* In the music video for "Just", a man lies down on the middle of the street for no reason, and when pushed to tell, causes everyone in hearing shot to lie down as well


Added DiffLines:

** The music video has a CGI stick figure in a world where everything's underwater who goes on a deep diving mission to find his old city. He finds his old house, sits in his old chair, and disconnects the oxygen tube.

* "Myxomatosis". Heavily distorted lead synth and guitar that constantly seems off-key? Check. Screeching organ in the background? Check. Vaguely ominous and brutal lyrics containing such lovely phrases like: "the mongrel cat came home holding half a head", "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis But now. I. Don't. Know. Why i. Feel. So. Tounge. Tied? "Don't. Know. Why. I feel. So. Skinned. Alive."]], and "twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis?" Check. An unnatural rhythm that defies any time signature? Check. And then you find out myxomatosis is a disease that gives rabbits huge skin tumors before killing them. Nice.

* The intro track, 15 Step" is a song about a failed love that uses metaphors connected to hanging, with instances such as the line revolving around the Title Drop ("15 steps, then a sheer drop"). It also keeps a consistent [[UncommonTime 5/4]] rhythm and consistent key until the very end of the song, which fades out on a distorted off-key chord. In the AnimatedMusicVideo, it's made even scarier with a completely OffModel gun zooming in toward the viewer.

* "Exit Music (For A Film). A song that was made for [[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet the film adaptation]] of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuilet''.And what do they have? The intense guitar and electronic choirs that accentuated its quiet beginning, the broken-sounding raw vocals, the drums kicking off, all of it?! Well, [[TearJerker they succeed it.]]

* The lyrics of "You And Whose Army" mostly consist of the narrator taunting someone else, with phrases like "Come on, come on. Come on if you think, come on if you think, you can take us on, you can take us on" and "You and whose army? You and your cronies?" However, the song is very mellow and gentle, with the melody played by quiet acoustic guitar, and sung in a downcast, defeated tone of voice. Hmmm.
* The upbeat, but still bone-chiling electronic riffs of "I Might Be Wrong".



* "Fast-Track". Nuff said.
