Reviews"...a rich, hook-filled record that justifies much of their acclaim. HARMACY's 19 tunes run from thrashing rock to melodic indie pop, and are almost uniformly wonderful....Enjoyably loose without turning self-indulgent...", 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...Sebadoh's best album to date....`Willing To Wait' is, hands down, Lou Barlow's finest (if unhappiest) hour....Edited down to just Barlow's songs and the best of Jason Loewenstein's, HARMACY would be a near-perfect album. As it is, it's merely wonderful...", Ranked #8 on Rolling Stone's List of the "Ten Best Albums" of 1996., 6 (out of 10) - "...ironically, Sebadoh have just made a very British album....it...starts off pretty stupendously, with a trio of songs...that can only be described as `gorgeous'....The 19 tracks here are studded with quicksilver pop gems...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...they cover the history of US indie pop...telling tales of teenage folly for the post-Generation X generation, with scenes played out in the bedrooms, through cable TV shows and on the skateboards of the new guitar pop fan.", 8 (out of 10) - "...HARMACY finds Barlow and his bandmates still parked on relationship lane. And they would give everything they own just to have you back again....Sebadoh maintain their status as champions of the private moment...", 3 (Out of 5) -"...Neurotically Hooky Indie Rock, Heart-Soaked Balladry...", "...HARMACY proves that a good melody conquers all....Lou Barlow's confident tunesmithing belies the hesitant introspection....Jason Lowenstein actually grabs a larger share of the writing credits...but it's Barlow's eight tunes that provide the dramatic weight...", Recommended - "...And say you actually wanted, on a what-the-hell kind of day, to Experience Sebadoh. What would you pick to start? Well, simple, this one. HARMACY, in brief, is what I shall wave triumphantly from now on...", Ranked #36 in the Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll., Ranked #38 in Nme's 1996 Critics' Poll.
