* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: They usually range from 2 to 6. Their more reggae stuff tends to be a 2 or 3, while their heavier alternative rock or rap rock stuff tends to be a 5 or 6. On rare occasions, they reach a 7, with songs like "T&P Combo", "Sever", "Livin' & Rockin'" and "Solar Flare". They've even reached as high as an 8 with "What Was I Thinking?". Also, the song "Soulsucker" starts out as a 2, only to jump into an 8, and then repeats the process.
