* NotChristianRock: They turn to this trope from time to time. "Nova" in particular sounds like a man who's lost his faith and is begging for a sign from God (and could be played on a Christian station without raising any eyebrows). In addition to the aforementioned reading of Genesis 1:1 in "Kathy's Song", their song actually titled "Genesis" contains the line "I stand in hope that God will save us from ourselves."

* TheAntiNihilist: "Kingdom" (from ''Empires'') sounds at first like it's an example of StrawNihilist, but it's actually about this, as made clear by the chorus:
-->''And I believe that we'll conceive / To make in hell for us a heaven / A brave new world / A promised land / A fortitude of hearts and minds / Until I see this kingdom's mine / I'll turn the darkness into light / I'll guide the blind / My will be done until the day / I see our kingdom has been won'' - "Kingdom"

* CrowdSong: Not intended as such but it has become something of a tradition to sing along to the opening melody and the ending lines of ''Perpetual''.

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Praise The Fallen'' is lyrically noticeably darker than their debut.
* EpicRocking: They don't rock ''per se'', but they have a goodly number of fairly long songs- outstanding examples are "Ascension", "Solitary", "Beloved", "Airships", "Strata" and "Interceptor" (effectively [[SiameseTwinSongs one song split into two tracks]]), "Perpetual", "Radio" and "Teleconnect Pt. 2", all of which are well over 7 minutes. Listing all the songs that go above 6 minutes would be a fruitless exercise- that's more than half their total number of songs...
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: Most of their albums open with these. Many are part of SiameseTwinSongs.
* EtherealChoir: Synths imitating this sound are common in their songs- "Electronaut" and "Lost Horizon" are good examples.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Happens from time to time.

Changed line(s) 31 (click to see context) from:
* SpokenWordInMusic: Fairly often.
to:
** "Generator", "Lost Horizon" and "Aeroscope" from ''Transnational''.
* LighterAndSofter: Musically, they've become less abrasive on their most recent albums. Lyrically, nothing they've done since ''Praise The Fallen'' really matches that album for sheer misery.
* MadnessMantra / SurvivalMantra: "Fearless", from ''Futureperfect'', has a mantra as part of its chorus that really blurs this line between the two and counts as both:
-->''I am not alone / I am not afraid / I am not unhappy'' - "Fearless"
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: As an EBM / Futurepop band, they usually manage to be in the 3-5 range (the songs that manage 5 do so because of distortion on the drum machine and synths), though they have a fair few songs that go lower as well.
* NewSoundAlbum: All of their first three albums are obvious examples of this, especially ''Empires''. ''Futureperfect'' is another slight example, since it ups the {{Trance}} quotient some. ''Matter + Form'' adds harder, more "live"-sounding drum loops to the equation from time to time as well as more distorted synth sounds, and ''Automatic'' noticeably ups the SynthPop aspect of their sound.
* SiameseTwinSongs: "Strata" and "Interceptor" off ''Matter + Form'' are basically one song split in two. Also, many of the intro {{Instrumentals}} count as this when combined with the first actual songs on their respective albums.
* SpokenWordInMusic: Fairlyoften.often.
* SynthPop: A prominent influence on the sound from their second album on, and their later albums are arguably full examples of the genre.
* TropeCodifier: For the Futurepop subgenre of {{Industrial}} Music.
