Historians of the over-hyped Generation X take note. What is perhaps the quote of the era has arrived, and it's not borrowed or cliched. The opening track of Dinosaur Jr.'s newest, WITHOUT A SOUND, embraces the standard of apathy that young America lives by in the imaginations and on the covers of national news magazines. "I feel the pain of everyone," admits frontman J. Mascis, "then I feel nothing."
As usual, Dinosaur Jr. marries Mascis' stifled Neil Young whine to his barrage of electric power chords and acoustic meanderings. Utilizing a mixture of proper concern for his peers and a disenfranchised intolerance for his generation's reputation, the album is not without insights into the 1990s.
WITHOUT A SOUND doesn't stop at sociological patter. From the quiet, self-analytical moments on the single "Feel The Pain," it slips into the ear-splitting feedback drenched guitar on "Grab It." WITHOUT A SOUND is Mascis' newest sampling of cultural immersion.

Professional Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (9/16/94, p.120) - "...If this Smurf look-alike has become God to a new, grungeful people, it's thanks to the soaring emotion that flies from his guitar..." - Rating: B+

Option (11-12/94, p.97) - "...is not Dinosaur's definitive release. Yet there are those blistering guitar solos, that lonely, aching falsetto, that grungy disquietude straight out of ON THE BEACH. It is great."

Musician (8/94, p.85) - "...Mascis comes across as someone who wants to appear not to care too much, while at the same time worrying that this bogus detachment may become genuine....Fortunately, Mascis is in fine form..."
