I just think that after Youthanasia Dave started running out of good song ideas and could only put together a handful of truly solid songs and then surround them with decent ones or just filler. I'm fine with his stylistic changes up until he cynically started trying to court his old fanbase. The last time he came close to a legitimately great album was Risk. Even Cryptic Writings has too much filler.
