IMO no, as far as "90s bands" go. Billy went from the absolute top of the pile to a fucking idiot. As we all are fans we can all speculate on when the flame-out happened, but it definitely happened. He flamed out hard.
I blame it on the crucial move of making adore, which caused him to second-guess himself for the first time, and then he made Machina as a reaction to that. You can't make reactionary art. That's why he says shit like "my greatest album is just sitting on a shelf". He lost his infallible self-confidence and stopped putting up 3's.
