* InTheStyleOf: Like "Setting Sun" from the previous album, "Let Forever Be" is also inspired by The Beatles' "[[Music/RevolverBeatlesAlbum Tomorrow Never Knows]]", right down to having Noel Gallagher being the guest vocalist. Despite that, both "Setting Sun" and "Let Forever Be" are very different songs.

!!Trope:Response
* BusbyBerkeleyNumber: The music video for "Let Forever Be", directed by Creator/MichelGondry, features a woman constantly moving through sets via bizarre transitions and choreographed movement between the woman and her countless duplicates. Probably the only one to involve a drumming hobo.

* EpicRocking: "Out of Control" (7:20) and "The Sunshine Underground" (8:38).
* FadingIntoTheNextSong:
** "Under the Influence" → "Out of Control";
** "Got Glint?" → "Hey Boy Hey Girl" → "Surrender" → "Dream On".
* HiddenTrack: "Dream On" ends at five minutes into the song, and after brief period of silence, an jangly instrumental outro of said song starts to play before it fades out again.
* LimitedLyricsSong: Bordering on [[TitleOnlyChorus Title Only Song]], with the lyrics of the song being only a sampled clip of a woman saying "I was under the influence".
** Closer "Dream On" contains the lyrics "''Sleep on, dream on''", which are {{looped|Lyrics}} on the track.
* OneWordTitle: ''Surrender''.
* QuestioningTitle: "Got Glint?"
* {{Sampling}}:
** "Music:Response" samples "Make It Hot", a hit by by R&B singer Nicole featuring Music/MissyElliott released a year prior to the album;
