Face Of The Band is being cut per TRS.

* ValuesDissonance: Certain lines on their albumes were okay in the late seventies and early eighties that are definitely not okay today, such as the use of the word "spastic" on "So What".
* WhatAnIdiot: In all honestly, what did they ''think'' was going to happen with the "Thatchergate" tape as a "protest", '''especially''' with the TraumaCongaLine they were enduring? It's a surprise they even stayed together until 1984.

** Special mention has to go to "Bloody Revolutions", which ''mercilessly'' attacks naïve Marxists that think a little violent revolution is all it will take to liberate the people, by pointing out that it's already been tried and resulted almost always in military dictatorships.

Magnum Opus has been declared In Universe Examples Only per TRS.


* MagnumOpus: Usually within ''The Feeding of the 5000'' and ''Christ: The Album''. Fans of more avant-garde material may also cite ''Penis Envy'' or ''Yes Sir, I Will''. The last of these seems to have been consciously crafted with this trope in mind, as the band members had already decided to break up in 1984 and had good reason to suspect it would be their last album.

** ''The Sound of Free Speech" on the original release of ''The Feeding of the 5000'' is just ''two minutes of silence'' to protest against print companies that didn't want to press "Asylum" due to it being blasphemous.
