    My personal favorite Sebadoh album. This is the one album I suggest that people start with: it's easily their most accessible and polished effort.

    Bakesale's consistency allows it to work tremendously well as a beginning-to-end album.

    A 25-track bonus disc of rarities makes this a feast for Barlow heads. [May 2011, p.94]
