Line 17:
* '''[[Porn Names|Dirk Lance]]''' - Bass. Left in 2003.
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: "Pistola" is Italian slang for "penis". The song may or may not be about that.
* [[Book Ends]]: ''Light Grenades'' has "Earth to Bella", Parts 1 and 2 (though Part 1 is in the middle of the album instead of at the beginning). Averted when they are played as a single song in concert.
* [[Broken Record]]: Quite a few of their songs feature one line repeated several times in the chorus. Perhaps the most notable example: "Wish You Were Here", where the chorus consists of "I wish you were here" repeated four times.
* [[B
* [[Careful with That Axe]]: The end of "Circles". "Round and round and round and round and ''ROUND!!!!!!!!''"
* [[Chorus-Only Song]]: "Are You In?" is pretty darn close.
Line 36:
* [[Genre Roulette]]: A staple of their career post-''Make Yourself'', but special mention goes to ''Light Grenades'', which Brandon Boyd described as sounding like "13 different bands playing 13 different songs".
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: ''Monuments and Melodies''
* [[Hidden Track]]: ''S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'' has a rather ridiculous one after "Calgone".
* [[Intercourse with You]]: At least once per album. "Stellar" and "[[Artificial Gravity|Anti-Gravity Love Song]]" are this trope... [[Tropes in Space|In Space]]!
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Note the similarities between the main riff of "Zee Deveel" and [[Pearl Jam]]'s "Rival".
* [[Last-Note Nightmare]]: "The Odyssey" ends abruptly with some electronic static-like noise, creating a comparable effect to what you'd find on corrupted [[
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: ''Morning View'' still features some heavy tracks, but the lyrics are PG-rated and there are several more ballads, including the fully acoustic "Mexico" and the exotic Eastern lullaby "Aqueous Transmission".
** ''If Not Now, When?'' makes ''Morning View'' sound downright heavy by comparison.
