The worry about the reunion of the original Dinosaur Jr.line-up, more than 20 years after their formation and legendary dissolution, was that these guys were just flogging the back catalog as a marketing gimmick. With the release of Beyond, in 2007, the band gave a hearty Marshall-driven F**K YOU! answer to those inquiring ears. Restoring the sound established by the opening hat-trick gambit of Dinosaur, Youre Living All Over MeandBug, the Beyond record continued the bands march into rock greatness by making old ears smile and new ears bleed afresh. And now comes Farm, the fifth full length record by the original line-up J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph released on their new label home Jagjaguwar. If Beyond was Dinosaur Jr.s return to form, Farm is proof that this band continues to deliver that which makes rock worth cranking to 11. At times wholly 70s guitar-epic, at times perfect for sitting by a babbling brook with Joni and Neil, Farm encompasses Dinosaur Jr.s signature palette soaring and distorted guitar, unshakable hooks, honey-rich melodies songs that get into your head and, bouncing around happily, stay there. The ear-catching Plans is nearly 7 minutes of classic whipped-topping rock dessert, while I Dont Wanna Go There is a meat-and-potatoes main dish, mixing unapologetic lead guitar with straight-ahead delivery a la James Gang or Humble Pie. These two tunes round out twelve tracks propelled by the unique energy of one of Americas greatest living rock bands hitting their stride.Farm was recorded in J Mascis Bisquiteen studio in Amherst, Massachusetts, and was produced by Mascis.
