"Just Like Heaven" Is Worth The Price Al
, June 4, 2002Reviewer:
Paul - See all Paul's reviews Fossils is a little over-priced for an EP, and You're Living All Over Me is the best place for new Dinosaur Jr. fans to start, but Fossils is still worth it, if only for the fantastic cover of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven." And I do think it pays tribute to the Cure and is not intended as some kind of sarcastic, cruel jab at the band. The death-metal chorus, J.'s guitar solo in place of the keyboard solo in the original, and the distortion are all genius, and Dinosaur creates one of the greatest cover songs ever. The first three tracks are fantastic, especially the essential "Little Fury Things," but you can find them all on You're Living All Over Me. "Freak Scene" is fantastic, but also on the Bug album so the only hard finds are the Just Like Heaven single and "Keep The Glove." If you don't already own the original singles, then get this, but if you already have every conceivable Dinosaur Jr. record, Fossils is not necessary. ...

Pro Reviews: Fossils
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews A brief, eight-song compilation of the group's SST singles, Fossils effectively sums up the power and vision of Dinosaur Jr.'s early work. Not only does it contain the two masterpieces from You're Living All Over Me and Bug -- "Little Fury Things" and "Freak Scene," respectively -- but it also gathers several excellent B-sides, including sardonic covers of Peter Frampton's "Show Me the Way" and the Cure's "Just Like Heaven," making it an excellent retrospective of Dinosaur's influential and erratic indie recordings. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
