Reviews
"Farm Sounds like Old-School Dino -- Gnarlier, Snarlier, and Better than It Has Any Business Being.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It begins with 'Pieces,' its catchy, upbeat melody underpinned by Mascis' trademark noodling, feedback-drenched guitar.", 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...", 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.", "With 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 -- "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 -- "It boasts some of Mascis' biggest departures under the Dino name. 'Your Weather' is a surprising interpretation of vintage Britpop..."
