Dinosaur Jr. Studio Albums Ranked | Alternative Indie Rock | Vinyl Community | J Mascis | Sebadoh

[@juiceheadtodd]

Farm ranked 12th is incomprehensible to me. We must have very different tastes.

[@DrOktober]

And that is a good thing! Imagine if we all liked the same things. Farm is a great album, i like it a lot.

[@icolasnay]

Farm is arguably their best work post-reunion. Listen to it 10 more times, on 10.

[@sdfsdfsdfsdgg]

Love Farm

[@DrOktober]

Farm is very good! They all are good! haha Cheers

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

So.. thanks again for showing Dino Jr. Your number #1 is way cool.. "Kracked into "Sludgefeast" is absolutely radically great ! Have a good evening, Mika..

[@DrOktober]

Thanks Jt for watching this! Dinos are one of my favorite bands and it was fun to think of the order. There isn’t a bad album so it was hard. Cheers to you kind Sir

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@@DrOktober Green Mind is great too.. too tough to choose. I think you nailed the order of worst to best, except there is no worst with Dino Jr.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Love J Mascis and Dino Jr. !! "Where You Been" is a favorite ! Rad guitar riff on "Out There", for sure.. "Start Choppin" is cool too. Love "Without A Sound" as well.. Cherry Red Huh..That early Dinosaur LP is way cool. Oh yeah.. Reunion, forgot about that. "Green Mind" rules.. only have it on CD. Oh yeah.. "Bug" super duper great !! Excellent pick on "You're Living All Over Me" sooo good Mika, awesome.. this is gonna get expensive dude ! Haha !!!

[@harryzlotzlottos5715]

Seen them live down my way in 95.... Huge sound for a three piece band ! Thanks Mika 👍

[@DrOktober]

Indeed they create a huge sound. I saw them live on their reunion tour in 2007 and my ears were ringing for days! Thanks for watching Harry! Kippis

[@jcrockandmetalreviews]

Great video, a lot of these albums I have never heard. I've only heard where you been and the new one so I will definitely check out some of the others.

[@DrOktober]

Thanks John! Especially the records after 1992 (where you been LP) you will most likely dig because they are quite similar. Thanks for watching

[@sunrise5494]

Farm and Glimpse are top 5 for me tbh. 1. YLAOM 2. Hand it Over (Bonus 2.5 More Light) 3. Green Mind 4. Bug 5. Glimpse 6. Farm 7. Dinosaur 9. Sweep It Into Space (Bonus 9.5 Free So Free) 10. I Bet On Sky (Bonus 10.5 Whatever's Cool With Me) 11. Where You Been 12. Without a Sound 13. Beyond

[@DrOktober]

Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing your list! Much appreciated. At the end of the day, as I have said here in a response to many others, there is no crap album. It’s fun and interesting to see how different everyone’s lists are. I.e., you have The Beyond at the bottom. I had it ranked pretty high in my list. I love that one. Maybe helps it too that I saw them live on that reunion tour and they kicked ass. They always do though haha! Cheers

[@sunrise5494]

@@DrOktober Fair, I got into them with Give A Glimpse of What Yr Not so that is ranked high. Plus, I saw them live this past year with Sweep It Into Space so Im a little biased hawhaw

[@everycloud7144]

Farm is my favourite dinosaur album, just gets better with listens.

[@DrOktober]

@@everycloud7144 Even though it was last on my list, it’s a great record. Dino jr has not made a stinker album. Cheers

[@cloudymildermetalmogul]

Great video, I've not listened to any DrJr for many years, I lost touch with them after Hand It Over. Green Mind is probably my favourite album, but Freak Scene is one of my all time favourite songs of all time ever (it's that good!). This was a great trip down memory lane for me!

[@DrOktober]

Hey Andy! Thanks for watching. After hand it over i think the breakup/hiatus lasted about 10 years and if you give a listen to Beyond, the return LP it’s like there was no break between 😀 one of my fav bands for sure. Freak Scene IS one of the best songs written ever🤝✊ cheers

[@paulphoenix1669]

I've only listened to: Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me, Bug and Without a Sound. Love all of them but my fav is definitely You're Living All Over Me. Great to see some love for the debut, some killer tracks on it! I listened to a bit of Farm and liked what i heard. Became obsessed with these guys about a month and a half ago. Kind of put of by their 90s output because i love Lou Barlow so much. But I will give them a listen Great video man!

[@DrOktober]

Thanks Paul for watching and commenting! And for subscribing🤝 Lou Barlow’s Sebadoh is cool as is his solo stuff, really digging that. I don’t think Dino Jr has put out a bad album. It was tough putting this together but as a whole album, I could pretty easily decide that Farm is my personal least favorite. Still many good songs in it! Always liked the debut album. Surprisingly many fans do not! Thanks again, take care man. Cheers, Mika

[@paulphoenix1669]

@@DrOktober sebadoh are very good yeah,Barlow is a genius

[@kilokilo4790]

Very good job explaining the different records. My favorite is Hand It Over but this is still a great list.

[@DrOktober]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Glad you liked it. Cheers🤝

[@SteviesVinyl]

Great stuff Mika, I know of them but never gave them anytime and passed me by, so will dip my toe in and will follow tour judgement cheers for sharing brother 🤘🍺🤘

[@DrOktober]

Thanks brother! Bug and You're Living All Over Me are great records to start with. Cheers

[@alexisflores7066]

I also ranked their albums and my top 3 are the same as yours i love that lol

[@DrOktober]

Haha great! Thanks for watching Alexis. Wishing you a good weekend. Cheers - Mika

[@stevewestman7774]

Neat stuff. 👍❤️

[@DrOktober]

Thank you Steve for watching!🤝🍻

[@beganny]

Farm is their #2 or #3 best album. At least you got #1 right!!!

[@DrOktober]

Hahaha thanks! I ve noticed that many people put Farm way higher than I did on this list. Well its a great record no question about it. That’s why it sucks too to put these lists together cause one of them has to be the ‘worst’…i love all em Dino albums!

[@AlexanderWitchfinder]

Great video! Not sure if I would agree that Farm and Give a Glimpse would be the least, I guess that "See You" from Farm and "Be A Part" from Give are two of my favorite songs by them (which already qualifies it to be among my favorite songs of all times) - it always puts my mood right on spot. Anyways, my Top3 is the same as yours. Poledo is the most WTF and enjoyable song they ever recorded in my opinion. Cheers, Mika!

[@DrOktober]

Thank you Alex! Those are great songs indeed you mentioned. Truthfully none of these albums are bad. But to me when Farm came out I just thought it was nowhere near as good as Beyond and so I kinda lost interest to that record for some years. Later on it has grown more onto me. I just think it is their weakest album as a whole. Check the song Whatevers Cool With Me if you haven’t heard. Some double bass drumming on that one 😀 which is something that you wouldn’t expect from Dino! Cheers and thanks for watching

[@ioncewasmikey]

Be A Part is awesome. I really like the sound of the production on Give A Glimpse too, to me it sounds a little more raw & closer to the original 3 than the other reunion albums.

[@jlu2294]

Farm is in my opinion, easily the best post reunion album. Interesting to see your different perspective. I am a fan of every album though, just surprised to see it at the bottom of your list!

[@DrOktober]

Hello! Thank you for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it! Farm is a very good album with couple of absolute killer tracks, but for whatever reason that one as a whole has never stuck with me🤷🏻‍♂️ The Beyond was for me the perfect comeback record and they haven’t topped that one, yet. And I agree with you 100%, i am a fan of all their records💪 Cheers

[@blender1188]

I agree, Farm rules, the albums after that kinda suck. Nothing beats You’re living all over me.

[@graphicalaffairs]

Give a Glimpse is 11!!!??? This is a fav of mine of the reunion albums. I'd rank that next to their 1st reunion album. Wow. Totally surprising. To each is own though.

[@DrOktober]

I know right!! If you asked me now the list would be slightly different hahaha. Oh well. The pointlessness of these videos.

[@robertschobesberger6300]

nice list... regarding the sound quality of "farm" ... i don't know about the viniyl... but the cd was botched in the first pressing... they somehow managed to get the wrong remaster... you could write to the company to get a replacement disc ... still not a audiophile highlight but much better...

[@DrOktober]

I don’t honestly remember now as of writing this what was with the sound hahah! Farm is a great record still even if it’s at the bottom of my list. Stellar albums all of them. They have yet to release a stinker if you ask. Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it, cheers!

[@vinylrichie007]

I like the first few. Haven’t heard much else.

[@DrOktober]

Thanks for watching! The later albums do sound quite different to the first few but still really good melodic noisy indie rock.

[@Harrispilton22]

Nice one Mika. I’ll be honest ‘Farm’ top 4 for me ‘Said The People’ is fantastic. Then You’re Living all Over Me’ ‘Where You Been’ & ‘Bug’ number 1! I can’t get on with the debut at all, apart from ‘Severed Lips’ which Is my favourite Dinosaur Tune’I’d love to find ‘Take A Run At The Sun’ on 12” single..absolute classic.

[@DrOktober]

Hey Harris! So I remembered correct that Bug was your top1😀 But you know that your opinion is now obsolete after you watched my ranking video. That is how it works 😜 take a run at the sun is a masterpiece. Its on one of the reissues I showed in the video. Thats the main reason I bought them because of all the single b side tracks and what not. Thanks for watching mate

[@Harrispilton22]

@@DrOktober completely revising my opinion as we speak.

[@Indonesiansurftravel]

Wow you ranked "where you been" low, it's a very very close second for me, im really digging the new album. 1. YLAOM 2. Where you been 3. Green Mind 4. Bug 5. Beyond 6. Sweep 7. Without a sound 8 Give a glimpse 9. I bet on Sky 10. Farm 11. Dinosaur 12. Hand it over

[@DrOktober]

Thanks for watching and commenting! :) Really appreciate it. It's always fun and interesting to see how other people would rank the records so thanks for sharing your list. Ranking Dino Jr albums is a tough task to do. Well the top 3 was relatively easy for me but the rest was harder. I always look at the albums Without A Sound, Where You Been and Hand It Over as some sort of a trilogy set :) They're done pretty quickly one after the other and therefore sound quite similar. This was the time when Dino Jr really was a one-man band, to some extent (Mike Johnson did play bass I think on most of them but there were quite a few other visiting guest artists too). I don't know...I love Where You Been but as a whole it does not match against Hand It Over or Without A Sound, in my humble opinion of course. Out There - song is one of my all time favorite Dino Jr songs but the album is not as consistent like the other two aforementioned albums. I almost put Hand It Over even over Without A Sound...! And I see you rank that one last but like said earlier it's fun to see how others rankings look like. Alone and Sure Not Over you are my favorite songs on Hand It Over. I also like Sweep It Into Space quite a lot. Maybe that would get higher in my list if, let's say more time had passed and it would have gotten even more play time but I didn't want to wait anymore in making this :) Farm is a good record, couple of excellent songs but otherwise compared to their other albums, it's not that great. Again, in my humble opinion only. Surprised to see how many is not ranking their debut higher. Many of my friends also think it's not a great record but I have always liked it very much. Granted on that one they are still searching for their sound. Thanks again for watching! Cheers - Mika

[@Indonesiansurftravel]

@@DrOktober I think peoples list also have a lot to do with at what point people got into a band and nostalgia around that album and memory of that period live. For me "Where your been" was where i got into them and then I worked my way backwards, i was a bit disappointed when "without a sound came out" and then never really got into "Hand it over" as was more into other bands then fell back in love with Dino in the reform years. It's weird with the ST album, Without a sound and Hand it over, they either seem to be albums people rank high or very low, but rarely in between. Most people agree on YLAOM though as number one :D J also ranks Hand it over very high www.vice.com/en/article/3bdx8k/rank-your-records-dinosaur-jr-j-mascis But This list is very close to mine :D glidemagazine.com/168277/worst-best-albums-ranking-ages-dinosaur-jr-list/

[@DrOktober]

Thanks man! I agree with you 100% on the nostalgia part and when did you get into them. When I first heard Dino Jr, I believe Without A Sound was the latest record, so that's why I guess I love it so much :) Thanks for the links too! Cheers

[@burningbothbinaries9889]

"where you been" at number 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dude...

[@DrOktober]

Hahaha. Opinions are like buttholes, they all stink 😉

[@juanpablorb7150]

Great video man! How do you compare the Cherry Red reissues to the originals?? Specifically Green Mind and Hand it Over??

[@DrOktober]

Thank you for watching! I don't own Hand It Over original pressing so can't give my thoughts on that. However, Green Mind and Without A Sound are great sounding reissues in my opinion. Not very much difference between them and the originals to be honest. The reissues perhaps a little bit louder but not too loud to give distortion or other issues. The original pressings were already superb sounding but I think the reissues are definitely worth picking up if you're considering it. For a casual fan maybe not worth the price... I enjoy the bonus songs on them since there are many single b-side songs. Cheers to you man!

[@juanpablorb7150]

@@DrOktober Thanks for the reply man! I found a copy of the GREEN MIND Cherry Red reissue for 30 EUROS on discogs and I bought it immediately haha. You get the original album + a lot of GREAT extra tracks (Including the epic David Bowie cover of "Quicksand") + live songs --> I'm IN haha. In my opinion the best 90s album by them!

[@medusenbrut]

Bug ‎Where You Been Green Mind

[@DrOktober]

Great top 3. I am certain I have had days when that was my top 3 too! 😀 I used to listen to Where You Been a lot in the 90s but after so many new records ever since the album as a whole is not in my opinion a match to some of the later ones. Cheers and thanks for watching🍻

Without a doubt my favorite band. Have been for more than a decade now. Here's how I'd rank the albums: 1. YLAOM 2. Where You Been 3. Beyond 4. Farm 5. Give a Glimpse 6. Dinosaur 7. Bug 8. Green Mind 9. Bet on Sky 10. Hand it Over 11. Without a Sound 12. Sweep it into Space

@@DrOktober thanks for making the video! After commenting, I read through others thoughts and I agree that whenever you started listening is where you grow an attachment. I started in the Farm era so I hold that higher than you, it seems. You in that mid 90s so higher than me. But like always, every Dinosaur fan agrees it's YLAOM at the top. Again, thanks for the video!

I agree farm is the worst but wow if thats your worst album your doing something right cause farm is great

[@DrOktober]

I think Farm just wasn't up to par with i.e. The Beyond. So when Farm was released after The Beyond, it was sorta lackluster. But again, like you say, Farm is a very good album. No stinkers in the bands discography, which is a rare thing! One of my favorite bands of all time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers
