Under the Western Freeway is the debut studio album by American indie rock band Grandaddy.

[13] Andy Gill of The Independent called it "one of the most beguiling debuts of the year [...] a fortuitous collision of Brian Wilson, Neil Young and the Pixies which throws out a stream of understated pop gems".

[14] AllMusic noted similarities to the bands Pavement and Weezer, and described it as "a fairly brilliant album, combining a warm, earnest and rustic feel with sometimes goofy experimentation".

[7] Steve Taylor wrote in his book The A to X of Alternative Music that "Laughing Stock" is the album's standout track.
