I think it really just depends on what song you're talking about and how you view them as a band. Personally, I'm a Christian and the line from Immaculate Misconception that goes, "I don't care if this offends you or your worthless God" always rubs me the wrong way. There's another song on the album Creatures that I don't know the title of at the moment but there's a line that goes, "I am the devil and I'm telling you to kill her." Which rubs me the wrong way just as much as the other line does so I'm not too fond those songs.

On the other hand, most of their lyrics are influenced by love and heartache, both of which we all experience as humans and I don't think that's so bad. There is a lot of anger in their music which isn't healthy in my opinion but again, it is a human feeling. Even God himself felt anger while he was on earth.

Music aside, I do think they're influential in the sense that half of the band is straight edge. I think it's amazing that they can potentially influence kids to stay away from alcohol and drugs by their own actions. Plus, as far as I see, they seem like good guys who treat others the way they want to be treated.

Again, it just depends on how you analyze their lyrics/over all message.
