Some people think this is the ONLY Dinosaur album!

"If you missed this album's first release, or didn't know that Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Sentridoh, Folk Implosion) and J Mascis used to jam together back in the day, buy this CD! The first two albums this unit released as Dinosaur (later re-issued as Dinosaur Jr.) have been highly influential to what's now become two generations of punk and indie rockers. You must find a place for this disk in your collection! P.S. Listeners to this album should check out Lou's devotional, "The Freed Pig" on Sebadoh III."

"You cannot beat this album! If you are a dinosaur fan and do not own this, do it now! Going throughout life without hearing the beauty of dinosaur at their finest is a crying shame."
If you like Dinosaur Jr, this is a must!!

"This albumn rocks!! Both Lou Barlow and J Mascis are awesome on this albumn and all of thier influences really show through. Its so raw and bass-heavy. This is what indie-alternative is supposed to sound like."
Good Cd

"This is the first and only (?) dinosaur album. The songs on here were great it went from slow to fast. I like all the songs on here I think out of all the dinosaur jr albums this one has the best vocals and songwriting. But it wouldnt be until 1987 when the band would change thier name to dinosaur jr and rip apart the indie scene with thier next cd your living all over me. The songs on here are the type of songs you can enjoy at any time of day. The songa on here are like easy jam songs like something led zepplin would do, in some cases J mascis sounds a bit like neil young. My all time fave on this album had to be severed lips that song is amazing its not fast and not slow its a song you can bop your head to. My least fave was pointless while pointless is fast punkish song its just J and lou (I think) shouting were starving. Anyways if your new to dinsaur jr dont get this one first its not the type of dinosaur jr that you think, it doesnt sound like thier stuff from your livin all over me or bug and isnt near their stuff from where you been. So buy this if you want a completely different dinosaur jr. Also get your living all over and bug."
