You're Living All Over Me
The breakthrough: pop songs played through hardcore volume and feedback, and an influence on My Bloody Valentine and a generation of indie rock.

Mascis called Wharton Tiers the first producer who was sympathetic to the band; the record was made at Tiers's Fun City studio in New York and at Pine Tracks in Massachusetts. Murph remembered Mascis as unrelenting, dictating exact drum parts; Barlow sings two of his own songs, Lose and Poledo, and Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo adds backing vocals to Little Fury Things. Early pressings say Dinosaur on the cover; later ones, after the lawsuit, Dinosaur Jr.
NME called them the missing link between Hüsker Dü and R.E.M., and Pitchfork's 2005 review of the reissue gave it 9.1. Mascis considers it the band's best album. It is in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and the subject of a 33 1/3 book.
