* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Of a sort. Since the label "[[Christian Rock]]" is essentially a kiss of death for any band looking for mainstream fame, the band writes lyrics in such a way as to avoid making direct references to their faith, while making it clear that they're believers. It worked well enough that subsequent Christian rock bands (such as [[Flyleaf (Music)|Flyleaf]], Skillet and [[Creed (Music)|Creed]]) have done the same thing.

** They get crap past their [[Christian Rock]] fan base on several occasions as well. "Lights Out" contains the line "we tore the roof off this mother". "On the Grind", featuring members of "secular" hip hop groups Psycho Realm and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., is PG-rated [[Gangsta Rap]] replete with references to violent thuggery and "pimpin'. The same song unambiguously mentions the female genitalia in its first verse. On several songs the band refer to themselves as "OGs" (original gangsters). The mild profanities "hell yeah" and "damn" show up on "If It Wasn't for You" and "Kaliforn-Eye-A", respectively. Their early song "Live and Die" samples a line from "Gangsta Gangsta" by [[N.W.A. (Music)|N.W.A.]], "And here's the plot: takin' niggaz out with a flurry of buckshots."

* [[The Matrix (Film)|The Matrix]]: "Sleeping Awake", a song they recorded for "The Matrix Reloaded".

* [[New Sound Album]]: ''Payable On Death'', ''When Angels & Serpents Dance''.
