Sebadoh - Bubble And Scrape (1993)
I know nothing about Sebadoh, except what I accidentally read just now pulling up their album on Rdio.com. The review on top reads, "This mainstay of '90s indie rock didn't manage a consistently listenable record until their fourth try in 1993, two years after Nevermind, so the youth were going gaga over grunge." There's a few things in here that bother me, mainly that despite being a mainstay during my time as a youth I've never head of them. More than that is the idea that Sebadoh is called an "indie rock" band, which I haven't ranted about how much I hate that term in quite some time. Perhaps worst of all is how a band can make it 4 albums before making one people are willing to call "consistently listenable." Is that meant to be a compliment of some kind? Can you imagine eating at a restaurant that made food best described as "consistently edible?"

The Auteurs - New Wave (1993)
Thanks to Roni Size I am not at all looking forward to this album. I'm being totally unfair to The Auteurs here, but holy shit, New Forms was a horrible waste of time, and I'm afraid New Wave might just be more of the same crap just based on the name. It's completely unreasonable but I can't ignore my feelings.

Aimee Mann - Whatever (1993)
Aimee Mann has been given a ripe opportunity to impress me. Coming off the grinding noisefest of Psychocandy I'm desperate for music with a modicrum of substance. I'm pretty sure I don't know any Aimee Mann music, but I'll probably wind up recognizing something seeing as how she was active while I was an impressionable youth.
