-->''The nice thing is that it's a story told from two points of view and Simon got married last year and I think it's a love record in that regard, it's about his relationship with his new wife. A lot of it is about trying to take arguments from somebody else's point of view and be able to see two sides of the picture. I guess a lot of it is about the revolutions in life and revolutions in relationships and those sort of things, just the stuff everyone goes through at different points in their life.''\\

** Generally averted by ''A Celebration of Endings'' and ''The Myth of the Happily Ever After''. Some of the tracks were inspired by personal and real world events, and, as a result, feature some of Simon Neil’s most direct songwriting.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: James and Ben
** They're more likely to be fraternal twins - Ben's gone bald, while James has (so far) retained a full head of hair (although if you look at earlier photos, taken when Ben still had hair, it's incredibly difficult to tell them apart).
* AlbumTitleDrop: Played straight on ''Blackened Sky'' opener "Joy. Discovery. Invention". Inverted on ''Puzzle'', which has the name drop on b-side "Scared of Lots of Everything".
