Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* Alex's first post-Big Star album ''Like Flies on Sherbert'' takes the NightmareFuel present in ''Third/Sister Lovers'' and ratchets it UpToEleven. The lo-fi production and Alex going through what sounds like even more SanitySlippage just adds to the whole thing. The album feels almost [[Creator/DavidLynch Lynchian]] in design and execution.

* Almost all of ''Third/Sister Lovers'' can qualify. The band, now reduced to Alex, Jody and some session musicians, realized that they weren't going to possibly hit it big. This clearly shows in the final product. Alex sounds like he's going through a CreatorBreakdown and the whole album has a slightly-to-extremely unsettling atmosphere.
