actually sebadoh started out more of eric's project w/ lou contributing songs and bass along the way.(as confirmed at the Spaceland show...)
weed forestin' was ok, but sebadoh really shined during III. that really married their tape recording style and made some of their acoustic songs come to life(although i wonder if Superchunk actually released brand new love electric first?).
i would say the drop off happened when eric left.
