As much as I've used the term "sold out" before, it's true that we don't know whether the band's new sound just happens to be more popular, or that they deliberately tried to be mainstream. I think if any musician was willing to sacrifice their own music style etc. just to be successful, then chances are they would have started in the mainstream, doing only what they needed to do to be popular.
