Their first albums; ''Advance And Follow'' and ''Praise The Fallen'' had a sound best described as "Symphonic EBM." Their breakthrough album, ''Empires'', evolved the sound by incorporating the influence of {{Trance}} music. The result was the TropeCodifier for Futurepop and many still consider ''Empires'' the best Futurepop album ever made. The following album, ''Futureperfect'', increased the trance influence slightly, leading some of their fanbase to argue TheyChangedItNowItSucks and GenreAdultery. Afterwards, the album ''Matter + Form'' was released; the album demonstrated a more 'retro' sound based on vintage analog synthesizers and incorporated more SynthPop influence than usual. ''Judgment''; released in 2007, continued this trend but with more frequent nods towards the groups {{Industrial}} heritage. Ditto for 2010's ''Of Faith, Power, and Glory''.

* MadLibsDialogue: Their remix of Apoptygma Berzerk's "Kathy's Song" begins with a Microsoft Sam-esque voice reading out an extended/modified version of [[Literature/TheBible Genesis 1:1]]

* NotChristianRock: They turn to this trope from time to time. "Nova" in particular sounds like a man who's lost his faith and is begging for a sign from God (and could be played on a Christian station without raising any eyebrows). In addition to the aforementioned reading of Genesis 1:1 in "Kathy's Song", their song actually titled "Genesis" contains the line "I stand in hope that God will save us from ourselves."
