Even the best songs off Dirt, "Down in a Hole" and "Would", are proof of this. "Man in the Box" is the intense exception to this.

Yep, absolutely. I think they sounded their best doing depressing dirge-like music along the lines of "Rotten Apple", but they insisted on trying to rock out most of the time, which they kind of sucked at. Unlike you, really dislike "Man in the Box" so I have no examples of them rocking out successfully.
