* AntiHero: Jimmy is actually quite an unpleasant person, being somewhat racist and homophobic (though this may be a case of DeliberateValuesDissonance, particularly as the album's storyline is set in the early-to-mid-1960s), and at one point he makes comments about desiring to rape a girl. However, the fact that he is likely saying these things because of his depression and drug addiction keep him from being irredeemable for most fans.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Helpless Dancer," "Bell Boy," "Is It Me?" and "Love, Reign O'er Me" are foreshadowed in the title track and "I Am the Sea".
