* SanitySlippageSong: "The Moments in Between" is about a man dreaming of paradise and waking up to a living hell.
* TakeThat: "I Hate Music" castigates the shallowness of modern radio music, meaningless "talent shows" on TV, and how the quality of music in recent times has seemed to gone down the drain over time.
-->"There was a time when you couldn't fake your game,\\
You turned the red light on and you delivered the goods,\\
Or you were chased off-stage by someone else who could,\\
You were making magic, or you couldn't make nothing at all\\
\\
I hate music, if that's what you call music, that's for sure\\
If you're amused by the polysonic zoom, well, it's all yours\\
Every day, there's a new song being played that sounds like hell\\
Whoever puts that garbage must love the smell\\
\\
You can listen to whatever you like, I try to keep it bottled up inside,\\
But don't pretend it's not polluting the world, as it plays on and on and on and on\\
Somewhere they must have lost their way, and threw their souls out for attention and fame,\\
Their taste is bad, their opinions are wrong, they make awful shit, but the radio keeps playing their songs..."
* TitleDrop: The album title ''This is What Happens'' is taken from one of the lines in "Comfort in the Orchestration", while ''Play With Fire'' comes from the very last lyric of the album, from the song "The Man, the Wood & the Stone."
* TruckDriversGearChange: The band ''loves'' this trope. A short list of songs featuring this trope: "Needle and Thread" (G minor to C minor), "Great Blue Sea" (D# minor to G# minor to D minor), "Till We Make Our Ascent" (D major to C# minor to E minor and back to D major), "Thrill of the Fall" (C minor to A# minor), "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" (D# minor to D minor), "Battling the Years" (A# minor to D# minor), "Help It" (A minor to A# minor), "Make a Sound" (G minor to G# minor), "Romancing a Stranger" (A# minor to G minor).
* UncommonTime: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJWuXfiXYI0 "Thrill of the Fall"]] is set in the highly uncommon time signature of ''7/8'' (though there is one 4/4 measure in the bridge, when Joe sings "I keep knocking at the door"). It's incredibly difficult to follow the rhythm on the first listen.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfdbIutZa_E "The Hero, The Saint, The Tyrant, And The Terrorist"]] uses 5/4 (like the ''Film/MissionImpossible'' theme).
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CkTLcwLeno "Feeling in the Night"]] plays fast and loose with this trope. It starts out with a relatively consistent 5/4 timing, but it only gets more confusing from the bridge onward.
* [[WordSaladTitle Word Salad Name]]: According to Joe, the band got their name from a bunch of words Mike Carroll made up.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The theme of the song "Impossible World".
