They liked the way Jet set was more produced thier way and they really worked hard on Dirty but didn't like the process. The whole thing with Jet set is they knew the music was weak and were pretty spent after all the hard work on dirty. They took a more simplistic approach to Jet set but even down to the art they knew it wasn't going to be pleasing. They almost did this as a test for geffen that they really would retain control over thier sound, art, music material... It just was a pretty weak effort. Almost destined to fail. They really didn't even tour or try hard to promote it. (some of that being because Kim was pregnant) Thus, they decided with Washing machine they would rededicate themselves to the songs, patch things up with Lee, and record the record they always wanted to record. Thats why really Washing machine is a breath of fresh air in the middle of the corporate 90s. I really don't know how washing machine stands up in the eyes of the average SY fan, but it probably is my second favorite album next to (1) Sister and (3) Dirty.
