I think they stand out far more than most run of the mill pop rock bands. Watching there "Loaded" on Fuse right now, and just can't find anything negative to say about these dudes. A great message behind there music, even the new album isn't shallow and weak like most of these bands.
Not to deny the obvious shift in sound from album to album, I think anytime a band gets national or mainstream attention, they get hated on or called "sell-outs". I think there earlier albums are more solid as whole units, there best current songs are just as strong as there best older songs. The future torch holders of rock royalty and they aren't going anywhere.
