14	----
15	!!This band provides examples of:
16	%%* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Elephants" features one.
17	* EpicRocking: Only three of their songs didn't reach four minutes, with two ("Warsaw or the First Breath You Take After You Give Up", "Spinning in Daffodils") being over 7.
18	%%* FakeOutFadeOut: "Spinning in Daffodils".
19	%%* FelonyMisdemeanor: "You ''foreign tourist!''" ("Reptiles")
20	* HeroicBSOD: "Scumbag Blues" describes one, inflicted by the VillainProtagonist: "You go cold, like a stare/as if no one could compare/and you will know... despair..."
21	%%* IntercourseWithYou: "No One Loves Me & Neither Do I"
22	* LastNoteHilarity: "Mind Eraser, No Chaser", otherwise one of their heavier songs, ends with about 20 seconds of a comical-sounding tuba march.
23	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: "Elephants". ''Slick back his hair, you know the devil's in there...''
24	* MustHaveCaffeine: Dave Grohl, according to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhdCslFcKFU this video]]. FRESH POTS! Apparently Grohl drank so much coffee he had to be hospitalized for a caffeine overdose.
25	* NonAppearingTitle: "Scumbag Blues," "Warsaw or the First Breath You Take After You Give Up" and "Interlude with Ludes".
26	* RockTrio: Josh on guitar and vocals, John Paul on bass and extra instruments, Dave on drums.
27	* SomethingBlues: "Scumbag Blues".
28	* ToxicFriendInfluence: "Dead End Friends" is seemingly about this: the singer recognising that [[NotSoDifferentRemark "we're the same, my dead end friends and I"]], that they're engaged in [[ViciousCycle "a neverending begin"]], yet embracing it anyway.
29	* VillainSong: "Scumbag Blues". The very first line is "Innocence has no resistance against the wicked counsel of such as I".
30	%%* {{Yandere}}: "Inderlude with Ludes".
