Dinosaur is the debut album by Dinosaur Jr, released in 1985. The album exhibits little bit of a folkier side of the band than on future releases, but some of the tracks on the album showed off a much heavier side to the band in songs such as "Does it Float", "Mountain Man", and "Bulbs of Passion". The 2005 Merge reissue features extensive liner notes and photos as well as a bonus track of "Does It Float" performed live with "Bulbs of Passion" Moved to the First track.
