!!Tropes:
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Conspicuously averted in the video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKd6GfzpvdY "My Sweet Mystery"]]: Hurtsi is depicted as grimly and methodically pounding his drums in several close-ups.
* MaleBandFemaleSinger: Like [[Music/{{Nightwish}} her previous band]], Anette is the frontwoman for a PowerMetal band composed entirely of men.
* PowerBallad: "Someone You Used to Know" starts with just Anette and a piano and gradually adds in other instruments until the whole band is playing SoftRock by about the three-minute mark.
* SopranoAndGravel: Usually not used, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eidS1nyQB50 "Dead to Me"]] has a few moments of Music/{{Epica}}-like roars from the male backing vocalists.
* StarCrossedLovers: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZsuGtv3-co "The Ghost and the Reaper"]] speaks of a princess and a knight, a ghost and a reaper, duos that seem to go together but always in a self-destructive manner that ensures they will never be together.
