An album of contrasts: Mascis still knows how to pull out super cool riffs and solis, but on the other hand, his voice tends to be too often in whispers, breaking this sentiment of grand rock'n'roll that the guitars tried to install. Most songs display this duality, which makes it difficult to point out one clear highlight (jk it's "Alone"). If Dinosaur Jr.'s albums were Friends episodes, this one would be called "The One With All the Solis".
