* CreepyAwesome: "Micro Cuts." Eerie, high-pitched singing and ominous lyrics that stemmed from a particularly disturbing series of nightmares make it extremely creepy. However the singing is a Moment of Awesome in itself and the shredding riffs that form the outro is definitely epic as well.
** To a lesser extent is "Ruled By Secrecy", which feels cold and sinister but also gently uplifting in a rather odd combination.

** The remaster of Music/AbsolutionAlbum has fans debating over its quality. Some say it's a genuine improvement that cleaned up the muddy mixing and production of the original. Some say it was just a change that induced the placebo effect, but has enough issues to outweigh the benefits, such as inconsistent volumes of tracks and instruments across the release, especially for the Dolby Atmos version and a a very overpriced $130 boxset despite not having very much bonus content to make up for it.

** Is Matt's habit of loudly inhaling a [[RuleOfCool cool addition that makes their songs even more intense]], or is it just [[DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound plain annoying]]?

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: While most of their more recent material have taken on a message that's relatively simple to get, their earlier albums are sometimes considered this by non-fans... [[WildMassGuessing and even by fans themselves.]] Case in point, most of the lyrics [[IndecipherableLyrics (that can actually be understood)]] on ''Origin of Symmetry'', a lot of the last ''Absolution'' songs (we're looking at you, "[[MindScrew Ruled by Secrecy]]"), and even some from ''Black Holes and Revelations'' ("City of Delusion", anyone?). [[BrokenBase Some people will tell you that]] ''[[BrokenBase that]]'' [[BrokenBase period in their discography was their best, while others disagree.]]

** ''Origin of Symmetry'' as a whole is plagued by a raw, but very strong and strange vibe throughout its entire runtime and murky lyrics concerning insanity, obsession, and the fear of tecnhology.

** "Will of the People" is generally treated as the weakest track on its album for the [[BrokenRecord repeated chant]], generic sound, and tone-deaf sampling of "The Beautiful People", especially given the sexual assault allegations that disgraced Music/MarylinManson.
