    This band started in the early '00s as a pretty standard contemporary Christian rock band. Then over the years, they gradually became SO much more, becoming a genuinely thrilling progressive/experimental rock band with hauntingly gorgeous melodies and arrangements. To me this is best exemplified by their self-titled final album, released in 2015, which I truly believe is a criminally underrated masterpiece.

    FFO: Anberlin, The Dear Hunter, brilliant melodic rock music

    @CoffeeEyes17 I think you'd really love the song I linked above, it's off their self-titled album.

    Man, I loved this band. I feel like they never got the attention they deserved because their first 2 albums were slightly "bro-rock." Their later stuff was so good.

    Yeah I totally agree, I think both their early sound, and them being very explicitly Christian rock early on, ended up limiting the audience for their phenomenal later work. But man... what an evolution.
