Review:
“A blitzkrieg fusion of hardcore punk, Sonic Youth-style noise freak-outs, heavy metal, and melodic hard rock in the vein of Neil Young, You’re Living All Over Me was a turning point in American underground rock & roll. With its thin, unbalanced mix, the album sounds positively menacing and edgy – Lou Barlow’s bass barrels forward over Murph’s clanking drums, with J Mascis’ guitar twisting pummeling riffs and careening, occasionally atonal solos. It established guitar heroics as a part of indie rock, bringing the noise of Sonic Youth into more conventional song structures” (Erlewine).
“Also, Mascis’ laconic, self-absorbed whine was a distinct departure from the furious post-hardcore rants, or the mumbling Michael Stipe imitations, that dominated indie rock. While the songwriting is occasionally uneven, the best moments of You’re Living All Over Me – Little Fury Things, Raisans, In a Jar, and Barlow’s proto-Sebadoh Poledo – retain their power, and it's possible to hear the record’s influence throughout alternative rock” (Erlewine).
