Kamina Ayato may seem like an average boy in a devastated world, but after being captured by TERRA, a military organization set on saving the world from the Mu, an alien race set on "tuning" the world, he realizes he is an instrument in deciding the fate of humanity and piloting RahXephon. Not only is Ayato the only person who can control the mecha, but he also has a terrible fate of his own. Holding onto memories of his old life and grasping to keep his own humanity, he must struggle in this new world and realize his true potential with RahXephon.

If you're looking for a good mecha anime with dramatic subplot and unbelivably good soundtrack then here you are. Beside the excellent music there are of course other similarities, like in EVERY other mecha series there's an overreacting mega sesnsitive main character with his tragic past and the always-popular-save-the-world-through-fighting theme. Nothing shocking but it's worth watching for the soundtrack alone.

The fate of Japan and the entire world now lie with these children, though they might not have the power to save the most important thing of all: each other.
Both Gundam SEED Destiny and Evangelion feature gigantic robots fighting, a very complex (yet completely different) plot, and have an emphasis on character development and character relationships. So if you liked those aspects of either show the other is a nice choice.
