Dinosaur Jr. – You’re Living All Over Me

Released in 1987, Dinosaur Jr.’s “You’re Living All Over Me” marked a turning point for the American alternative rock band. It built upon the foundation laid by their debut album, offering a more refined version of their signature sound. The album is characterized by Lou Barlow’s distinct drawling vocals, interwoven with J Mascis’s loud, distorted guitar riffs and driving rhythms.

While maintaining the raw energy of their earlier work, “You’re Living All Over Me” showcased a band beginning to experiment and push boundaries. The album incorporated elements of various genres, including indie rock, noise rock, and even hints of what would later become known as grunge. This experimentation, along with the band’s powerful and emotional delivery, helped solidify their place as one of the leading alternative rock bands of the late 1980s and beyond.
