I think The Bends did that just fine, Street Spirit, Just, High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees were hits. And The Bends was generally agreed upon as being their first really strong album. It's still rooted in Nirvana, U2 and REM but it also has the early signs of the proggy experimentation that they would expand on with later albums. But most importantly the songwriting has improved greatly.
