ditto, I mean I like sprawling noisy guitar jams as much as the next guy but this is the album where they really benefit from having excellent actual songs.

i prefer the 2 albums that followed it because J is an incredible drummer

J also drums on a lot of the album before this, and my favorite, Green Mind. I feel like it is usually dismissed as The Wagon and 9 other tracks but Water, Thumb, and the title track are three of the best Dino songs imo and the whole thing is solid. And The Wagon is fucking classic.

Best sounding Dinosaur album imo

ah yeah, I have a lot of love for Green Mind too. the acoustic versions of a lot of those songs on Martin + Me opened it up for me.

I know a lot of people who rate this as their favorite Dino... But it's Green Mind for me.

But I'll still take Bakesale over any of 'em.

Got You're Living All Over Me on the turntable in the living room, sitting on the front porch listening through the open window, beautiful spring day. Feeling pretty good about things right now. 😌

i tried listening to where you been yesterday but aside from choppin a lot of the other songs sounded pretty egregiously harmonically… gross. yet so 90s alt-rock-mainstream, what was goin on back then.
