I HATE early Sebadoh. It's Lou recording any idea, no matter how fully realized, coupled with terrible lyrics. Lou said he was smoking a lot of pot at the time and nothing made sense to him, and it shows. I think Gaffney was extremely overrated in the grand scheme of things.
Once they got to Bubble and Scrape though, those fuckers knew how to rock. Bakesale is still my favorite due to sentimental reasons, personally. Harmacy is half of a really, really good album but has a lot of random songs that go nowhere (Kind of feels like them trying to do a Wowee Zowee type thing but not really succeeding). I think The Sebadoh is pretty underrated and gets a bad reputation; Sorry and Love is Stronger are two of my favorite Lou songs.
