And the Beatles still sounded like the Beatles.
They went from the California Punk sound with quick, energetic, short and poppy songs with clever lyrics to slower, more focused but longer songs, telling stories.
Billie Joe Armstrong still sounded like Billie Joe Armstrong. They didn't abandon their roots, but saying they didn't see a very distinct evolution from the late 80s to the early 00s is inaccurate to what they did.
Was it as drastic as something like Rush's change from the Prog Rock late 60s and 70s to the pop synth of the 80s? No. But not everything has to be drastic.
