It wasn't so much that they went soft as it is that they ran out of ideas. Counting the Days (if I remember correctly) was a horrible rip off of Metallica's "King Nothing" (in the guitar work only) and if it wasn't that song it was another radio single.
"I'm Feeling better now" was pretty good in my opinion, but songs like Precious Declaration were a real gem in a time when guitars were just being used to make fuzz, they had enough Eddie Vedder to get play from the alt. crowd but their guitar work was a shot from the past.

I'm listening to Counting the Days now, I guess they could have put that riff to better use, still I quite like it.
Runaway Train is quite a different song that managed to get a lot of radio play over here. It's quite a bit more depressing then their other work. Or it could be that every time I heard it on the radio it was raining and miserable outside. Still an enjoyable tune.
