There was actually an interview where Dexter says something along the lines of losing old fans and gaining new ones. They don't really care, they want people to enjoy their music, no matter if it's "punk" or not. So I don't think they try to reach out and reconnect with old fans.

And their sound changed...they still make songs like Trust In You, Long Way Home, Never Gonna Find Me, Lightning Rod, Conspiracy Of One, Come Out Swinging, etc. They're still kinda punk, right? Right? Aw, who cares anyway?

Just enjoy the music.
I just wish they'd write more songs like Trust In You and Come Out Swinging and less like Fix You and Kristy.
