If ''Music/{{Spiderland}}'' and ''Music/LaughingStock'' are considered the TropeMakers of PostRock, ''Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven'' has since become its TropeCodifier, earning both praise and replication from all directions. It's either called one of the greatest albums of 2000, of the TurnOfTheMillennium, or of all time, being held as a shining example of symphonic songwriting with rock instrumentation.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The street preacher sampled on "Static" is a rather disturbing example.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The street preacher sampled on "Static" is a rather disturbing example.example, rambling to anyone who will listen about dying, seeing God, and being institutionalized. One gets the impression that they've either experienced something deeply traumatic, or are having a psychotic break.



* DarkestHour: "Static" is this for the album as a whole, with its haunting sample of a street preacher babbling about seeing the face of God followed by the most apocalyptic crescendo on the entire album, which is then followed by an immensely ominous DroneOfDread.

After this, "Monheim" sounds like a funeral dirge, with "Broken Windows, Locks of Love Pt. III" being the moment when the album begins to climb back into the light.

* CloudCuckoolander: The street preacher sampled on "Static" is a rather disturbing example.
* ConceptAlbum: Somewhat. Despite the lack of lyrics, it's easy to read different themes into the songs based on the samples employed, and the album as a whole has a sort of emotional arc when listened to straight through.

* JumpScare: After a segment of lingering ambience, "She Dreamt She Was a Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone in an Empty Field" rears in with an immediate barrage of instrumentation.

* WritingAroundTrademarks / BlandNameProduct: Despite the recording sampled in the song clearly saying: "Welcome to Arco AM/PM," the album liner notes identify the movement name as: "Welcome to Barco AM/PM... [L.A.X.; 5/14/00]." The reason why probably falls under one of these tropes.
