To too many, Something With Numbers is considered the latest "hot" property of Australian rock, joining the ranks of other bands such as Gyroscope, After The Fall, Kisschasy, Eskimo Joe and Silverchair. To who think that, you couldn't be more incorrect in regards to the "latest hot property" aspect of the previously mentioned statement. But it's okay - it's hard to get any recognition in the public eye unless you're Nickelback releasing the same song with different lyrics, or Jennifer Lopez doing yet another remix of her earlier material.
Dinosaur Jr Beyond Liberation
Synergy can be defined as: 'a mutually advantageous conjunction where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts'. The return of the original three members to Dinosaur Jr (J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph) makes for a great example of synergy, as highlighted by J Mascis's lacklustre albums without these two guys as his muse. From the opening seconds of 'Beyond' and the predictable delight that is another brilliant Mascis guitar solo, to the re-emergence of Barlow and Murph as a powerful rhythm section, it is quite evident that the good old days of Dinosaur Jr are back. That is not to suggest that 'Beyond' is a journey into nostalgia; it instead just takes up where they left off.
