Reviews In Brief
Beyond is the resurgence of Dino Jr, after a 10 year respite, ringing in the start of a run of excellent releases. Their song writing showed conspicuous growth without losing indie purism. The full open power chords, the high pitched and energetic (dramatic) solos, crunchy punk metal moments and the slacker whiny vocals about emotional loss- it's all there, just slightly refined. Dino Jr earned the title as the grandfathers of the indie scene and with "Beyond" they demonstrated that they could evolve that to, maybe, the greatest alt-band ever.
