He's been too contrary and self-defeating. After the Replacements he had a huge solo deal and was poised to become a alt-music giant, but he suddenly decides to be a "traditional singer-songwriter" and churn out crap. Then in the early 00's he made a huge creative comeback, but it was too low-key to make a impact. Paul's problem is that he admits he's a terrible judge of his own work and can't discern between his best and worst work, but he doesn't want to listen to anyone else, either.
