Line 43:
* ''Five Iron Frenzy 2: [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]'' (2001)
* ''Cheeses (of Nazareth)'' (2003): A collection of b-sides, rare songs, and twenty tracks of random crap the band made up in the studio.
* ''The End is <s>Near</s> Here'' (2003, 2004) "Near" was the band's final studio album. "Here" was a [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition|rerelease]] with an extra studio track, and a second disc containing their entire final live show.
Also, four of their cd's (''Our Newest Album Ever'', ''Quantity is Job 1'', ''Proof that the Youth are Revolting'', and ''The End is <s>Near</s> Here'') featured some awesomely surreal original artwork by [[Doug Ten Napel]].
Line 68:
* [[Fully-Absorbed Finale]]: The song "That's How the Story Ends" wraps up alleged loose ends from other songs, as well as providing a [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] to some others.
* [[Geek]]/[[Nerd]]: "Suckerpunch" is about a "pencil-necked geek" getting picked on in middle school. "You Can't Handle This" is from the perspective of someone bragging about his geek-fu. [[Wild Mass Guessing|It's possible both songs are about the same person.]]
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: Both their live albums.
** ''Proof That The Youth Are Revolting'' was edited together from 11 different concerts. The album's hidden track was a collection of all the times they messed up over the course of the tour, and some of their stranger-than-usual stage banter.
** On ''The End is Here'', some stage banter (and a few of the short, silly songs) had to be cut in order for the concert to fit on one CD. Most of this material was added to the end of the studio disc ''The End is Near''.
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: ''The End is Here''.
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: Used in their [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|newest]] musical entry [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odyr5GaHPy0 "It Was A Dark And Stormy Night"].
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: "Blue Comb '78" is an overwrought, dramatic song... about a comb that Reese lost when he was 8. Subverted in that {{spoiler|it's a subtle metaphor for his parent's divorce and his loss of innocence.}}
Line 80:
** No, it's okay, he's actually alive. He didn't die by plague or prison; what really died was cynicism.
* [[Old Media Are Evil]]: "Anchors Away" takes aim at TV news, accusing them of eschewing accurate reporting in favor of [[You Can Panic Now|fear-mongering]].
* [[Proud to Be a Geek]]: "You Can't Handle This," "Wizard Needs Food Badly," and much of "At Least I'm Not Like All Those Other Old Guys."
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Both silly and serious (the aforementioned "Eulogy"). They named their farewell tour The Winners Never Quit Tour.
* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]/[[This Trope Is Bleep]]: Used ''extensively'' in "These Are Not My Pants (Part 8)". Just the first two lines:
