Any opinions regarding Albert Barnes as a Bible commentator? (I realize that a couple of the book commentaries were written by others.)

Is he good, bad, indifferent? Enquiring minds (well, mine, anyway!) would like to know.
 
I have completely stopped using him over the years. I have found him to be either unhelpful or just plain wrong.
 
Barnes denied a number of core doctrines of the Christian faith, including original sin.

Albert Barnes was one of the leading characters in what came to be called New School Presbyterianism.

I won't necessarily argue that Barnes held to each and every one of these errors, but here is a link to an article listing the doctrinal errors of the New School Presbyterians:
