I've yet to hear a hook that has grabbed me in anything I've heard out of them. Nothing sticks in my head at all. I couldn't sing a lyric back to you if you offered me $1,000,000.
I mean, don't get me wrong, there must be something I'm missing because they've got such a strong following...I'm just saying, for me, it doesn't even close to do it.

Absolutely fair. Their concept is a five-part sci fi story, but the albums are released in the order (relating to the story) of:
2, 3, 4, 5, 1
So their last album, the fourth, concluded the story, and their next will be the introduction.
If you're looking for a place to start with them, I suggest the songs "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3", "The Crowing", "Everything Evil", and "Junesong Provision".
What do you think of Anberlin?
