The post-punk progenitors of grunge return with their first release featuring the original line-up in 19 years - can they still hack it?

If this first single from upcoming album Beyond is anything to go by then we can be tentatively optimistic.

Been There All The Time is furiously fuzzy and firmly stuck in the early 90s scene that Dinosaur Jr. helped to spawn, which in this case is no bad thing.

Back To Your Heart is more worrying - certain black-clad teens might frown and sway to this with carefully-concealed delight, but the rest of us will probably find it fairly dreary.
