!!''Sell, I'll sell your memories, for 15 tropes per page!''
* AlbumTitleDrop: ''Absolution'' appears in the title and lyrics of "Sing for Absolution".
* AlliterativeTitle: "'''S'''tockholm '''S'''yndrome".
* AudienceParticipationSong: From "Time is Running Out": "Bury it, I won't let you bury it..."
* BreatherEpisode: "Endlessly", a gentle piano-driven number, comes after "The Small Print", one of the album's heaviest songs, and before "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist", one of the darkest songs in the band's discography in terms of subject matter.
* DealWithTheDevil: The main theme of "The Small Print".
* EarthThatWas: The TwistEnding of the [[spoiler:"Sing for Absolution"]] music video.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "Falling Away With You"-"Interlude"-"Hysteria".
* {{Fanservice}}: The "Time Is Running Out" music video would be an otherwise straight-laced ''Film/DrStrangelove'' homage, if not for the attractive dancers and lingerie.
* IncrediblyLongNote: "Falling Away With You".
* LastNoteNightmare: "Ruled by Secrecy"'s creepy countdown at the end.
* LyricalDissonance: "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist", especially with its upbeat PostPunk-y sound contrasting the lyrics.
* MinisculeRocking: "Intro" and "Interlude."
* MusicalNod: Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" in "Interlude".
* NonAppearingTitle: Only averted with "Time Is Running Out", "Sing for Absolution", "Falling Away With You" and "Endlessly".
* ObsessionSong: "Hysteria" and "Endlessly", with the former being an aggressive example and the latter being a passive one.
** "Sing for Absolution" combines this with elements of FallenAngel imagery.
* OneWordTitle: Aside from the album title, there's "Blackout" and "Endlessly".
* ShoutOut: The video to "Time Is Running Out" is set in TheWarRoom from ''Film/DrStrangelove'', with performers in military uniforms.
* StalkerWithACrush: "Hysteria" is sung from the point of view of a man who is slowly consumed into madness from his obsessive love for a girl and turns into a stalker.
* VillainSong: "The Small Print", from the point of view of who is likely {{Satan}}.
