Yeah, by the same logic you could call OK Computer the beginning of the end for Radiohead because their music became less organic and more "cold" but for some bands that approach just works better.
Just because a band changes over the years isn't a bad thing, I know Pink Floyd started out as a certain kind of band but it would have gotten redundant if they remained that way for the rest of their career.
I mean imagine if Flaming Lips never evolved from an average punk band or if Genesis never evolved from a mediocre Zombies clone or if David Bowie never evolved from writing music hall novelty songs, just because an artist was originally about one thing doesn't mean they can't change. What makes all these artists so enduring is the fact that they have evolved a lot.
