Sometimes experiments just don't work. We can see it was an experiment, respect the experimenters for their attempt to explore new things, record it as an experiment, then move on to better things.
Would rather listen to white noise.
그냥 락이야
Seemed similar to early Beck, the glue-sniffing years. Not bad, I'll try to come back to this and listen again
i liked this one. lot
Low fi indie rock who's lyrics made me think the writer was a prick.
Meaningless. music of zero consequence.
En suuri fani lyhyille biiseille -> paljon biisejä levyllä konsptista. Ihan ok settiä osa biiseistä.
Too dissonant for me. This is really "landfill indie" in a unique way - you could tell me the instruments Sebadoh used were made with recycled materials and I would believe you.
Nah.
I really wanted this to be a better album. I tried listening to it 3 times and each time it was wholly unmemorable. When I would go "Ooh, I like this", the album had ended and Spotify had rolled over to another artist. This happened more than once. I really try to give all albums a fair shot. This one just isn't going to be on my likes list. Sorry. :(
dull, dull, dull, about as interesting as a dishcloth, gave up after track 4
1992 huh, just after the fall of the Soviet union huh, CIAs quality control starting to dgaf huh
Please stop with these sad boy rock bands, it ain't it chief. Low 2
It was okay. I liked tracks from their later albums. Where the fuck do they get these albums from and what made them go oh yeah people need to listen to this before they die. Did they just go with 1001 albums and think oh shit now we have to actually list 1001. Hopefully that’s the only 2 Lo fi rock albums. Tough few days but we persist.
If I was a kid in the 90s I would've fallen in love with Lou Barlow. The second I saw his face I recognized he's Jewish. What a queen.
mmm no
That 90's distorted guitar sound that I love, but the songs are too muted for my taste. Still a solid listen, and one I'll return to.
There are many -- many -- one-star songs on this album, Just enough three-star mediocrity to get out of the cellar.
I am fairly certain this came from “Bizarro Nirvana” from an alternate universe
Some really nice guitar work, certain songs stood out more than others, overall pretty good
Not really sure what this album is doing here.
Not for me.
I was really bored by this one. Sadly, too much indie shit on this list as it is.
some parts i hated and then at times i learnt to love those parts
This album has a strong, STRONG discordant sound. Which I'm sure is done on purpose, but it does make the songs a bit harder to listen to. I have a hard time seeing how this is supposed to be influential as well. That being said, Sister is a very strong song, more punk-like, that I vibe with a lot more. It reminds me of PUP a lot, a band that I love.
Not for me
Nope. Nothing really to listen to here. Singing not that great and musically it kinda feels like paint thrown at wall.
first time listening to homemade, it made me reflect on being raped and the emotional and mental recovery that i've had to go through since then, and how i've managed come to terms with sex again since it happened. then i listened to it a second time and realized it was about jacking off lmao.
very nice listen. raw sound, pleasant vocals. good mix of songs, some raw/angry, cool melodic ones (Sacred Attention, maybe a bit shoegazy even), some quiet too (Think). If you like Sonic Youth and such, that'll be a great find
While I may not listen to this album again any time soon, it is a fine album. The lo-fi production, lyrics of heartbreak, and energy are interesting. The big issue ai have is that... we'll, this album is outclassed by many similar albums. Pavement's discography beats Sebadoh to a pulp in this regard and, if we are to mention albums not on the list, it feels like Weezer's Pinkerton did everything this album tried to do but better. I wouldn't say this album is necessarily integral to a list like this, but for what it is, it's fine. Nothing odious but nothing special either. Highlights are Two Years Two Days, and Elixir is Zog.
Well, it was really creative and pretty at times. The banshee screaming was not very enjoyable and pretty annoying, but the emotional moments like Cliche and Homemade are really inviting to me.
2/5
Meh
Generic and boring
Bubble & Scrape were Len Houmous’ 4th and 8th children. Over time they’ve narrowed their mom down to one of 5 potential women. 2.1 1/17 Soul & Fire
The American whine strikes again. Sounds like Elliot Smith trying to make a Guided By Voices album. Could have maybe got into this at 15, but no real time to put the effort in at 39.
Some songs were very good, but some songs were also very bad! 17 songs on an album is a lot of songs. My brain can't cope.
Hearing the first song I thought I was going to like this. Then the rest of the songs happened. They alternated between ok and not so good.
Aika tasapaksu levy. Ei oikeastaan jäänyt mitään erityistä mieleen.
Jesus wept. That was shit.
2.7 2x
Eine eher unbekannte Band. Aber angenehmer Indie-Rock. Abwechslungsreich, teils nachdenklich/schwermütig. 3/5
Yeah, not sure about this one. It's either brilliant or a mess. I say that sardonically. Sometimes it sounds like they have no idea what they are doing, but they clearly do. This seems more like an album to study than to listen to while working or whatnot.
This is so odd to me, they win me over one track just to immediately lose me. It does a few things well, then follows up by doing those things poorly. The net effect is... meh... Track 1 is fire though. 2.5/5
Up my 90s era alley. Meant to be played loud.
Kind of typical 90's indie, but still good in spite of that. Solid 4 Stars.
I’m at a 4.5 that I’ll bump down to a 4. At first, I really wondered what this was doing on the list – I’ve never heard of Sebadoh, so at face value, this just seemed like another random indie rock pick for the ‘90s. As it turns out, one of the founding members of this band is Lou Barlow, the former bassist for Dinosaur Jr. who left after the release of “Bug”. That connection does reframe a few of these tracks on this album to my mind, especially so on “Cliche”, which feels like it might be about his choice to leave Dinosaur Jr, though that’s a slightly loose link. Even without that connection though, which I didn’t realize until “Cliche”, I was definitely into the album. I enjoyed most of the first 6 tracks, save for “Telecosmic Alechemy”, the first of a couple of intentionally ‘drunk’ songs on the album, at least to my ears. It’s not a bad track, and it’s certainly interesting – the looser instrumental approach & the disjointed nature of the track piques the interest, though for my tastes, I think it’s just not a very appealing track from a musical standpoint. I think there are 4 ‘drunk’ tracks on the album; “Telecosmic Alechemy”, “Elixir is Zog”, “No Way Out”, & “Flood”. They all stick out as fitting within that looser style, and I do think being drunk is mentioned in all of their lyrics. Out of those 4, only the last one really clicked for me musically, and it’s just because it feels like a super open & free way to end what’s mostly a sadder album. Of the other 13 tracks here, I enjoyed 11 of them – all of them seem to be centered around relationship issues (both for family & romance), chronically cheating, the perils of drug use, or the struggle to maintain a relationship in the healthiest possible way. Some of these tracks feel like they’re centered around the dopamine of getting ‘revenge’ after a breakup, which feels even more potent in a social media era where those moments are more commonplace. The only two tracks I didn’t really vibe with were “Emma Get Wild” (just super short) & “Bouquet For a Siren”, which just feels like it tackles the same subject matter as “Forced Love”, though much less care & morality behind it. Everything else ranges from good to great, with my biggest highlight here being “Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)”. The acoustic approach just really worked for me. So, why bump it down to a 4? Well, 3 of the 4 ‘drunken’ tracks, for as much as they serve a narrative point towards the more spirally side of a messy breakup, just don’t feel as put together & as musically pleasing as the rest of the album. Past that, from the other 13 tracks, there are points where the lyricism seems to make no sense, some rather abrupt fadeouts, & for as much as I like the soundscape as a toned down continuation of Dinosaur Jr.’s more aggressive style, I can’t help but feel like it settles into instrumental breaks just a little too often. They serve to fill out the album, & they’re not a big deal, but you do start to feel them the longer the album goes. To put it another way, this album just doesn’t flow as cohesively as I’d like it to – I understand that the chaos & the ability to jump from calm to manic on a dime is part of the “bubble & scrape” of it all, but in actual execution, the album just feels a little too disjointed as a complete start to finish package. Hence, a 4.5 bumped down to a 4, but one I’d still gladly recommend. It could definitely go up to a 5 on another day, especially if the ‘drunk’ tracks click a little more nicely & flow a bit better to my ears. I’m certainly glad it’s on the list, and I really disagree with the 2.65 this thing has on the site. It’s a quality album, even if it is a bit disjointed.
picks: soul and fire, think
Not bad.
I love some of these tracks individually and have great memories of them coming onto indie radio shows, cutting through the fey, the poppy, the melancholic mix with something quirky and yet consistently distinctive. Unfortunately, listening to these tracks in sequence is underwhelming and can't muster the enthusiasm of my youth 2.75
I kept waiting for something to click, but it never did. I hear a lot of influence from other bands. Its almost like background Nirvana.
So I missed these guys when they seemed to be quite popular in their day. Not sure i would've loved them. This record has a lot of interesting aspects and is a great window into 2010's indie garage noise. But I feel its to frenetic and aimless as a body of work
A little too rough around the edges for me.
I found this one pretty inconsistent listening. At times I was thinking ‘this is pretty good’ only to be thinking ‘what the hell is this crap’ a few minutes later, sometimes within the same song. The style seemed all over the place. 2.5 rounded down
First good song and there's nothing more to it.
I didn't enjoy anything about this, except maybe it ending. It wasn't even interesting enough to rant about really. Boring and tedious, it tried hard and failed.
Not one I’d heard before, but it’s good. Feels like it could grow on me (rather than show on me???). Favourite track: Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)
This is one of those rare joyful mornings where I know absolutely nothing about what I’m pressing play on except that it came out in 1993; one of the most monumental years in my music lifetime. Still, the fact that I’ve never heard (of) this record might be some ‘Chekhov’s obscurity’ type of foreshadowing. And sure enough, “Fantastic Disaster” (track 4) takes a turn into some strange territory. But the next track, “Happily Divided” pulls us firmly back into the ‘grunge band owns acoustic guitars’ wheelhouse of 1993; I wish it had any kind of hook I could latch onto. Actually, now that I think about it, I could say that about every track so far. It’s wild to think of bands like Nirvana as pop or mainstream, but compared to this, they did manage to pump out a bunch of hooky, chartable songs. Part of me appreciates that avant-punk aspect of this Sebadoh record, but part of me is disappointed to not uncover a hidden gem here. I think the real strength of this album may be its contrast to everything else happening in the early 90s. There are SO MANY moments here where you could be listening to a Nirvana record, but a moment later it's very clear you are not. Much like my feelings about Pixies and Fugazi, I want to like this more than I do. And I can't say I even like it as much as offerings from either of those bands. "Soul And Fire" "Happily Divided" "Homemade"
No
I can respect when post-60s albums (that, importantly, are not punk-affiliated) are long but consist entirely of very short tracks. It pays homage to the origins of album-based pop music without that era's stylistic and technological developments tying it down. Bubble And Scrape peaks at the very beginning with Soul And Fire, which is better-produced than any later tracks. From then on, everything sounds messier and sort of thrown together, a series of half-thought bagatelles imitating other music of the time. The music is not explicitly bad for most of its runtime, but it pales in comparison to other rock releases from the early 90s. Two Years Two Days sobers you up after the laid-back, reasonably catchy opening track, being kind of soft-rock-apocalyptic. A bit of a mismatch. And from there, we get a deliberately odd, slightly off-kilter mood for the next several songs. Telescopic Alchemy, Fantastic Disaster (the out-of-tune vocals make this a complete miss for me), Happily Divided (heavily mumbled)... After this point, some songs qualify as highlights, but most are neutral-to-"meh" or worse. Sacred Attention qualifies as a highlight. Feels like an early Talking Heads (or adjacent) tune – great thick texture, multiple contrasting sections, and a punky guitar line+tone. Bouquet For A Siren, amidst various other fairly bad tracks, at least tries to sound like a good existing song (Lake of Fire, by the Meat Puppets). The average quality of the album's final few tracks skyrockets with the excellent acoustic track Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) which, despite the spelling mistake, is so darn perfect. Sebadoh hits their absolute peak in song composition here. But it doesn't salvage the album from a low rating, courtesy of the numerous poor tracks (including the subsequent/final track Flood, which is like the Dizzy Miss Lizzy to this album's Yesterday. Shameful). Somewhere between a 2 and a 3. I'll bump it up to a 3 because the album art is cool and confusing. 3/5 Key tracks: Soul And Fire, Sister, Sacred Attention, Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)
It's one of those albums I don't know why they are on the list. Early 90s American indie/lo fi but none of the songs stuck in my mind or were enjoyable enough.
Willingly making your album sound like crap as an artistic statement still makes your album sound like crap.
When I started listening to this I thought it sounded a lot like Dinosaur Jr. Turns out there’s at least one member of Dinosaur Jr in this band so that tracks. It was a pretty good album, but to me it was just like Dinosaur Jr without J. Mascis, so not as good. Still a solid album with some cool songs. The songs that used dissonance were my favorite.
Необычный, но местами приятный альбом
Nirvana + radiohead + lo-fi
Boring
As I was listening I was like, "this feels very Sub Pop" and low and behold.
Excellent stroll down memory lane with this one. Definitive Indie rock.
14yo me would LOVE this
Pure, alternative indie-rock. Sebadoh may not be household names, but only because they liked it better that way.
I have no words. Garage rock I guess
Sebadoh’s always a bit of an odd prospect for me as a Massachusetts indie rocker. I can hear the magic and wonder of being off on your own in West Mass making your own version of Rock Music and not hewing to conventions. It’s an intoxicating experience, even if you can barely write a note. But Barlow and Loewenstein's songwriting hadn’t matched the aesthetic and vice versa in these early days. Which would change within a year.
This is up there with the worst so far. A tough listen. The first track promised inoffensive but dull grungy rock but it went downhill and subsequently lost all tunefulness and what little charm it started with. The main issues are threefold: firstly, the songs just aren't good - it sounds like a distinctly average college band who make noise for the sake of it. Second, his voice. It's two-dimensional and very boring. Third, the lyrics of 'Homemade' gave me the biggest ick. Hard no
Talk about an album keeping you on your toes. The first two tracks were great, the first was magnificent even. Then it dropped off, I wrote in my notes regarding track 4 “Is this shit on purpose?” but as it developed it was a decent track. The quality on this album oscillates between shit and brilliant with some mid thrown in there. On reflection it might just be the mood whiplash between these songs but if I can’t tell the difference between the two then it’s likely that I just didn’t enjoy it that much. I find it hard to give this a 3 because I actually quite enjoyed the songs on here that I thought were good but alas, the album overall just didn’t hit the spot for me. Highlights: Soul and Fire, Homemade, Think (Let Tomorrow Be)
Nirvana/Radiohead
Heard Before? Sure have, although it didn't make as much of an impression on me as III or Bakesale. Notes: - I don't always go in for strum-and-hum sadboi ballads, but "Think" was lovely. - scummy, vivid, tape-hissy production is just right. - front half is a little guitar-wanky for me. I would rather hear song-experimentation. - multiple vocalists is always a magic secret for making a good band great. Verdict: Energetic stylistic-collage rock. Perfectly encapsulates the 90s dirty slacker ethos. Listen Again? Maybe. I saved a few songs for later.
4/10… grunge / 90s indie / *1993
I was thinking 'this sounds like Dinosaur Jr' and then looked it up and WHAT DO YOU KNOW. Also you can tell Modest Mouse came up around this time too. Good thing I like both of those bands!
Had its moments. Most of which were bad.
++: Telecosmic Alchemy, Fantastic Disaster +: Soul and Fire, Emma Get Wild, No Way Out, Bouquet for a Siren, Flood +-: Two Years Two Days, Sacred Attention, Elixir Is Zog, Sixteen -: Happily Divided, Sister, Cliche, Homemade, Forced Love --: Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) 2,8/10
It is quite incredible what a trio of squabbling, misanthropic young men can do. Quite an intriguing album. The experimentation and evident struggle has its fascination. It falls somewhat short of greatness, however.
Interesting sound but found it hard to listen too. Bland vocals sometimes but cool instrumentals. Not for me.
Holy 90s indie rock sounding guitars. The slow tempo and beat is already a huge part of the genre from this time period but that distorted guitar brings me back really hard. That being said I feel like I have heard bands like this many times before and maybe its my nostalgia talking but others have done it better.
Started our kind of strong and was really reminiscent of the alt rock to follow it 10 years later, but as they album continued you could tell there was a lot of "fucking around" to make the songs. Really lost me as I was digging into it and the worst outcome (seeing when the album will finish) occurred.
I really liked about half of this album. The slow, dirty guitars and melodies were right up my street, whilst the yelling completely put me off. Still good though.
Solid. Had not otherwise been familiar
In the very short times where he actually sings and doesn’t just moan and gran and complain it’s actually not too bad, but the lead vocals completely derail all musicality that this project could have
Indie rock, pretty hit or miss though. This "shitty-on-purpose" approach just doesn't work well for me. Guitars are the highlight, but everything else is subpar.
Look up 'indie rock' in the dictionary and it has an album cover from Sebadoh in there. Look up 'indie rocker' and you've got Lou Balow. I can get why this would turn some people off, but for me this is a lovely album. I really like the experimentation on every song and you don't know what you're going to get from song to song.
um álbum dificil pra conhecer uma banda que tem álbuns sonoramente mais tranquilos MAS PRA QUEM GOSTA esse aqui é o bruto puta merda te amo lou barlow barulheira e guitarrada com gravação duvidosa é o motivo pelo qual eu vivo
forte DEMAIS não eh o mais recomendável deles pra se ouvir de primeira, nem o que eu mais gostei. PORÉM É SÓ PEDRADA LO-FI GUITARRADA FORA DO TOM gostoso demais sou suspeito pois aprecio mto as letras do lou, mas acho que sebadoh eh das maiores bandas noventistas e um pouco underrated até, deveriam falar mais. mto BÃO
This album is very up and down for me and considering the stylistic differences it makes sense. I really enjoyed Soul and Fire, Two Years Two Days, Happily Divided, Cliche, Homemade, Forced Love, and Think (Let Tomorrow Bee). I could have done without a bunch of the others - but even those aren't terrible. It's definitely not a bad album and I may come back to it but probably never to listen to it as a whole.
Forgot how all over the place this record is. They really threw everything they had at it, and took advantage of that studio sound. Didn’t realize Weston produced…makes sense.
Dos de sus canciones, Sacred attention y Two years two days, me gustaron mucho. En general, el disco es bastante bastante lindo. Sus partes más experimentales me caen menos simpático y tienden a aburrirme, me gusta más cuando las canciones son sencillas y predecibles. La atmósfera lograda con la textura lofi me gusta mucho. Para no ser el estilo que acostumbro, me pareció muy bueno. Aún así, no sé si lo escucharía seguido.
This is just a piss take, right? I’m starting to wonder who keeps putting these mediocre albums on this list. The Black Album wins again.
Do I really need to listen to this record before I die?
streng of een slechte dag?
Did not interest me at all
It's fine, I won't be revisiting though
The Good: We are faced with an acronym! The Bad: Solid Example of Badly Done Original Hymns was the nicest thing I could come up with... The Ugly: Finding what’s beneath the scraped bubble… SHIT. There, that’s my review of this album. Throughout the history of modern music, there have been many artists who’ve altered their voice to paint a better picture for the listeners, some start to growl, others might do a falsetto, some whimper… few have the balls to moan off key… so I will hand Sebadoh that… and I can’t be bothered to look up the singers actual voice. Mr Dimery, so it seems, is a musical journalist who’s focus can be compared to a movie critic who only sees 1 genre… This band, according to Wiki, has been compared to the Meat Puppets (fuck no) and, obviously, Dino Jr (whom I don’t like either), all the time overlooking some massive indie bands from the ‘90s who had much more influence on that decade (I am looking at Cracker, Ben Folds Five, The Why Store, fucking Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies, or what about the Reverend Norton?) Oh no, no no, you must listen to some shit recorded on a 8-track in a garage… 1*
This was a really nostalgic sound for me, because it sounded so classically 90s alt rock. I enjoyed this album for that reason, but didn’t enjoy the more screamy parts as much as the more melodic songs.
I liked it, from that same era that is very nostalgic (pavement, sonic youth, dinosaur jr, many of the Canadian indie bands). A few tracks that felt weird and out of place, but otherwise an enjoyable listen.
I'm a big Sebadoh fan and this was actually the first album I got of theirs back in the day after hearing Hayden do a cover of Think (Let Tomorrow Be). Lou Barlow is the king of heartbreak love songs and his songs are my fav here, those favs being Soul & Fire, Two Years Two Days, Sacred Attention, Forced Love, and Think. This is the last album with Eric on it, his songs are sometimes too noisy for me, but he has a few great ones here: Emma Get Wild, and Bouquet for a Siren. Of Jason's songs on here, Happily Divided is my fav. I would probably only give this a 4 really, but since it's one of my favs I want this to be on my 5 list.
Felt weird for the sake of being weird.
Really stretching the term of "influential"
Dinosaur Jr is the obvious comparison point, but this has a ton of other flavors. i almost wanna call it bardic with the eccentric stream of consciousness lyrics. definitely more on the lo-fi and freaky end than the noisy and cathartic. i fuck with it! deserves to be one of the 1001? i mean it's probably not the "right" Sebadoh pick but i can get behind them having one on here. i fuck with Lou Barlow i fuck with You're Living All Over Me
1- Me gustaron las guitarras, pero la letra no es lo mejor. Es buena igual 2- No es un tema que escucharia otra vez la verdad 3- Ya es un no desde el primer minuto, no conecto 4- La verdad que es de lo peor que escuche en mi vida me quiero cortar los oidos, cumple la idea en llamarse Fantastic Disaster pq es una bosta 5- Cualquier cosa MINIMAMENTE escuchable es mejor que la mierda anterior, es escuchable 6- Si el 4to tema fue malo, esto seria lo anterior 7- Es escuchable, increible para lo que venia siendo 8- meh 9- no. 10- Creo que a este punto ya lo que parecia ser el primer tema se cayó a pedazos 11- mejor, no tanto 12- mmmm 13- mmmEH 14- No quiero escuchar mas BASTA 15- ni me acuerdo, por favor que ya termine 16- De todo lo que no esperaba de este album es al menos un tema asi que puedas escuchar sin drama 17- Con todo el amor y cariño del mundo es la 10ma vez que me fijo si es el ultimo tema. No lo escucho ni en pedo de vuelta, no me iba a perder nada si no lo escuchaba.
Never heard of the band before, but this album was a Jekyll and Hyde experience for me. The first couple of songs were kind of a grungy mellow sound which I really liked…it seemed that about half of the songs on the album had this kind of sound. But the rest of the songs? Ugh. Dissonant melodies infused with screamfests…I hated these songs. If edited down, this could have been a four star album for me, but the junk on the album drags it down to a two.
There’s one decent song, which is the first, and that’s it. I was waiting to get his mind-numbing album over with.
An ordeal. Why on earth is it in this list?
Album felt like an unfinished thought- like they couldn't quite nail down their sound and what their vision was. I liked some of the early songs and then lost the thread as it went on. Maybe needed to be split into multiple albums?
I may come back to this album for a second listen. Really enjoyed a lot of the songs.
Formative album, formative band. One time I saw em play without a drummer, they had a fight. Drums came from a tiny cd player sitting on a stool. It was also a formative show :)
I don't really know what to make of this album. Parts were interesting but parts were fairly mediocre grunge-adjacent rock.
annoying
they're so bubbly mi love
Considering how much I love Indie Rock from the 00's and the 2010's, I am always surprise by how much I DON'T love that from the 90's. Bands like Pavement, Built to Spill, or Guided by Voices. They're all fine but not really my taste, probably too slacker-ish or whatever. These guys, Sebadoh, are just like those bands, but even less interesting. Key tracks: Soul and Fire
Decent but it's a bit too... All over the place. Trying to grasp a coherent theme of in this album is like trying to catch the single M&M that rolled under your desk.
Sounds like a more janky Dinosaur Jr. I can understand this kind of jank rubs most the wrong way but I'm alright with it
I was surprised by this album- gound myself enjoying it more than I thought I would. Interesting mix of indie rock with like a proto-emo / hardcore sound. Overall- decent album
Why this album. Why not Bakesale or III. I like Sebadoh. It’s a Sebadoh album! It has some unbelievable alt rock smashes and then some confusing lo-fi messes. If you’re into that it’s great! If not? Ehhhhh. I like their other stuff more
I really had a lot of faith going into Bubble and Scrape that it would impress me as a sleeper Slacker Rock hit of the 90s, but unfortunately it gets a bit ahead of itself and does a lot more self sabotaging to its' own sound than I think most are willing to admit. This album has moments of some really solid Slacker Rock like with Soul and Fire, Two Years Two Days, Sister, Cliche, and Homemade but everything else here really gets lost in the sauce much akin to Sonic Youth. I appreciate what the band tries to do here especially with their soundscape here but this album really doesn't know what to do with itself half the time and it shows throughout a majority of this album's runtime. Hopefully any further releases from Sebadoh feel much more organized, but Bubble and Scrape is a pretty messy project.
I really liked like 2/3rds of this record. Really cool lo fi rock sound, really good harmonies and stuff. I already like the way he sings so it wasn't a big deal for me, but some of these songs just feel out of tune and even though it's intentional I just could not enjoy it.
Bad singing
Day 187 Properly in my wheelhouse musically to the point I’m amazed I’d never actually heard this album, probably not quite good enough to go full marks but pretty close. Highlights Sacred Attention Sixteen Flood
Always intriguing. Is it going punk? Free experimental? Almost pop? Stay tuned, it'll go somewhere else. Being Sub Pop helped, I guess, the finely-tuned production making everything crystal clear.
Passed over me with very little impact!
I dug the first tune, but got bored pretty quickly after that. I was never into these guys, though I dig their overall vibe.
Enjoyed this
enjoyed this although it is a bit of a mixture
Ok. ★★★
I'd completely forgotten about this band - they were right there along with Pavement and Dinosaur Jr as the mellower end of grunge evolved.
2.5
2.5
Wasn't overly for me, felt disjointed throughout. Love a lo-fi album but struggled to latch onto anything here. Personally I'd omit for a number of Primus albums
It started out promising then went downhill quickly
Priem
At first I liked the sound but every song was the same. Then they realised they have to switch things up and the album was great.
I could see it growing on me.
Punk for sure, not exactly my kinda style.
2,4/5
poop from a butt
Op basis van het genre en tijdperk zou dit mijn ding moeten zijn, maar de nummers blijven niet hangen en heb niet de behoefte gevoeld het nog een keer te proberen.
- I really don't want to hear about this guy's failing relationship(s)... at all. So boring and whiny and just makes me feel like he's clearly the problem. I wouldn't want to have to try to keep a conversation going with him. Here's my psychoanalysis - dude, you don't really like women, you just want women to make you feel good about yourself. Go figure your shit out. Imagine having dated this guy and then having to hear this album and knowing it exists forever... The lyrics just made me feel a whole lot of secondhand embarrassment. - The music is a slog - too much dissonance and angst to wade through. I hate the out of tune vocals from whiny singing voices. Ugh. - I barely noticed the instrumentation - it all just kind of blended together in either boring plodding or yelling over everything at once fuzz. Nothing memorable in this music, and definitely no catchy melodies. - Cliche and Sacred Attention were okay, I guess. - Despite the short songs, this went on forever (like that relationship probably felt like it did).
It’s trying to be edgy but misses the mark. The songs are cookie-cutter 90’s grunge/indie rock and I couldn’t connect to any of them.
Rätt tufft men inte heeelt för mig
Tänkte direkt på Dinosaur Jr. när jag började lyssna, så det var kul att höra både att kopplingen fanns och att det här också lät bra, om än inte lika.
Intressant blandning av sound mellan olika låtar, det mesta behagligt.
not bad listening just not my vibe
YUMMMMMM! I really liked this one! I feel like this is finally an album up my alley. Big fan. * Soul and Fire - guitar kind of sounds like sonic youth which I like, also really like the lyrics, especially "I think our love is coming to an end" * Two years two days - again, I really like this sonic youth-ness, good lyrics again * Telecosmic Alechemy - a little more grit * Fantastic disaster - a looooot more grungey, the lyrics kind of remind me of the beastie boys, the harmonica was very unexpected * Happily Divided - this song sounds like elliott smith to me, especially his singing, nice rhyme * Sister - super exciting guitar, I REALLY like the riff * Cliche - peak * Sacred Attention - guitar at the beginning was nice * Elixir Is Zog - The screaming is so funny to me 'cause it just came out of nowhere after the singing has been pretty soft in the previous songs, usually I don't like music with screaming but I like this song a lot * Emma Get Wild - GUITAR IS SO GOOD ON THIS, the way he's singing he sounds like he's just about to run out of breath and i'm SO down for it * Sixteen - the overlapping voices are peak * Homemade - his voice is very pretty in this, at first i was like oh! but then i got what it was about and its very heartfelt * Forced Love - I like the descending melody in the chorus a LOT. * No Way Out - yummy, i like the fly taking a nap or smth in the middle * Bouquet For A Siren - very much like the low and high voices, it feels like space oddity by david bowie * Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) - lyrics are nice, "girl of my dreams, or a friend that one day leaves", yeah i like the lyrics a lot * Flood - interesting song to end the album on
Ok
A solid 3. But i do love lou barlow, so Biased. Really liked soul and fire, and sister
Enjoyed it. A good album Pretty forgettable thought.
Clangy and meaty. Bitesize songs. Beef Jerky. Raw, unproduced feel, ok 1st and last songs are the best. Basically, youve got some unexplained meat with your eggs.
Wasn’t bad. Wasn’t great either
Some decent songs, feels like a collection of demos though overall. Not a fan of the ones the other fella sings. Probably won’t return to this. Bubble & scrapes a 3.
new to me! But I loved it a lot this is the kind of music that's very much up my alley... Love some lo fi alt rock yeah
i'm kind of surprised this album was on here LOL. this is extremely the type of album that would be algorithmically recommended to me. i would listen to it and think, "damn this is weird and kind of sucks but i really like it." in fact, i did do that. love an album that is experimental, kind of weird and just having fun with it.
I like my slacker/indie rock weird, and this album delivers on that promise. This music sounds like it's about to fall apart, and that's a good thing.
This just… wasn’t good. Were they purposefully out of tune?
It’s certainly abrasive, but in a way that actually feels purposeful. I could see this being pretty enjoyable to someone who’s more punk-inclined than I am. Standout: Cliché
Another album that unfortunately had md looking at the clock despite one or two songs I really enjoyed. Did not see the vision for this one and a lot of it felt very unfocused and random which was probably at least partially deliberate.
Ein guter Song ist kein Grund, ein Album komplett und immer wieder zu hören.
неплохо началось, но что то потом не склеилось
Without picking up the book, it's unclear to me why this is the single Sebadoh album to make the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list. And maybe the rest of what's to come is too "inside the Lou Barlow filter bubble," if there is such a thing, but given that this record makes the list, the editors have likely heard the more bitterly caustic early work or the more classically popular Bakesale. But maybe this is exactly their case for Bubble & Scrape. If Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock marks the end of the early albums (debatable) and Bakesale marks the start of their popular period (also debatable), then Bubble & Scrape is the turning point. Except, of course, it's all singularly Sebadoh. Meaning whatever record you listen to there will be some well-crafted songs that positively perk up your ears no matter the recording quality and other tracks that just feel like jangle trash they knew should be left on the editing room floor but decided to include just to antagonize. It's great.
01/02/2026 As much as I like guitars, rock and noise, this definitely wasn't the one. Spotify listeners: 135.1k
some good some bad some wild it had it all
certainly not their best, but still enjoyable
Curates egg
Too many reminders of Snow Patrol in here
Scraping the barrel 1001.
Don't know how this got in ahead of Bakesale, but you have to play the team in front of you. Occasionally great but a lot of filler. And gets more difficult as it goes on. 2*
Sebadoh gets recommended to me from different internet algorithms all the time, so I guess I dig enough related stuff that I should enjoy them. And to that I say…SebaNO! This album has brief ideas that I like or find interesting (particularly the noisier and more chaotic bits), but not full songs I feel the same about. Just little parts here and there catch my ear. As a full album, I just didn’t really have much interest.
Soul And Fire - 4/5 Two Years Two Days - 4.5/5 Telescopic Alchemy - 3/5 Fantastic Disaster - 3/5 Happily Divided - 4.5/5 Sister - 4/5 Cliche - 4/5 Sacred Attention - 4/5 Elixir Is Zog - 3.5/5 Emma Get Wild - 3/5 Sixteen - 3/5 Homemade - 2/5 Forced Love - 3/5 No Way Out - 2.5/5 Bouquet For A Siren - 3.5/5 Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) - 4/5 Flood - 3/5
SebaDON’T. Just kidding, this actually grew on me as it went on. Sebado whatever you want. Prob 3.5
yo this was awesome. i like it. im a 90s guy. everyone knows that about me
I often like dissonant music, things that are a bit angry, somewhat weird, odd. I thought this was OK, but not great. Kind of an indictment, really, in that the style should have worked for me, but it didn't, and presumably that's because it's a bit derivative.
I can see the attraction of this album for fans of lo fi grunge. However not for me. Too many songs/running time. Enjoyed hapoily divided, cliche and think.
A hard listen.
Raucous, but in a good way. It seemed to hit a groove about halfway through and kept it going until the end. Three stars.
Það eru góð móment hérna, en líka mjög mikið af leiðinlegum grungelátum. Og tempóbreytingin í fyrsta laginu þegar trommurnar komu inn fór algjörlega öfugt í mig. Læt eitt rennsli nægja til tvists.
first listen i like it
Uneven but better than a 2. This is much more "mid" than it is "must listen".
Pretty forgettable replacement level indie rock. Too thrashy for my taste.
Eh
That was interesting. I liked some of the tracks, didn't hate it.
Damn, this isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was gonna be. It's a bit disjointed in places...a bit chaotic. Beautiful songs one track, aggressive and hard the next, but they pull it off pretty well.
it's aight
i mean its okay
Mediocre does not need to be on this list
Sometimes I just have to say, nah man, I'm good.
This genre is very yawn. Nothing offensive about this album... but nothing grabbing either.
The opening song was great, but it quickly went downhill from there. Most of the songs uses distortion and alternative “harmonies”. The songs varies from just annoying to “ok, this is kinda cool”. Sometimes it is all over the place, and in the next moment it is nice. Conclusion: A few songs are definetly better than the rest of the album. I might check out some of their other singles. Favourite songs: Soul and Fire, Think (Let Tomorrow Be).
This sounds like about 1/3 of albums on this project.
Grande influence pour moi. Combien de fois j'ai vu en show Lou Barlow solo, Lou Barlow en semi Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr. avec Lou Barlow, Dinosaur Jr. sans Lou Barlow?
Belle découverte : Pixies meets Pavement meets Foo Fighters. Comment ne pas aimer. Curieusement, le cover art ressemble à celui de l'album d'hier de Massive Attack, si j'étais adepte de théorie du complot, ça ne m'en prendrait pas plus pour dire qu'il y a quelque chose là.... Parlant de album cover art j'aime bien, en browsant leurs autres albums, ceux de Harmacy et Bakesale. Anyway, c'est pour découvrir ce genre de groupe que je suis content de faire ce projet.
Sebadoh: 5 étoiles. Simple comme ça.
I've never heard this album and understand why it would be included list, unless its about the Sub Pop label or New England grunge. I didn't really enjoy much of it, despite its tight rhythm section.
This is a hard one for me to rate. I did enjoy some of it. It was just very inconsistent and clearly had too many drivers. It was trying to be too many things. 2.5/5
I liked this alum esp the instruments and vocals! The lyrics were relatable and enjoyable.
“This sounds a lot like Dino Jr” I say to myself before learning that Lou Barlow is a founding member.
62/100. A solid indie rock record that keeps things interesting by constantly switching things up. The sound shifts a lot from song to song, and it actually works in the album’s favor. It feels less like one strict style and more like flipping through a bunch of different moods and influences.
Some amazing tracks
So disorganised and chaotic, poorly performed whilst still being boring. Its like what Nirvanna/Cobain were criticised as being.
Way too long. This album didn’t hit my ears right at all, instruments were so discordant that it became unbearable to listen to at points. I got as far as “happily divided”, checked where I was and almost cried. I then stopped listening so if it happened to get way better after this point then I am sorry.
Quite crap to be honest
This is really fucking stupid.
EXTREMELY hit or miss album for me. I don't enjoy the heavier, louder songs personally, but I did like about half this album.
Pretty solid indie punk album
6/10 Favorite: Soul And Fire
Pedro the Lion with Dinosaur Jr. guitar. Very much my speed.
This was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed the raw sound. Obviously influences a lot of indie bands that I listen to.
I’ve never really listened to Sebadoh before, but that’s about to change. I really enjoyed the pop sensibility paired with the jangly or fuzzy guitars, interspersed with some noisy punkers, in the vain of Nirvana’s Incesticide. Would listen again, will listen again
4.5
I honestly didn't really like Bubble And Scrape and i hate the fact that i didn't because this album definitely seems like something right up my alley. There are some moments of really solid musicianship with cool guitars, crunchy basslines, energetic drumming and quite a bit of other things that should make me like this album. But the issue is, this album just has a severe laziness factor to it. Every element of this album has this lazy, sleazy feel. Everything from the vocals, the lyrics (probably the worst offender of this) and even the music all are guilty of this. I can't in good faith give this a one (due to the aforementioned solid instrumentation) but even at 46 minutes, it felt like it was dragging along. Best Song: Sacred Attention Worst Song: Sister
-this is decent. i have a newfound appreciation for 90s indie rock, perhaps influenced by Built To Spill and Dinosaur Jr., so i ended up rather enjoying this -not the most interesting rock album i’ve ever heard by a long shot, but i do quite love the random jarring tone shifts throughout the album. not bad, would like to listen again -Favorites: Two Years Two Days, Happily Divided, Elixir Is Zog, Flood
A more folk Nirvana
It's not bad, but it's also not really that good either. I wouldn't ask someone to turn it off, but you'll never find me asking someone to turn it on either.
Utter shite
This album sounded like it hadn't showered in 3 weeks.
"Soul and Fire" grew on me over a couple listens ("When I lose control, I need a kind, forgiving friend / But I think our love is coming to an end"). But most of the album, I wouldn't recommend.
indie meh, zamula
You know, it makes me feel sad to give 90s music bad scores because I love 90s music, it's the best decade for music. But I didn't like ALL 90s music in the 90s, and some of it hasn't aged well so I'm certainly not going to like all of it now.
Quintessential 90s
It has glimpses of greatness but it just never reaches those heights.
Some ok moments, some not so much. Another indie/alt album that doesn't seem worthy of this list.
Raczej nudne i nic szczególnego. Nie wiem czemu się to tutaj znalazło. 2
i thought it was called slacker rock not whiner rock
There's some nice stuff on here, but it's a bit too inconsistent for me. A real mixed bag.
Happy to see Sebadoh here, such a fun album
😒
Day727 - starting my last year of this project and my appreciation for all these albums has changed. i like the garage sound. “soul and fire” and “homemade”stood out to me
Just Awful
Not Sebadoh's best ...but still a good un.
Listens: 1 Standout Tracks: None The term "indie" back in 1993 means something completely different from an "indie" rock band in the mid to late 2000s. I can only imagine this band took on the indie moniker because they are or were signed by a legitimate independent label, not to be confused with the term "indie" used to describe much softer adult contemporary music like Death Cab for Cutie, Arcade Fire or The Lumineers. These guys can't keep a tune. They can't sing a harmony. The seemingly cannot play chords that sound good. There are basically no good hooks or melodies to speak of. It's almost grunge, but without even a modicum of anything resembling a coherent song structure. Discordant sounds all around; Everything sounded Washed out. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I did a listen and that's about as much as you're getting out of me.
Gaffney's last stand on this Sub Pop layered piece.
Decent lo-fi schmo-fi. Great first track, the rest I like rather than love.
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It's a good length album and the tracks are kind of samey. Very of its time.
1.5 stars I like fuzzy guitar loud distorty 90s music. But I also dislike a lot of lofi music in the same genre because it sounds more like a bumbling mess than an expression of emotion through use of said noise. This album felt like an opening act that was going for something but I wasn’t vibing with. Maybe others would but I couldn’t. I won’t listen to this again.
Ok 2-5
I get that this is early grunge and was likely influential, but it's not very good. I don't think I missed out on the story of 90s rock, of which there are many trailblazers and amazing albums, by never having heard this before. "Homemade" is a good song, but everything else is boring and forgettable.
Jesus this is boring. Has the personality of slightly to soggy cereal, saccharine and dull instrumentation, rip off from grunge sound but has the life drained out of it via pop fusion. Does absolutely nothing for me apart from annoy quite seriously. It has immense ability to annoy across its range. Fuck this
afgrijsloos
Heavy metal répétitif que j'ai encore écouté 2 ou 3 fois parce que j'avais oublié ce que c'était faute de l'avoir noté direct après écoute. Un peu plan plan mais pas désagréable à écouter, comme la majorité des albums quoi.
De mémoire : sympa
Un mélange de très bon et de beaucoup moins bon, quelques sonorités expérimentales qui m'ont plu mais aussi des passages bizarres 3/5
Goes wilder places than Bakesale, but Bakesale was a lot more consistently good, I feel. Surprised that's not on the list and this one is? (unless I just haven't gotten it yet) 3.5/5
The first track was solid, but it was all downhill after that
The songs oscillated between me liking them and wanting to skip them - maybe that happens when everyone in a band writes songs? I think I didn’t like the gaffney written songs (besides think). Ends up with a 3 - if it was just the songs I liked it would be closer to 4
Man, what the hell is this? I've never heard of this band or album before, though these scuffed, abstract album covers are very much a 90s alt-rock thing, so I think I've more or less got this in the bag as far as a prediction is concerned. It's indie rock, though I was close enough in my prediction. Can't say I was too big on this one, truth be told. The first half is peaceful and quaint as far as lo-fi indie rock goes, though the second half of this album completely shits the bed with the more aggressive instrumentation and vocals. I do understand and appreciate the concept, however. The sombre, self-pitying first half gives way to a more reckless and self-destructive second half, capturing the full range of emotions and experiences which come with heartbreak. There couldn't be a better pairing of that concept with this sound, as lo-fi has an impressive range between soft and harsh. My problem is that it doesn't do it well. Heartbreak songs are already kind of amateurish and sappy as is, and this album does absolutely nothing to differentiate itself. It also doesn't help that this album is incredibly fatiguing. 17 songs is just way too many for one mind to critically engage with. Book time. Well-connected. Influential in the lo-fi movement of the 90s. That's about it - Wikipedia doesn't have much of note on the page for this album. I'm surprised I haven't encountered a lo-fi entry on this list prior to this one. There's gotta be more of these - I'm sure there's a Duster or a Pavement peppered in the list somewhere. Regardless, it's an ever-popular style of music and an interesting footnote in the outsider/bedroom musician era of the 90s. I'm sure there's better showings from this genre, though for the time being I'm content with letting this entry in. I cosign this inclusion.
One of many albums on this list which are quite nice but nothing more
Warm, lightly scrappy indie-folk/lo-fi grooves built from gently picked or fuzz-scuffed guitars, wobbling bass, uneven percussion, and muttered, homespun vocals, which feels charming in its handmade roughness but so meandering and faint that you’re fast to lose interest as it drifts out of focus.
ich verstehe echt nicht, wie das album nur 2.65 sterne im durchschnitt hat. ich liebe shoegaze, von daher auch das album. die mehrheit der songs ist gut und ich finds ehrlich cool.
Starts as a mix of Temu Matthew Sweet meets Elliott Smith and goes downhill fast.
Very typical Alternative Rock album of the era. Sound is very reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr., and almost feels derivative at times. Songs are good, most of them quite short and there's a lot of variation. It balances nicely between soft, loud, acoustic and feeback driven. Maybe not the most imporant album of 1993, but a good album.
I liked Bakesale well enough, but Bubble & Scrape wasn't doing it for me too much this morning. Some great guitar work and a few really good tunes ("Soul and Fire", "Homemade", "Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)"), but overall, it felt like somewhat anonymous slacker rock and lacking in song structure. It gets up to a low 3 stars in my book, as I dig the general style, but I can't say I feel overly compelled to return much to this one. 3/5
Some decent bits but singer doesn't do it for me.
I hate indie rock. This was very meh. 2.5/5
Band an album were all new to me. Although it is mainly the kind of music I like the most, I'm not 100% into the vocals. And just because here and then there are pieces that annoy me, I can only give it the weak three stars. favourite: "Cliche", "Sacred Attention", "Emma Get Wild", Forced Love" 2,5
Really decent indie rock with an edge.
Nope. Fucking awful.
Not really feeling this one
Standouts Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)
Nothing fantastic about this disaster. Just kidding, not a disaster per se, it's just that this record did nothing for me. I mean, where are they now? There's a lot of cases where an inclussion in this list signals a cultural failing, evidence that we, as a culture, leave a lot to be desired, letting artists pass us by, completely ignoring pieces of art that, sometimes, where staring right at our face and we just, ou know, get it. I don't think that's the case of Sebadoh, though.
When this record popped up yesterday morning I was like "oh yeah Sebadoh, I remember them" but my next thought was "have I ever actually heard any of this or do I just know about it from reading about it in Puncture or whatever at the time?" So ok - this is along the lines of things I like, indie rock. I'd give it more stars if it was a little more innovative. It didn't really speak to me for some reason. Three stars because it's competent, tuneful, but for me unexciting.
Scuzzy indie lo-fi. I was very much into this music when the album was released; I still am. This album is solid from start to finish. I can certainly see how some might not groove with the record, but as a cornerstone of early 90s indie rock it certainly belongs on this list. Great stuff!
Not my cup of tea.
If you don't love the music you listened to when you were 20-whatever, I suspect your life has not been what you hoped for.
Good album! A couple of tracks get a little wild for my personal tastes, but most of it rocked and it’s fun going back to the early days of indie
Rubbish
This is right in my wheelhouse. Kind of noisy rock, two guitar players playing over each other, dissonant solos. The acoustic songs are nice as well. The only song I didn't like was Fantastic Disaster, and, well, you can't say they didn't warn us about that one.
I found this mostly unpleasant to sit through. Had to take breaks because I wasn’t enjoying it at all. 1/5
Very indie rockish. But the next morning I don't remember any of it
2 stars - Maybe "the we sing out of tune and play our instruments out of tune" works for some people, I am not one of those people.
It's like a Guided By Voices album without the charm or great songs. So you're just left with mediocrity. I'm giving this a 1. 90's indie rock trash.
Kao da je neko uzeo sav indie/alt rock iz devedesetih, izblendao zajedno, i napravio najprosječniji prosjek od albuma s tom kombinacijom.
So I was into Sebadoh for a while, which makes sense me being a Dinosaur Jr. fanboy (Sebadoh was created by Lou Barlow, Dinosaur Jr bass player). This isn’t my favorite album of theirs but it shows great range for a slacker indie record. It would be more than a stretch to say you have to listen to this album before you die but if you like nineties slacker indie rock then it’s a great one (also try III which I like better). Three stars.
Very sleepy sounding, but in a chill way. First few songs in and I'm not hearing a lot of replay value.
Favorite track(s): Sister, Sacred Attention
I was bubbling with excitement and scraping for this to be over
maybe i was just in a bad mood but i really disliked this. i do have a short temper when it comes to 90's music.
*Had some great moments but it was overall very scattered and lacked a focus
Grungy but not too grungy. The odd screamy bit. Somewhere in between Buttholesurfers and MBV
Kind of interesting lo fi stuff.
Unique sound, was not previously familiar with this band. Neat musical features
I'm a big Dinosaur Jr. fan, and I've never really listened to Sebadoh, so I was excited to try to get into this album. After a first listen, I'm thinking it's good not great. A lot of really good songs, which mostly feel like breakup songs. Vocals are delivered mostly dryly in that 90s indie style reminiscent of Sonic Youth, but there is some harsh yelling too, like on "Elixir Is Zog". The tracks tow the line between lo-fi and studio polish. But ultimately I'm not sure I'm finding something to latch on to. That is, I'm not finding a hook to sink my teeth into. Guitars are great on a lot of tracks, bass is great on a lot of tracks, but what is the unique defining "sound" here? There is a lot of variety song to song, and the album as a whole feels like a bunch of songs by different people got dumped into one place. Maybe I need another listen or time for it to meld with me.
3.5/5 B
I liked this less as it went on.
First song was good, fell off hard thereafter.
A solid listen. I'm a fan of Dinosaur Jr, too. Didn't realize all the drama there until reading all the notes on who Sebadoh were. A lot of talent was concentrated in that Amherst area in the late 80s.
It’s pretty good. 3/5
Nope
Felt very 90’s
80’s indie
Los escuché n Radio3 en su momento, creo que nunca tuve un disco de ellos prestado ni nada de eso. Había muchos grupos que sonaban así y creo que tenían más tirón y mejores melodías. La primera canción es la más oída, pero el resto bastante regular. Prefiero este mismo sonido por Weezer, Dinosaur Jr o Pavement.
Interesting mix of music. Not really my jam, but I can see the appeal for some people.
4.3/10
I hadn’t heard of Sebadoh, now I know why. My two year old grandson could do better. I’ve consigned this album to my try to forget file, absolute garbage.
Scrapes a low 3 for me. Wasn't a fan of the last song.
