I really wish they'd "remaster" this album with their modern recording capabilities. The songs pop out so much more live than they do on the album.

@patricklink8527 7 ай бұрын

I think you probably shouldn't mess with a great album I like it just fine . Also the noise and Ambience of the recording is part of what drew me to Dinosaur Jr to begin with . Just one reporters opinion

@hungrybois5954 7 ай бұрын

@@patricklink8527 I get that, but then there would still be the original to listen to as well as this hypothetical remade album. Not that it will happen regardless, but it's still fun to pretend. Haha

I'm terrible with album and song names, but I have a Dinosaur Jr album that sounds like it's coming through an apartment wall. Some remasters are definitely in order for this level of music!

Incredibly underrated? They're rated just right. They've got loads of credit and respect. Among the Z-generation, they might be underrated compared to, say, Nirvana, but that's as far as their underratedness goes.

It's floating through the abyss Under the brig my head swings down Beware her wrath, the image gone The shell is crumbling, fix my frown This spell would be clear in non-tradition And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk And rape goes through to sin my eyes And shapes know where the heartache will lurk Forget the swan, a stone swims near A stone has come, if I could cheer Forget the swan Forget the swan Drifting among this rubble I guess the waiting, wished I would I found a box, untethered and true Possession it understood Forget the swan, a stone swims near A stone has come, if I could cheer Forget the swan Forget the swan How I tried to warn my neighbor But the corn was much too high In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day But it's not too late brother, I'll still say you were mine Forget the swan, a stone swims near A stone has come, if I could cheer Forget the swan Forget the swan Forget the swan, the dreams are gone The pain goes on, they fly at dawn Forget the swan Forget the swan Forget the swan Forget the swan

Jay M. has managed to create his very own Syle. But the other two are also part of it. Mr. B. his exelente voice and his bass playing, which is in the remotest sense, rather a guitar style on the bass, also makes very important ingredients to make the soup taste as it tastes at DINOSAUR Jr. Unique and immediately to taste, from the day's porridge. 🤜🖤🤛
