GREEN MIND (1991) is Dinosaur Jr.'s major-label debut, following five years on the esteemed indie SST. It's kind of surprising that the band made it to the majors at all, because the original lineup of guitarist/singer J. Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow, and drummer Murph had imploded quite publicly and viciously in 1989. Though Murph drums on three tracks and noise-scenester Don Fleming plays acoustic bass on one, GREEN MIND is almost entirely a one-man show. The results are surprisingly tuneful and assured, with the leadoff single "The Wagon" being the catchiest, poppiest song Mascis had delivered to that point. Elsewhere, "Puke and Cry" and the pummelingly hypnotic "Thumb" are as powerful as any of the noise-pop roars on indie releases like YOU'RE LIVING ALL OVER ME. Quite possibly the most consistent Dino Jr. album, GREEN MIND is a powerful and melodic grunge-pop nugget.|
