* BrokenBase: ''The Incredible Machine'' proved to be a ''very'' divisive album. Critics and fans alike are pretty much split between saying that the album's awesome or horrible, with very few in-betweens. Most of the haters dislike the more pop-oriented sound and lightweight lyrics.
* OvershadowedByControversy: Much of their musical career seems to have taken a backseat to the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Babe" sounds more like a mid-transition Music/TaylorSwift song (probably because it ''is''), whilst the video is basically the same as Music/SamSmith's "I'm Not the Only One".
* WinBackTheCrowd: Zig-zagged. While ''Bigger'' got largely positive reviews especially compared to the divisive ''The Incredible Machine'', the singles performed atrociously on the charts and discussion of the album was largely colored by the Indiana State Fair incident.
