I've spent only a wee bit less than 2 decades with Tim.
I love some of the songs, but others sound like a prelude to the Goo Goo Dolls and Soul Asylum. Tim has great songs, but it's not *the* Mats album. Let it Be is. But I'm more of a Mats-Song fan than a Mats-album fan. I like songs from all of their albums, but there are some albums that, on the whole, are not great.
Still a defining band of my youth. I'm not a hater. Westerberg's solo stuff is hit or miss too, but when it hits, it's jangle-pop bliss
