While the Bears album was a little more pop (and certainly more
mainstream) than other projects Belew has worked on, I would hardly
say that he has sold out.  I saw the Bears in Boulder last spring and
they cooked!  Aside from playing a LOT of King Crimson and Belew solo
pieces, they did several songs from the album.  My over all impression
is that they were all very good musicians who were doing exactly what
they wanted to do: have fun.  I don't think that they were too
concerned about being popular (or alienating people who thought that
was their purpose).
