I understand screaming sell outs to bands selling their music to coca cola, or to bands which just follow hypes, but it's soooo overused...
I didn't say they were commercial, but Lateralus just (to me) felt like it was step towards the mainstream. Not in the content, it was also very technical, but in the style. With 10,000 Days, I'm very impressed how far they could go with their new style.

On a side note, their publisher must hate them. Their CD cases/cover art from Aenima on must seriously cut into the manufacturing profits.
