To be honest, I can't stand them anymore. I liked their old stuff, I think their first 2 albums are amazing, If It Was You is ok too, but their last 2 records, So Jealous and The Con, SUCK. Their old stuff was all about standing up for for yourself and things like that, but lately all their songs have just been complaining and whining about stuff, with no real meaning, really. They were my favorite band 4 or 5 years ago, but definitely not anymore.
Also, their musical style have changed so much throughout the years, you can't even consider their music to be "evolving" anymore. They're just too heavily influenced by other sources. Chris Walla from Death Cab For Cutie produced their last album The Con, and guess what, The Con sounds just like a Death Cab record.
If you want some GOOD music, check out...
The Matches, Meg & Dia, Joy Division, Interpol, Wolf Parade, Elliott Smith, The Bangles, Minus The Bear, Limbeck, The Offsprings, and Eisley.

i like them. I saw them in concert about 2 years ago at a rock festival. they were good (I like this song "walking with a ghost" - haven't listened to their new stuff though) and put a heckler in his place. Those girls rock!
