I don't think it was selling out, it was just giving their fan base what they wanted instead of taking musical risks in the direction that would have benefited them more, imo. If they were to explore the same sound that made their debut and Iowa so enjoyable, I strongly feel they wouldn't be one of the most hated bands in metal. But, instead they gave us a bunch of melodic bull**** that I don't care about.
