1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The band has a huge catalog of amazing music, but most will say ''Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Light'' is best contender.
2* BrokenBase: ''Woods IV: The Green Album'' isn't very liked by the metal community and is seen as very inferior in comparison to the very intense album of ''Woods 3''.
3* EnsembleDarkhorse: David Gold's mother, Esther Gold, affectionately called "[[FanNickname Mama Gold]]" by the fans is this. Considering she connects to the fans like her son always did and even speaks about how he's always with them and her. Can sometimes veer into heartwarming to tearjerking for a mourning mother...
4* EpilepticTrees: When ''Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Light'' came out, fans theorized that David Gold ''may'' have known his time was coming, considering the sheer foreshadowing of his impending death and the concept of mourning the dead but focusing on the living, especially with the final track "Alternative Ending" ('Back on the highway...'), considering how he passed. Fans have either thought this as either Gold knowing he was going to pass or was ''sheer'' coincidence.
5** A ''darker'' theory is that David was DrivenToSuicide, considering as one sees the lasts twitter posts he had some pretty TearJerker and upsetting posts regarding how emotional ''Woods 5'' was for him and the sheer thought of life and suffering. However fans usually dismiss this theory out of respect for Gold's family (specifically his mother).
6* HarsherInHindsight: ''Everything'' off of ''Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Light'' is about not focusing on death and looking at what's your life becomes painful when you learn what happened to David Gold.
7** "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery". Nuff said.
8** "Wet Leather".
9---> ''"Life is just pain and piss''
10---> ''It's nothing that I will miss."''
11* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Oddly enough, "Dirty Window of Opportunity: "Can You Get Here in 10 Days?"" pretty much states to recover from your pain and suffering, as like a challenge to heal your wounds and see if you either want to return to your old life or redo it.
12-->'''''[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre Can you get here in 10 days? Yes I can!]]'''''
13** ''Woods 5'' might as well be called "Live Life to the Fullest: The Album".
14* {{Narm}} / NarmCharm: With David Gold's tendencies to be very emotionally raw in his lyrics, a lot of their discography can have these; "Wet Leather" in particular has the cheesy line "Life is just pain and piss".
15** The two music videos the band made - for "The Northern Cold" and "I Was Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery" - are also subject to this, with the video for "The Northern Cold" specifically reminding some fans of a certain [[Music/ImmortalBand Norwegian black metal band's]] videos.
16** The entirety of the song "Move On", considering the incredibly {{Wangst}} about a woman leaving you.
17* SignatureSong: "Your Ontario Town is a Burial Ground", "The Northern Cold", "Kiss My Ashes (Goodbye)", "Lightning and Snow".
18* TearJerker: "Shards of Love".
19** "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery", ever so much.
20** "By the Time You Read This (I Will Already Be Dead)", pretty much borderlines DrivenToSuicide.
21** Everything off of ''Woods 5'' is this, due to the sheer HarsherInHindsight of David's passing.
22** David's passing is just ''tragic'', considering nobody saw it coming and he was even in the middle of finishing up ''Woods 5''. Those who got a chance to interact with David considered him a ''very'' NiceGuy, and to see him gone is devastating.
23*** More ''darker'' theories range that David could have [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]] due to how bleak he was on Twitter, but those theories are usually thrown out the window out of respect for him and his family.
