They are indeed hard to classify because their sound changed over the course of their career. The last two are not emo at all, IMO, which is why I said what I said. Defining emo band for the second wave of emo, basically. The softer kind. The first wave was a lot more hardcore (Rites of Spring, Embrace, etc).
None of this really matters though...just buy tickets for the show!
