Review

Rolling Stone (2/18/93, p.58) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Dinosaur Jr. is a musical cargo cult, turning the detritus of another culture into something that can be used--and maybe even worshipped. For one of the crowning glories of slacker culture, look no further..."
Spin (3/93, p.69) - Highly Recommended - "...singer-guitarist-protoslacker Mascis has produced a seamless mesh of revitalized '70s, '80s, and '90s cliches...WHERE YOU BEEN sports the most fluid, emotive, searing guitar-playing Mascis has yet achieved...glorious..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/5/93, p.59) - "...The trio's pileups of extra loud, messy garage pop have been polished into catchy mutations of creamy classic rock..." - Rating: B+
Q (2/93, p.79) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...getting to know WHERE YOU BEEN is a rewarding experience...[singer/guitarist] J. Mascis's brilliant stroke is to pull a beautiful melody from an abyss of noise and drone...terrific..."
Magnet (p.90) - "Mascis is the unapologetic class president of the more-is-more school of guitar....His subtle touches...are what make WHERE YOU BEEN a grunge-era classic that's only improved with age."
Option (5-6/93, p.99) - "...WHERE YOU BEEN is similar to TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT, with lyrics that wander out into the ozone, all lonely, paranoid and melancholic: it's fetal position stuff..."
Melody Maker (1/1/94, p.76) - Ranked #7 in Melody Maker's list of the `Albums Of The Year' for 1993 - "...[an] astonishing return to form...achingly exquisite..."
Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked #40 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "[A] searing classic rock set awash with Mascis's endlessly inspired soloing..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] saw Mascis fruitfully channeling his fret histrionics through a set of consistently strong material that confirmed his ineffable gift for pop gnarl."
NME (Magazine) (2/6/93, p.30) - "...What was once a negative, going nowhere trend is now crackling with positivity...Feedback heroics split the album like lightning bolts...reminiscent of Neil Young's chord-slaughtering WELD..."

Title Note

Dinosaur Jr.: J Mascis (vocals, guitar, piano, organ, tympani, chimes, drums); Mike Johnson (bass, guitar, piano, background vocals); Murph (drums).

Additional personnel: Kurt Fedora (guitar); Larry Packer (violin); Dave Mason (viola); Rob Turner, Abbie Newton (cellos); George Berz (tambourine); Tiffany Anders (background vocals).

Recorded at Dreamland, Woodstock, New York.

Dinosaur Jr.'s baroque moment finds J. Mascis bringing in a string section and adding the occasional odd instrument himself to his band's power-trio splatter. But if Mascis is the Neil Young of the post-hard-core generation, that doesn't make WHERE YOU BEEN his HARVEST. Au contraire, it's still loaded with feedback squalls, distorted guitar solos and all other manner of electric melancholy. It does make WHERE YOU BEEN his most integrated pop moment, tipping the overall balance away from the sprawling noise and toward pop structure, offering some moments of sub-orchestral beauty.

"What Else Is New," a melodic rocker with its share of blues guitar leads, has a surprising two-minute coda that builds on a strummed acoustic guitar with a cello, then tympani, then a full string section. "Not The Same" is a ballad that seamlessly integrates those same elements with a gorgeously arpeggiated electric guitar motif, and a Young-like falsetto vocal.
