Okay, here we go. Best New Song In The World time. Are you ready? Here goes...
As reported earlier this month, fuzzy alternative rock legends Dinosaur Jr. have a new record called I Bet On Sky dropping September 18 via Jagjaguarwar. "I guess on this record, I wasn't as worried if we could play the songs live," J Mascis recently told Rolling Stone, "I guess that's what's kind of different about this album: I just did what I felt would sound good."

They've got first dibs on "Watch The Corners," our first preview taste of the new album. Give it a listen right here.
First thoughts?
Off the bat, love how thick and heavy the guitars sound versus how gentle and endearing Mascis' lead vocal is. It sounds a bit more melodic than anything on Beyond or Farm… no complaints here. It's got a great chorus hook, thick and sludgy riffs to spare and even a cool Black Sabbath-inspired acoustic breakdown towards the middle. Best part? That searing, out of control extended guitar solo freak-out at the end. Mmm.
What do you guys think of "Watch The Corners"? Leave some paw prints on our comments section below.
