1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Considered to be this in its entirety, but certain movements stand out:
2** "Lift Yr. Skinny Fists, Like Antennas to Heaven...". It feels like waking up to a beautiful day.
3** The latter half of "Gathering Storm".
4** The first minute of "She Dreamt She Was a Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone in an Empty Field" is often considered the apex, and it's not hard to see why.
5** ''All'' of "Sleep".
6* CatharsisFactor: "Sleep", and in particular, "Broken Windows, Locks of Love Pt. 3". After all the tension and dread built up on the rest of the album, it's an incredible release of tension.
7* {{Fanon}}: Many believe that the album is about both life and death. Some of the movements (such the grand "Lift Yr. Skinny Fists, Like Antennas to Heaven...", the depressing "Murray Ostril: '...They Don't Sleep Anymore on the Beach...'" and the anxiety-inducing "[Antennas to Heaven...]") support this theory.
8* MemeticMutation: Photoshopping things into the album cover.
9* NightmareFuel: "Static" in its entirety, particularly the apocalyptic crescendo of "World Police and Friendly Fire", which builds and builds in intensity before collapsing into a quiet, subtle DroneOfDread.
10* TearJerker:
11** "Murray Ostril: '...They Don't Sleep Anymore on the Beach...'" evokes the sad aspects of nostalgia.
12*** ''All'' of "Sleep". "Monheim" is almost unbearably bleak at times, and "Broken Windows, Locks of Love Pt. III" is so unbelievably ethereal it can invoke all kinds of emotional reactions.
13** "Chart #3", with a sample of a preacher accompanied by sombre instruments.
14** The second instrumental in "She Dreamt She Was a Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone in an Empty Field".
