Dinosaur Jr. – Give A Glimpse Of What Yer Not

One of the worst sounding records that Ive ever heard. Put it on a for a minute or two....and then put it back in the stack to die. THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS

Jagjaguwar is infamous for inconsistent pressings. I've been lucky so far, until now. My copy has a ton of surface noise even after a thorough wet cleaning. Fortunately the Dino noise drowns most of it out. But the intense inner groove distortion makes the last track on each side all but unlistenable.

Like others have pointed out, this pressing doesn’t sound very good. No bass, lots of midrange, muffled highs. And the drums sound like crap. No problems with surface noise etc on my copy though. Shame on great music, although this doesn’t rank as one of the better Dinosaur Jr albums in my opinion.

Feels like the folks who are complaining about the mix / sound of this record aren’t too familiar with the Dinosaur sound. This sounds totally great for what it is. Classic Dino fuzz.

Picked up a copy today … good news its flat and silent great physical press. The sound!? I love it! Sounds like classic D Jr. from the first SST albums, sorry to hear folks complaining about “ a bad master” or whatever but i think this is the intended low-fi sound and its nowhere near as bad as some of these reviews are making it out to be, nothing is buried … the vocals,bass,drums and guitar are all well represented and mixed well. Also some great songs and hooks and a ton of acid drenched guitar, there u have it imho some old school Dinosaur Jr. … love it!
So ive had this for about a week now and im so glad i bought this! I almost took it back after reading these comments ( so glad i did not! ) -this may be one of their best albums including the SST years

Just bought this from the merch booth after their show... The sound quality on my copy of this album is very muddy. The vinyl is quite wavy/warped and causes the tone arm to jump. Kinda bummed.

loads of surface noise, bad bad bad pressing. Great music though

My copy is clean and flat and (mostly) quiet (some ticks here and there), but general sound quality is not that good. No depth, no presence, just kind of blah. You can crank it and that helps, but this is a record that should have some real visceral punch and it doesn't. Drums sound like someone hitting a paper bag. Maybe the length (nearly 47 minutes) has something to do with it? I don't know.

My record is dead silent with zero pops or clicks, guitar washes around the place in layers with lead and vocals cutting through. comes across as a warm analogue feel, A little warped however..

I completely agree with MEllODrOnE, sounds muffled. Listen to this one on CD, but the splatter vinyl is cool!
