First issued in 2002 only in the States and Australia, ‘Ear
Bleeding Country’ is the only career-spanning
compilation of Dinosaur Jr.
Dinosaur Jr. are one of the most successful and
influential alternative guitar bands from America, and
fronted by laconic singer/guitarist
J. Mascis
, they’ve
enjoyed global success and inspired generations, from
Grunge onwards.
The first six tracks are drawn from the band’s early
career in the 1980s, when they recorded for
independent labels like Homestead and SST. Among
them are the classic single ‘Freak Scene’ and the follow-
up cover of
The Cure
’s ‘Just Like Heaven’.
Most of the compilation samples the best of Dinosaur
Jr.’s output after signing with Warner Bros in 1990,
including hit singles such as ‘The Wagon’, ‘Whatever’s
Cool With Me’, ‘Out There’, ‘Start Choppin’ and ‘Feel
The Pain’.
‘Ear Bleeding Country’ ends with ‘Where’d You Go’, a
track by J. Mascis’ post-Dinosaur Jr. band
The Fog
