Everyone has his/her own opinion; that said, I'd argue it wasn't even one of the greatest albums of the 1990s.

You've got this one. There's no such thing as selling out (unless you're cramming more 350 people into the Horseshoe -- breaking the fire code is so passee). Look at the Clash, the greatest rock and roll band of all time who were chastised for signing to CBS.
As to whether or not Mike Bell likes knob, that really shouldn't impeed his writing. And put the Nickelback being the next Metallica in perspective. Most (captial M) people who despise Nickelback, I would argue, are more likely to enjoy less mainstream music (or counter culture music that has become mainstream). The same could be said about Metallica fans at the start of the 1990s. I wonder how many people bought a Pixies record and the Black album within a couple of months timespan.
Back to work -- having two retail jobs sucks.
