly bittersweet choruses."
4 stars out of 5 -- "It begins with 'Pieces,' its catchy, upbeat melody underpinned by Mascis' trademark noodling, feedback-drenched guitar."
