History YMMV / Celldweller

* NarmCharm: "Heart On", if the IncrediblyLamePun is any indication.
** "Good L_ck (Yo_'re F_cked)" turns this up to eleven.

** "Good L_ck (Yo_'re F_cked)" turns this UpToEleven.

** "The Angel of iO", one of the few vocal tracks from ''SVH Vol. 1''. You get the impression that the first half was meant for a horror movie. Towards the beginning and end, parts of the track are slightly [[UncannyValley out of sync]], and for the first half, the synths and vocals are kinda muffled, as if it's underwater or playing through a wall.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: He's one of the very few NuMetal artists that isn't completely despised by Metal-Heads everywhere. Many of them call him, "Music/LinkinPark if they had more talent."

* HilariousInHindsight[=/=]{{Irony}}: One of the many abandoned projects during the ''Wish Upon a Blackstar'' era was a music video... for "I Can't Wait".

** VindicatedByHistory: It has since died down, however, as he has become well-respected after the heavy music fandom turned its sights [[{{Crunkcore}} on]] [[{{Deathcore}} other]] [[{{Dubstep}} genres]].

* OldShame: How he felt about Circle of Dust, ''[[UptoEleven especially]]'' the first album.
* ReimaginingTheArtifact: Resurrecting Circle of Dust and doing re-released versions of the old Circle of Dust, Brainchild and Argyle Park albums.

* SignatureSong: "Switchback", "Own Little World", "Shapeshifter", "Eon", "Unshakeable", "End of an Empire".

** "[[DrivenToSuicide The Gre]][[TheLostLenore at Divide]]". Although, sonically, it's SweetDreamsFuel, [[LyricalDissonance lyrically?]]

* HoYay: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]] {{Subverted|Trope}}. In a Ustream session, one chat member asked him if he ''bummed''[[labelnote:*]]being a British slang term for anal sex[[/labelnote]] [[Music/BlueStahli Bret]]. He avoided the question completely and just rambled on about how he used to watch Creator/MontyPython and how he wishes he was British.

** His at the time most recent album ''Offworld'' has also earned somewhat mixed reception, if mostly for the fact that only half of the songs on it are original while the rest are just remixes of ''Circle Of Dust'' and ''Scandroid'' songs as well as a couple of other artists'.

** The promotional video for ''End of an Empire: Love''; the heart logo is drawn with blood that's dripping down the console.

* BrokenBase: There is a healthy amount of fans that like both the old and the new Celldweller, but there is also a very vocal part of the fanbase still waiting for another album like the self-titled debut. Starting to incorporate electronic elements more heavily turned a portion of the fanbase off, and he was even accused of selling out when he started doing dubstep. It seems some naysayers have come around with End of an Empire, though.
