Dinosaur Jr.'s I Bet on Sky is the third album from the reunited original trio of J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph, and their tenth studio album overall. Nearly three decades after their debut, the band sound as vital as ever.
Mascis delivers some of his fiercest guitar work, balancing blistering solos with hazy melodies, while Barlow's increasingly melodic bass playing anchors the songs without losing its ragged edge. His two vocal contributions add another dimension, and Murph's powerful, instinctive drumming holds everything together.
Mixing huge riffs, melodic songwriting and the unmistakable chemistry that has defined the band since the '80s, I Bet on Sky stands comfortably alongside the strongest records in Dinosaur Jr.'s catalogue.
