Starting with a single, Grace, the Snow is Here (1998), the band progressed to an eponymous EP (also 1998), followed by A Lull In Traffic (2000, another EP) followed by their first full-length album, Start Here in 2002.
Mineral was definitely firmly ensconced in the Emo genre, but The Gloria Record is a bit more of a crossover, with much more in the way of mainstream rock/pop influence; the mood, though, is definitely downbeat.
The Gloria Record disbanded in the spring of 2004, with Gomez and Hubbard going on to perform with Austin's "Glass Family" and Chris Simpson pursuing solo projects under the name Zookeeper.

The Gloria Record Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one that moves so slow,
It makes you wonder if you're ever going to hear the next note
The way that feet moved slow through Denver December snow,
Past cars that got stuck in the road
(that winter when I asked what a fourteen year old boy
Could possibly know about forever, and you told me a lot).

Drove home to that achingly long song:
I drove home while listening to an overly long song
The one that moves so slow,
This song has a slow rhythm
It makes you wonder if you're ever going to hear the next note
The slow pace of the song creates suspense as to when the next note will be played
The way that feet moved slow through Denver December snow,
I walked slowly through the snowy streets of Denver in December
Past cars that got stuck in the road
I passed by cars that were stuck on the road due to the snowy conditions
(that winter when I asked what a fourteen year old boy
I asked a question when I was a fourteen-year-old boy during that winter
Could possibly know about forever, and you told me a lot).
I asked about the concept of forever and you gave me a lot of information and insight

Loving the sound of that bass!
the corals are dying
Drove home to that achingly long song
the one that moves so slow
It makes you wonder if you're ever going to hear
the next note
The way that feet moved slow through Denver December snow
past cars that got stuck in the road
That winter when I asked you what
a fourteen year old boy
Could possibly know about forever, and you told me a lot
