Yeah I don't want to characterize the sound as a bad thing either. I love when artists evolve their sound into something equally engaging. I'm just saying that at the time I was used to previous two albums and 'Violator' felt like a lot of that symphonic approach was stripped away to reveal something Kraftwerkian.
This said, I still prefer the many layered and huge sounding approach of Masses over everything else.
