16 | ---- |
17 | !They provide examples of the following tropes: |
18 | * AffectionateParody: The music video for "Your Biggest Fan" is nearly a shot-for-shot parody of Rob Reiner's "Misery" |
19 | * AIIsACrapshoot: The lyrics for the song "AI Freaks Me Out" contain multiple paranoid theories about robots. |
20 | * AudienceParticipationSong: |
21 | ** "Godzilla". Most typically, the audience sing the chorus vocal, specifically the "go-go-Godzilla" chant. |
22 | * BadassBoast - "Top of the World" gives us this absolute gem |
23 | -->Must've fallen down about a hundred times |
24 | -->But I pulled myself up, created my luck, now I'm fresh out of [[PrecisionFStrike fucks]] |
25 | * BeYourself - their song "Bill Murray" is a perfect example of this, featuring the lyric "What's the point in trying to be someone that I can't be?" |
26 | * BrainUploading: "Ghost in the Machine" is all about abandoning human bodies for digital immortality. |
27 | * CallBack: In the Destiny-inspired song "Figured You Out" the singer makes reference to "whispering wild theories", the same as as in their original Destiny-inspired song "The Glimmer Shot", where the singeer had "divined wild theories" |
28 | * TheCameo: Fred Mascherino (from Music/TakingBackSunday) plays a guitar solo on "Goddamn Mimetic Business". |
29 | * CharacterAlignment: The theme of the entire album ''Alignments''; it contains a song about all nine ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' alignments. |
30 | * CoolCar: Their ode to "Freedom Machine", a matte-black spray-painted car in the song "Drive Away". |
31 | * CoverVersion: |
32 | ** "Godzilla" by Music/BlueOysterCult |
33 | ** "Don't Stop Me Now" by Music/QueenBand |
34 | ** "Buddy Holly" by Music/Weezer |
35 | ** and inexplicably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zOnn_QCNbI "The Edge of Night" by Peregrin Pippin Took]]. |
36 | * DrugsAreBad: "Strange Acquaintance" contains the scientific explanation of addiction in the opening stanza. |
37 | * DoubleMeaningTitle: "S O F I Ne" is written about chemistry pertaining to IntercourseWithYou, while the chorus uses chemical elements to spell the title; sulfur, oxygen, fluorine, iodine, neon. |
38 | * LeetLingo: The album title ''721835'' is l33t for the word "tribes". |
39 | * LeadBassist: Vocalist Ian Nichols is also the band's bassist. |
40 | * LongestSongGoesLast: The modest 4:16 track "Alignments" from the album of the same name. Interestingly, it is preceeded by the shortest song in the band's original catalogue, "The Imp". |
41 | * LoopedLyrics: The chorus lyrics of "Jet Black" are recursive. |
42 | * NonAppearingTitle: Lots of these. "Gambit", "Strange Acquaintance", "Horror Beyond Imagination", "The Glimmer Shot", "Impasse", "Exposure Exposure", "Ghost in the Machine" |
43 | * PrecisionFStrike: nearly one on each album. "Weakened Warriors" on ''Unsaved Progress'', "The Imp" on ''Alignments'', and "Top of the World" on ''Undefeated''. |
44 | * PunnyName: "Weakened Warrior" |
45 | * {{Scatting}}: The beginning of "Horror Beyond Imagination". |
46 | * ShoutOut: "AAA" includes a reference to the House of TARG, an arcade from the band's hometown of Ottawa. |
47 | * RedOniBlueOni: Generally speaking, Ian is the boisterous one whereas Brock is much more introverted. |
48 | * RevealShot: In the video for "Godzilla", the band tease the titular creature only to reveal that it's really a costumed-bulldog wrecking havoc on the city. |
49 | * RockTrio: Not originally, but the sound of the modern line up has shifted to this. |
50 | * ThePowerOfRock: "Exposure Exposure" has a repetitive hook and message about living and dying for the genre, while the bridge veers into HymnToMusic territory. |
51 | * TitleTrack: |
52 | ** "Alignments" |
53 | ** "Undefeated" |
54 | * UncommonTime: Their song "Horror Beyond Imagination" is predominantly in 7/4 |
