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". |
