Tim is Westerberg's creative peak, he never wrote songs that well or consistently since.(and cant hardly wait was written way before ptmm) That record just fires on all cylinders its got kick ass rockers, perfect pop, anthems gorgeous ballads, some acoustic and a sense of humor without letting the songwriting suffer (sorry but gary got a boner should have stayed a joke off the record). I think Paul really gave it his all while writing Tim like a pure distillation of the mats and himself, so when that album didnt become a huge hit he backed away from showing his true color and stopped writing songs for his own enjoyment and more for record execs and mtv.
