Definitely the best Dinosaur Jr. album for me, it's just that little bit better than Bug and a clear progression from Dinosaur. The opener 'Furry Little Things' is the highlight of the album for me, I love the way it opens with screaming and J Mascis' wah-wah guitar, pretty damn good song too. So many other great songs on this album such as 'Sludgefeast' with it's heavy Black Sabbath-inspired riffs, 'In a Jar' and their blistering cover of The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven' (although it wasn't on the original album). Everyone always brings up the really ****ty production but too be honest I can't really imagine it any other way. I love recordings that don't sound quite right, it just seems to add extra character to the music.
For anyone getting into alternative rock this is definitely a must-have album.
