The band re-formed in 1997, this time using Suzanne Wooder as lead vocalist, and released its second album, ''Take My Head'', two years later. It used electronica and beat loops to nice effects, but Wooder didn't stay in the band. Since then, Archive has released five more albums, ''You All Look The Same To Me'' in 2002, ''Noise'' in 2004, ''Lights'' in 2006, ''Controlling Crowds'' in 2009 and ''With Us Until You're Dead'' in 2012. The general evolution of the band's music has been away from Trip-Hop and towards Progressive Rock.

Fronted by Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths, Archive released its first album, ''Londinium'', in 1996; lead vocals were by Roya Arab and Rosko John.

Added DiffLines:

* IHateSong: "Fuck You" is a song about undying hatred towards someone. However, due to one line it's also interpreted as intense ''self-hatred''.
* RefrainFromAssuming: "Bullets," which was used in a teaser for the video game ''VideoGame/{{Cyberpunk 2077}}'', is sometimes called "Personal Responsibility."
* StillSucksThumb: The singer of "Fuck You" suggests the person he loathes still sucks his thumb as a way to demean them.
-->''Bet you sleep, like a child, with your thumb in your mouth. I could creep up beside and put a gun in your mouth.''
