Sebadoh - III

This is such a good album that I have recently revisited after a long long lapse. I hadn't really sat down and listened to Sebadoh since my senior year of high school, and I am now kicking myself in the ass wondering why not? 

If you are not familiar with Sebadoh they are a lo-fi indie-rock band from the late 80's and early 90's featuring Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr. fame. Their 1993 album Bubble and Scrape was my first introduction to Sebadoh. Their first 2 albums are more folk influenced but while still maintaining a lo-fi 90's weirdness. III (their third album, duh) was released in 1992 and ventures out a bit more in their sound. I'll be honest, I don't love every song on this record. BUT, the really great tracks like "Truly Great Thing" and "Spoiled" more than make up for the tracks I could live without like "Smoke A Bowl" and their cover of "Wonderful, Wonderful." 


I really hope the fact that there is a track on this album called "Smoke A Bowl" doesn't actually stop anyone from downloading this album (although I couldn't blame you). It's good, I promise.

This album was reissued in 2006 with a bonus disc, so it totals at like 50 something songs. This is not that version. Sorry. (not really). This is just the regular '92 version. You might recognize the last track from the movie Kids.. Oh and speaking of Kids. Lou Barlow was also responsible for Folk Implosion. Just a little FYI, in case you didn't already know.
