...expectations around every Dinosaur Jr. album are, happily the same as ever: variations on the same things at which the band has always excelled. Mascis’ voice still quakes, perhaps more age-appropriately. Murph’s drums still explode with cymbal-work. Barlow’s bass still fills out each song with wall-like intensity. “Ocean In The Way” glides with the same freefalling, if more sedated grace of the vintage “Sludgefeast.” The more extended pieces, “Said The People?...

Like a well-deserved summer break, the album sees them do what they do best, showcasing screeching vocals and guitar against the unobtrusive, workmanlike backing of a rhythm section of keyboards, bass and drums.

A year later, he formed his first trio, with bass player Ernie Newton and rhythm guitarist Jim Atkins (the elder half brother of Chet Atkins, with whom Paul cut the 1995 album Chester and Lester). They went east, and the Les Paul Trio got a New York City club date. More than 70 years later, another Paul trio was playing...
