* DarkerAndEdgier: 'The Upsides' was a lot more mature than 'Get Stoked On It!' It only got more darker and mature from there:
** 'Suburbia, I've Given You Everything And Now I'm Nothing' deals with the feeling of loneliness and homesickness that being a touring musician brings. Although it's unclear if Soupy [[HomeSweetHome likes]] South Philly or [[HatedHometown not]]. (Probably not.)
** 'The Greatest Generation' deals with TheGenerationGap, growing up with UsefulNotes/{{Depression}} and losing family.
** 'No Closer To Heaven' mainly consists of Soupy's [[DespairEventHorizon grief]] and [[IShouldHaveBeenBetter guilt over being unable to help prevent the death of guitarist Mike Kelly]], [[DeathSeeker his own suicidal thoughts]] and [[GuiltComplex his regrets for everything else he's done wrong]].
* DarkReprise: Zig-zagged between this and TriumphantReprise in "I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral" from 'The Greatest Generation'. [[LyricalDissonance While the music is full of energy, the lyrics are taken from previous songs in the album and as such the song is rather sad]]. It fits the tone of the album though.
* DownerEnding: 'The Greatest Generation' ends with 'I Just Want To Sell, Out My Funeral', which ends on a verse about how wanting to be a great person is no longer an admirable goal. 'No Closer to Heaven' ends with the titular song, about how Soupy will never truly find happiness (or heaven, in this case).
** Notably averted in the video for "Cigarettes and Saints".
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Get Stoked On It'' is far less mature lyrically than their trademark later sound.

* RayOfHopeEnding: "Came Out Swinging" is a fairly bleak song, describing the narrator's emotional and mental decline and depressed state he's fallen into. However it does end on a fairly optimistic note:
