Weed Forestin is the most Barlow-centric of any Sebadoh release - more so than The Freed Man, which was recorded in 1988 and features a number of Gaffney's songs.
Sebadoh became a three-piece in 1989 with the arrival of Jason Loewenstein, and all future Sebadoh albums feature songwriting contributions from Barlow, Loewenstein and other members, including Gaffney until his departure in 1994.
