* {{Narm}}: Ricky's vocals...aren't very good. To be precise, he has a hard time hitting the high notes, and it occasionally sounds like he's just speaking rather than trying to sing on-key. While mediocre vocalists are nothing new in New Wave,[[note]][[Music/NewOrder Barney]] & [[Music/ThePsychedelicFurs Richard]], anyone?[[/note]] in "More To Lose", the despair of the lyrics is brought down by his singing's lack of technical ability.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: By hiding the band name, the group was able to really strike it big in the Philippines due to the country's New Wave [=DJs=], who were always on the prowl for a rare gem. They also had a following in Japan amongst teen girls due to Ricky's fine looks.

* Glurge: "More To Lose" is this trope combined with New Wave; the single is a BreakUpSong, but its overtly sentimental composition (combining both a piano riff and cloying synthesised main melody line) & mawkish lyrics ("[[PurpleProse we tore our hearts with jagged truths]]") make it more sappy and {{narm}}y than the TearJerker it's supposed to be. Creator/RickyGervais's [[HollywoodToneDeaf mediocre]] vocals (it sounds like he's ''just speaking'', for crying out loud!) do not help matters.

* TearJerker: ''All'' their songs except "Tell Her", but "More To Lose" is the finest example. The slightly triumphant instrumentation is only accentuated by the somber lyrics.
