1* EvenBetterSequel: ''Naveed'' was well-received and let the band make a name for themselves well enough, but ''Clumsy'' was, by Canada standards, a blockbuster, reaching diamond status.
2* FanonDiscontinuity: A good chunk of the fanbase rejected the Bob Rock-produced ''Gravity'' and much of the ArenaRock stuff that came afterward, [[{{Sequelitis}} including the sequel to]] ''[[{{Sequelitis}} Spiritual Machines]]'' [[{{Sequelitis}} released 22 years after]].
3* NeverLiveItDown: They were a popular post-grunge band of the late '90s and early 2000s, but unfortunately they'll always be known as the band who made "Whatever", the theme song of Wrestling/ChrisBenoit.
4* ParanoiaFuel: "The Birdman" from ''Naveed'' is just about an odd man Raine Maida met on the street. But the way the lyrics paint the picture, it sounds like he's singing about some kind of serial killer.
5* SignatureSong: "Superman's Dead", "Clumsy", "Somewhere Out There" & "Innocent" are the band's most popular songs and the ones the average listener would most likely know.
6* TearJerker: "Thief," about a fan that succumbed to cancer.
7** If you have a rough relationship with your father, "4am" is gonna hit home ''really'' hard.
8** "Naveed", especially the bridge.
9--> There he's on his knees again\
10Trying hard to understand\
11Why Naveed would let a young man die\
12Convinced that he might break\
13He reaches for that phone\
14And another day has gone\
15Oh another day has gone
16** "Are You Sad?" fittingly. Sung from the perspective of a person trying to convince their friend YouAreNotAlone, but they refuse to listen. Introduced by Raine Maida once as follows:
17-->You guys are all real people out there right? Real people have real problems and the problem, that I find with a lot of people is usually in some point in your life there's a person very close to you that you love...who needs help. The problem is that usually the time when this person needs the most help, is the time when they don't want your help. This next song is about that person that everybody has or will have. It's about trying to connect with them and save them and all those things that you want to do but, sometimes as human beings you can't do.
