In my opinion, I think Washing Machine is somewhat seen as a turn-off because of the opening tracks. I don't think the first 3 tracks are album-worthy. I don't know if I've even listened to them more than a couple times. Once you get to the title track and beyond, it's literally some of SY at their best, but man, what's up with those 3 tracks. It set's a bad tone for the rest of the album.
I still remember getting it the day it came out and the disappointment by the time I got to track 3. I wonder if those first tracks kinda killed it's potential to be hailed one of their best?
