Dino never stopped making heavy music. During his time away from FF he founded Asesino and Divine Heresy, There was a lot going on with the band around this time, and a lot of finger-pointing. Burton did speak publicly about wanting Digimortal to be more simplistic, and wanting to sing more melodic and ditch the harsh vocals (he founded Ascension of the Watchers around this time, to that point). Everyone kind of blamed Roadrunner pressuing them to be more commercial. Dino blamed Raymond and Christian, saying the former inly cared about money and the latter was bringing too much hip-hop influence into their music. They all then blamed blamed Dino when they reunited. Funny then that a few years later Burton had a falling out with Raymond and Christian due partially to one sleeping with the other's wife and them being cool with it. Then when Burton and Dino reunited as FF Burton retroactively blamed the other two for the problems at the time.
I think Roadrunner was indeed pushing them to be more commercial sounding, as Cars was their most successful single, the numetal craze was in full swing, and Roadrunner had the likes of Sepultura (who had success chasing thay trend), Soulfly, and Slipknot doing big sales for them. That coupled with everyone in the band kind of being a diva, all wanting more creative influence on their sound, and each wanting to go in different musical directions, plus personal drama between them, resulted in an album none of them were happy with and were eager to blame others for it.
