DINOSAUR JR. - BEYOND (LP)

Limited Edition of 7,000 on Purple & Green Vinyl. Celebrating the 15th anniversary since its original release, Dinosaur Jr. is reissuing "Beyond" on limited edition colored vinyl with a special edition 7". With J Mascis on guitar & lead vocals, Lou Barlow on bass and vocals, and Murph on drums, the 2007 album was the first from original lineup Dinosaur Jr. since 1988's "Bug," kicking off a Dinosaur Jr. reunion which has lasted longer than the band's original run. "Less a theme park of the past and more of an actual trip there_ Beyond is nostalgic for everything but the band's own glory days. If anything, it's an exercise in making their entire twenty-year output sound contemporary again." - Zach Baron for Pitchfork "very existence of this new album is a surprise, but the real shock is that Beyond is a flat-out great record, a startling return to form for J Mascis as a guitarist and songwriter and Dinosaur Jr. as a band_ Beyond isn't merely a worthy album from a reunited band, it's simply a great record by any standard." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine for Allmusic Guide "There is something almost eerie about how exactly the Dinosaur Jr of 2007 sound like the Dinosaur Jr of 1988: on occasion, listening to Beyond feels discombobulating, like meeting an old school friend 20 years on_" - Alex Petridis for The Guardian
