3.9 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | January 12th 21 | After letting some folky touches dominate Dino Jr.'s past two outputs, Mascis decided to shed lights on his guitar solo capabalities. Fully converting himself to the alt rock/grunge craze of the times, the folky bits have not disappeared, but are now secondary to these now-trademark Mascis solis. Really, if there's one thing this album accomplishes, it's that it's the record they had to release in 1993: it's still unmistakably Dino Jr. thanks to the noisy antics and Mascis' voice, but it also gathers folky influences (Neil Young comes to mind) and the musical zeitgeist (that means grunge). Another winner.

4.0 excellent | McP3000 | November 23rd 07 | At first the album seemed linear, one-angled, and it dragged on a bit towards the end. Yet, upon further, deeper listens, the music began to speak to me in a different way. It doesn't grasp the listener at the first, or second, or maybe even fifth listen. But suddenly it becomes different notes, different vocals, different music on that Nth listen. On that Nth listen it just fits, it works, and it hit me. Where You Been is a deeper and more complex album than you would initially realize on first listen. It might boil down to be alienating at first, Johnson's inaudible bass may begin peeve you, or simply J Mascis doesn't end up having your style of voice. Yet, the impurities of this album is what makes it so honest and fascinating. There is no heart wrenching pain, no hidden messages, no joyous celebration, no over-production. It's crude, unperfected, surface oriented alternative rock. Yet, whenever i spin this CD, it makes me just want to sit down and...smile.
