"I bet on sky" is the third album by Dinosaur Jr. when, in 2005, they returned to their original line-up consisting of J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. The tenth since they formed back in 1985. The first signs of a new album for the band to Ahmerst came last January, when Lou Barlow (which by the way the month of July, he released an EP with Sebadoh) announced via Twitter that Dinosaur Jr . had started to compose new songs.
"I bet on sky" is a typical record of J Mascis and members, with distorted guitars featured, powerful riffs and sounds typically lo-fi and it was so described by the band: "The guitar of J reaches its peak of madness on this album, grinding riffs that will make you fall in love, but above all shake their heads as they could. The lower Lou now has more melody, although his two songs in 'The Sky Bet On' keep the rhythm rougher who often distinguished his work. And Murph still affects the battery so strong and hard as a professional wrestler, with seemingly simple structures that manage to intertwine perfectly with the melodic outbursts of his companions. "
