Recorded on the ex-Dinosaur Jr. man's four-track, these sketchy, oddly compelling demos will appeal to the indie kids bewitched by his current band, Sebadoh. It works best as an archaeological dig that reveals volumes about a unique songwriter who, as one title puts it, is mellow, cool, and painfully aware. <I>--Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars NOT GREAT.......2003-05-31

INSPIRED BUT UNREFINED CHEAP STUDIO THROW AWAYS...THE BEST I CAN DO WITH THIS...IT HAS ONE OR TWO MOMENTS THAT ARE RUINED BY SOMETHING STUPID....

5 out of 5 stars one of my favorites.......2003-02-17

an ex-boyfriend of mine purchased this album in 1994 and i fell in love with it immediately. something about lou's voice gets me everytime. the simplicity of the music and the cleverness of the lyrics are what make this album one of the best. this is a MUST HAVE for anyone who enjoys the lou songs over the jason songs on the sebadoh albums.

4 out of 5 stars Sebadoh's Songwriting Strongman.......2001-09-14

After purchasing a few Sebadoh CDs it was obvious that the songs penned by Lou Barlow were the gems of the collections. Winning Losers offers some insight into how the man sketches the songs that eventually make it onto proper Sebadoh CDs; however, these maintain a raw power that I can listen to repeatedly, unlike most Sebadoh CDs (the exception being Bakesale - their masterpiece). It remains one of my favorites and I highly recommend it.
