Although always as loud as god, it was easy to convince yourself the music of Dinosaur Jr was far more passive than aggressive. This myth exploded in a hail of flaming toads in the spring of 1989, when the band’s original trio line-up burst like a ripe sac of pus. In the intervening years there have been various versions of Dinosaur Jr, several of which made use of ur-drummer, Murph; but none of them included prodigal bassist, Lou Barlow. Until now. Until Beyond.
Beyond is the eigth studio album by the alternative rock band Dinosaur Jr. It is the first album by the original lineup since 1988's Bug. It is currently set for release on May 1, 2007.
On February 7, 2007, the entire album was leaked onto the internet. It was up for almost 24 hours until it was removed by the band's management's request.
