Default Bands you wouldn't recognize a few albums ago

This thread is dedicated to all those bands who have gone a few years in between albums, who then suddenly come out with something that makes you say "what the f*ck? that CAN'T be ____!!" Or for those bands who became popular with a style that is on the total opposite side of the spectrum than what they started out with.

I'll start it off with Sugar Ray. Remember all those happy, poppy songs popping up on the old Now albums and Big Shiny Tunes CD's (for the Canucks at least). All those teenie-bopper junior high dance anthems like Fly, when it's over, etc.

Here's a few songs from their first album:

YouTube - 10 Seconds Down - Sugar Ray

YouTube - Mean Machine - Sugar Ray

and now here's one of the newest ones:

YouTube - Sugar Ray - Every Morning

quite the difference
