Dinosaur Jr., Green Mind
The celebrated Massachusetts rock band’s first album after the departure of bassist Lou Barlow and debut for a major label (Sire Records), Green Mind takes roughly 1.3 seconds to hit cruising altitude. Relatively slept-on compared to late-’80s efforts Bug and You’re Living All Over Me, as well as 1994’s Without A Sound, Green Mind is bookended by two essential J Mascis compositions: the forceful opening of “The Wagon” and the tumble-mad title track.
Released: February 19, 1991
