yeah I can sympathize with that perspective and would tend to agree. I certainly think the band's image improves with the diversity in talents they lend, however much those talents are utilized.
But this still nags at me: gish, siamese dream, and the b sides pisces iscariot had a lot more "band" sound than the later output, which sounded more and more like the trollings of one person into the worlds of electronic music. I wasn't in the studio, but I do know that a lot of the complaints of the band members including d'arcy's complaints circa Adore was that their presence was obsolete whether they liked it or not. And that trend coincides with the amount to which I've been affected by their music.
