*** The album has two instances of a song being either preceded or followed by a reprise of it; the TitleTrack reprises and transitions into "Glósóli",flow and "Hoppípolla" transitions into each other quite well since the former is a reprise of the latter."Með blóðnasir", which essentially acts as an extended outro.

** "Hrafntinna" actually [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this. It definitely goes into one after the last chorus, as the song slowly falls apart until it's only the drums and hellish drones when Jonsi's distorted voice comes in but fades into a very mournful, but soothing horn section. "Brennestein" ends similarly, with a similarly downplayed but much more triumphant sounding horn section at the end.
