I think another crucial thing is that the tipping point might be "when you know what it's going to sound like" - from what I know of REM (the singles) they got v predictable towards the end so I can imagine hearing more of the same and just not wanting to bother. Whereas the first thing I heard off American Doll Posse was...a catchy rockabilly song about how she was a MILF! So I knew it wasn't going to be another stage in her blanding down from the get go...
