For all the talk of how the band was trying too hard to sound weird on the middle period albums, I think Vitalogy is the weirdest this band ever got. There hasn't been anything as "out there" as Stupid Mop since.
I would still say he's right, though--it's not an apt descriptor for the album as a whole, only for a few deliberately offbeat tracks that seem to shoulder a disproportionate percentage of the album's reputation.
Oh, sure. It's more a comment on how little sense it makes when people who have Vitalogy as one of their all-time favorite albums see the middle period albums as too experimental/difficult.

The key distinction between the two eras is not really one being more weird or experimental than the other as much as it is the presentation of the songs. I think it makes more sense to emphasize the inward or outward energy of the songs. At any rate, Vitalogy really bridges those two periods, and I imagine most people who are not in love with that middle run of records are probably not especially enamored with the 'experimental' tracks on vitalogy
