I don't really see how Beck could have got more commercial after Mellow Gold. Geffen were promoting him as the next big teen pop act at the time.
I remember an interview with both him & Lou Barlow in the Melody Maker around 93/94 where Lou laid into him for turning his back on his lo-fi roots to become essentially a pop act.
It wasn't until Odelay that he regained his credibility.
