itt: tropes you actually like >cheerful music but dark lyrics

>G chord in the song
>4/4 time signature
>Key of A
These tropes are all old as fuck but I still enjoy them sometimes,

>final track is the title track

>"untitled" bangs

>kid choir sings the chorus

>instrumental ditty interlude halfway through album

>final track reprises theme/riff/chord progression from first track

>meaningless lyrics that for whatever reasons may seem extremely meaningful

>the second song sounds like "the second song"

>band talking in the studio at the end of the album

>singer beats his wife

>the frontman just talks for first few seconds in his natural voice before the actual song starts

>B-sides are better than the album

>bass overtakes everyone without it being a solo
>songs flow into one another
>changes in rhythm being extremely smooth in relation to the rest of the song
>minor pentatonic
>C9 chord

>First chorus is the least loudest, the second chorus adds in new instruments, the third chorus is the loudest chorus in the song.
