Hurt provides examples of:[]
- Break Up Song: Several.
- Chronological Album Title: Vol. I and II.
- Digital Piracy Is Evil: Mentioned in "Flowers," amusingly right alongside a Take That to their old record label.
- Driven to Suicide: The narrator of "Well," although it fails (the gun isn't loaded.)
- Epic Riff: "Wars" in the "a riff that the whole song is based around" definition of the trope.
- Grief Song: "House Carpenter," "That (Such A Thing)"
- Hidden Track: "Flowers" is attached at the end of "That (Such A Thing)" on the album, although it's also available as a bonus download to people who bought the album new.
- Intercourse with You: The first couple verses of "Pandora" are rather explicit, although the sex doesn't make up the whole of the song.
- Metal Scream: Infrequent, but it happens. "Overdose" in particular goes from the most perishing of Perishing Alt Rock Voices into growls and screams at the end.
- Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness: Ranges from 1 ("Assurance," "Aftermath") up to around a 7 ("Role Martyr X", "Ten Ton Brick")
- Murder Ballad: "Got Jealous," overlapping with Obsession Song.
- Protest Song: "Wars." Who would have guessed from that title, right?
- Religion Rant Song: "Rapture" and "Talking to God," both type 2 (religion as a pernicious influence on someone in the narrator's life.) Both religious folk and atheists are also subject to a bit of a Take That in "Flowers."
- Take That: "Flowers" delivers a string of these.
