Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I'd head to the discussion page and would PM In The Gallbladder to join the discussion there.

Oh, I thought standard practice was to go to ATT. Got it.
Bumping, but if the other party doesn't respond within a week, what should I do?
I removed the Genre Shift bit because neither Visions... nor its preceding album were completely about any one genre. There's numerous: Religious Horror ("Make Them Dead," "Attunement," "All In Your Head" arguably) Hicksploitation ("Eaten Alive") Poliziotteschi ("La Mala Ordina"), monster movies ("He Dead," "Something Underneath") paranormal thrillers ("Pain Everyday") even classic cabin-in-the-woods B-horror ("She Bad") as well as overt homages to or takes on specific movies (besides "'96 Neve Campbell," there's also "Nothing Is Safe," explicitly inspired by Assault on Precinct 213.)
As for Ax-Crazy, I felt as though it was an outright misinterpretation of the song.
The Genre Shift edit removal makes more sense that way; I thought having all the tracks feature a slasher villain or mundane nihilism of some sort, then having it shift noticeably to Cosmic Horror in the end was a bigger shift.
In that case, would the fact Pain Everyday becomes IDM/breakbeat and Enlacing is Soundcloud/Cloud Rap be more valid examples of Genre Shift?
Also, I'm not so certain about Ax-Crazy's removal (since the last verses of the first scene imply whoever attacked the cops went psycho from desperation), but does this rely too much on implication to be a concrete example?
(Also, I have to be ashamed to admit that, as a Carpenter Fan, I didn't realize Nothing Is Safe was a Assault reference, not Halloween.)

I'd argue that the album is, similarly, too all-over-the-place musically for Genre Shift to apply. Boom-bap, power-noise, screw, electroacoustic, jazz-hop (and the latter's a stretch), and straight up Harsh Noise as well as Cloud Rap.
And the Ax-Crazy bit does rely a tad too much on implication.
Please continue this discussion on the discussion page.

On clipping., the latest two albums are horror-inspired and take on a slasher track for the most part (John Carpenter movies, zombie flicks, et cetera).
The last track from their latest album is Cosmic Horror inspired and a big shift tonally from the slasher-inspired noise-rap of both albums - instead of slasher horror with industrial influences, it's a soundcloud-style rap with Existential Horror and Cosmic Horror, even name-dropping a Lovecraft God.
I added Genre Shift to reflect this, but In The Gallbladder removed it. I do want to make additional edits to the removed trope to clarify, but I don't want to get into an Edit War.
They also removed Ax-Crazy about a song that depicts three dead cops - I argue there's a protagonist killing them (the song mentions "he knew it was time to kill" and implies the last cop was trying to reach for a gun to shoot his attacker), but they say it's three different scenes.
