Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: Nate's voice with the vocoder effects in "Stars". It becomes downright unsettling near the end.
** While it was on his solo album, the music video for Nate Ruess's "AhHa" definitely fits the Uncanny Valley.

** Likewise the AutoTune and Vocoder solos at the ending and during the climax of "Stars," though it's more just {{Narm}} when he starts yelling hysterically through a harmonizing effect around five minutes in.

Took out Fridge Horror and Fridge Brilliance entries; now moved to the new Fridge page for fun.


* FridgeBrilliance: As "Stars" goes on, the autotune on Nate Ruess's voice gets heavier and heavier (starting out nonexistent, then rather subtle, then obvious, progressing all the way to a bizarre, auto-harmonizing vocoder that makes him sound inhuman), fitting the song's lyrics about how hollow and soulless fame can turn out to be.
* FridgeHorror: In "We Are Young"; it talks about a scar and the lead singer having given it to the woman months ago.
