| 5.0 classic | Harrison Muecke | February 28th 09 | Jay Mascis is most likely my favorite guitarist. He takes the most simple of ideas and expands of them, he flows with the music, and he showcases his talent in the most subtle and most powerful moments that one can. With his slight country draw, his wailing leads, and consistent songwriting, he has proven Dinosaur Jr to be the premier Indie Alternative Rock band of the last twenty years, yet he would not be anywhere if it were not for their legendary 1987 album, Youre Living All Over Me. Although it may never reach the same highs as his later works, its production may be lower, and his voice may be a bit off key, the Dino composed 10 songs that work more solidly together than any other outing of the entire 1980s (what a shitty decade). His lyrics are always simple, sweet, and genuine. The basslines never stray far enough outside the rhythm guitar, and the drums never take center stage, but it is in this album that Dinosaur Jr. is one band rather than a single man project, it is the embodiment of their energy and raw sound. 8 songs that add upon each others strengths, leading into the most chilling song they ever put out, Poledo. Quite simply put, creepy and confusing, it is a window into a different part of Mascis that is never shown again. It fades out with a long drone, into a cover of Just Like Heaven by the Cure, and they do it so much better than Robert Smith could have. Plus Lou Barlows growling mixed in with alternative music is just awesome.

| 4.5 superb | red0 | November 27th 08 | You're Living All Over Me showcases Dinosaur Jr at their creative peak with a very low budget. The production is hideously horrible-Furry Little Things is painful to listen to-but, the music is so strong and the lo-fi production only compliments the lazy, drab style of J Mascis's vocals and the songs. A lo-fi work of art.

| 5.0 classic | Shay Garland | November 11th 08 | If you were to ask someone to put on some headphones and listen to this album, they would mention the horrible production quality and the occasional painful vocals from Jay. Those are really the only downsides to this album but they are forgettable to my ears because of the raw and emotional guitar solos and the overall atmosphere. A true indie lo-fi classic.

| 5.0 classic | sharkboy | September 29th 07 | You're Living All Over Me is the essential Dinosaur Jr release. Everything that is great about the band can be found here. This is, in a way, the perfect album. YLAOM is fun, catchy, and melodic, while at the same time bleak and depressing. J Mascis has a very fitting voice, and he is one of the best guitarists of his genre. Scratch that, he's one of the best guitarists ever. Songs like Little Fury Things and In A Jar are simply beautiful, and songs like Kracked and Tarpit are catchy and uplifting, yet melancholy at the very same time. This is easily one of the greatest albums of all-time. Dinosaur Jr. is definitely not for everybody, but if you want to become a fan, look here. It's mesmerizing; it's stunning; it's a classic.

| 4.5 superb | Michael Freitag | February 12th 07 | You're Living All Over Me is a Lo-Fi, Alternative masterpiece. Despite clocking in at roughly forty minutes, the album still manages to feel sprawling without losing any of its accessibility or strange charm. The songwriting is clever in that it combines simplicity and ease of understanding with unorthodox structures. Throw in J. Mascis' fantastic, powerful guitar playing and the noisy, unpredictable soundscape of "Poledo", and you have yourself one hell of an album.
