** This list should be a lot longer. "Gaza", "Ocean Cloud", "Goodbye to All That", "The Invisible Man", "Neverland", pretty much all of ''Misplaced Childhood'', list goes on and on.

Added DiffLines:

** All of "Blind Curve" qualifies for this, but the last two parts ([[BSODSong "Perimeter Walk" and "Threshold"]]) are definitely the darkest moments of "Misplaced Childhood".

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Bits of ''Brave'' and, especially, ''Marbles''. [[MindScrew Drilling Holes]] stands out. Justified as it's a [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] homage.
** The Fish albums were obviously made on booze.
** WordOfGod says that the lyrics to ''Misplaced Childhood'' was largely written on acid.

Dork Age was renamed


* AudienceAlienatingEra: The 1997 - 1999 era is usually considered this. Whether 2001's ''Anoraknophobia'' ended or continued it is a point of debate.

%%** NarmCharm: And yet, it's a lot of people's favourite song and often compared to {{Music/Genesis}}' "Music/SuppersReady".

Cut trope. Can't tell if replacement or any others are applicable.


* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** "Forgotten Sons" may seem like yet another song about UsefulNotes/TheTroubles, but keep in mind that the ''Script for a Jester's Tear'' album came out in March of '83, and that in December that year, an IRA cell detonated a car bomb outside Harrod's.
** "Gaza". Probably their most {{Anvilicious}} song to date, and accused of having a CaptainObviousAesop... to which the song itself simply replies with "it just ain't right!"

* {{Anvilicious}}: ''Misplaced Childhood'' gets pretty preachy about the devastation caused by war towards the end of the album.



* {{Narm}}: "Grendel", also [[TheScottishTrope known]] as [[OldShame The Song Which Must Not Be Named]]. See PurpleProse.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: ''Misplaced Childhood'' gets pretty {{Anvilicious}} about the devastation caused by war towards the end of the album, but considering how many people ''still'' blindly support whatever wars their government wants them to support, it's a message that apparently needs to be hammered home again and again. ''Brave'' has its own anvils about things like the horrible effects of abuse, and again, they're still completely necessary.

* BrokenBase: Fish-era fans vs. Hogarth-era fans. Even though, as mentioned on the main page, both singers approve of each other's work with the band.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: The first time they pulled off the pre-order gambit. Doubles as a TakeThat to the music industry.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Any Rothery solo spot.
