Album Notes Sebadoh: Jason Lowenstein (vocals, guitar, bass, drums); Eric Gaffney (vocals, guitar, drums); Lou Barlow (vocals, guitar, bass, percussion). Additional personnel: Sean Slade (Mellotron). Sebadoh: Eric Gaffney, Jason Loewenstein, Lou Barlow. First released in 1991, Sebadoh's III has often been described as the ultimate college rock album. Composed of hit-or-miss musical experiments like "Black Haired Gurl" and lo-fi indie rock like "The Freed Pig," with occasional combinations of both, like their oddball cover of Johnny Mathis's hit "Wonderful, Wonderful," it's perhaps the band's most enduring achievement. This remastered reissue also includes early-'90s demos and rarities, as well as their seminal "Gimme Indie Rock" EP.
Editorial Reviews Rated #40 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - ...III sports its share of sonic sullenness with an unassuming hush that stalks your ears. Barlow is a prolific lyricist. With scores of wisdom gleaned from ponderin' relationships, he helped to coin the sound of being for real and made it cool. Alternative Press (07/01/1995)
Ranked #41 in Spin Magazine's 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s. Spin (09/01/1999)

[The album] surfaced from the other side of the underground, from a place where naked emotion trumped big guitars and pained sarcasm got more play than sing-along choruses. Magnet
3 stars out of 5 -- A true indie-rock blueprint. Spin
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [With] acoustic change-ups and killer noise tunes....Lovable. Rolling Stone
