New Dinosaur Jr CD and tour!

And the tour starts in Milford CT, practically my backyard!

 

Pitchforkmedia has the cover for the new album. Far out!

I'm getting a contact high just looking at the JPG of that cover. I wonder if I'll have to pick seeds out of it.

 

Slight nod to Lord of the Rings methinks(?)

great cover!

 

Nice.

 

Wanted to see them at SXSW, but it just didn't work out. OTOH, I did see Mascis sitting in with Earthless and then hanging out on Sunday afternoon at the guitar show.

Double LP comes in beautiful litho-wrapped gatefold jackets and contains digital download coupon for free MP3s of the album.

 

Cool video of them working "in the studio." Can't wait to hear the new album and see them live again!

 

Here's a video for one of the new songs, "Over It." Clearly a winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrzW1GRozbc

 

Great stuff. Thanks.

 

CD buyers take note that there's a limited edition double-disc version coming out as well.

 

I've got my order in for the vinyl.

 

Too cool....Love the Over It video. This one's sealed in stone.


My nephew is see DJ in Halifax Nova Scotia in July as part of the Virgin Feast I think. I won't be in Halifax until a week later

 

You can preview to the album on their myspace page

"Farm" is awesome...Been listening to it for the last fortnight

I like it better than beyond! I've ordered a deluxe edition over the internet..It shipped a few days ago... Can't wait to get it!

I hope they come back to Australia soon too.... Great live band..

 

BTW...

This cd is probably the loudest cd ever......ouch!

I'm going to order the vinyl too!

 

What, even louder than 'Smell The Glove'!

 

My ears are bleeding, but I like what I'm hearing so far. The song 'I want you to know' is really catchy and rocks hard. The others are pretty great too. What an amazing band

 

Louder.... this is up to 12...and the lack of dubly makes for ear bleeding highs!

Seriously though, this is louder than the "Raw Power" cd... I'm not kidding..

But... back to the album, it's amazing Incredible how they were away for so long, and came back with two albums that are as good as their original stuff.

 

How does this compare to "Beyond" ??

I'm a big Lou Barlow fan.. not a big Dinosaur fan.

 

Instantly moves into #2 on my fave Dino Jr. record list... seriously great. I'm blown away that they were able to recreate (and exceed) the magic a second time since the reunion of the original line-up.

 

I got the vinyl at the weekend and can say without any shadow of a doubt that it is the loudest album i have ever heard by quite some distance over my 1000 or so vinyl albums. I had to turn it down about 5 notches on the dial from my other vinyl releases.

Music is great though.

 

Wow. Glad I went the cheap route and got the mega-loud 2cd!

 

So is this loud as in wide dynamic grooves, or just loud in the sense that the music has been crushed? I assume the latter of couse, but what the heck.

Will be picking this up later today, assuming I can get the 2CD version locally - brickwalled sonics or not!
