I think I gravitate towards that rather than away, tbh; worship / gospel vibes = fine; actual worship of Jesus = no thank you

Its actually a great Matt and Jeff album. Got Some has some fantastic moments too. The Fixer and Johnny Guitar are awesome.
yeah, ATW showcases the rhythm section nicely for me

I also love the lyrics too.
There are a few lines that got me hard back then.

first it was eroneous "alpha male" wolf science
now it's unusually large wolf shlong science
both of these fake sciences fit a theme of aggressively obnoxious patriarchy
in this essay, I will...

Resurrection erection aside, as far as the music? Doesn't sound like any denomination of gospel I've ever heard.
I'm far from a holy roller. but, those lyrics are more humanitarian than anything else to my ears. Call em cheese, call em cliche, but, the person in the song has definitely been through it and seen some shit. They resonate with me.

Not like Gospel, but like CCM. Contemporary Christian music. It's one of the absolute worst, blandest subgenres

Oh right LOL. Sounds like the kind of music they occasionally play when my local PBS Create affiliate is doing a fundraiser. Or...the theme song of Star Trek: Enterprise.
I always weirdly liked that song. Hilarious when they tried and horribly failed to "rock it up" starting in season 3. AM I a jesus lover? Probably not...just a cheesy, maudlin bastard.

oh god it does sound like worship music. just when I thought I couldn't hate it more.
Ed banging on about his soul being saved really doesn't help.
