He's a good bass player and thus it's nice to see him back in Dinosaur Jr again, but I don't really like Barlow as a songwriter.
Lose and Poledo are easily the worst songs from You're Living all over Me, they're pretty terrible songs that hurt an otherwise great album.

It's decent. Just played "A Punchup at a Wedding" too and it's also decent. I'm just not a fan of HttT, personally. And it has nothing to do with it being less electronic than the previous two albums. I just don't like most of the songs, and the album overall feels weak. I'm not ruling out the possibility that it will grow on me over time, but each time I try, it just seems to drag.

Oddly enough Punchup at a Wedding is the one song from the album I'm not too crazy about.
I don't think it's any less consistant than the other post PH Radiohead albums, personally.

I thought Green Mind was decent but I agree that they started going downhill around that point.
I dunno if that's really because of Barlow's departure or just because Mascis started running out of material, I think it's the latter. There's nothing about Sebadoh that convinces me that Barlow is a particularly talented songwriter, I just don't get his appeal.
