** The first seven tracks of "Rise" do this seamlessly, and when you listen to the tracks you feel like something's missing when the interludes aren't there.

Added Fading into the Next Song, Mood Whiplash, Take That

Added DiffLines:

* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "Eating Me Away" segues into "Kill Me, Heal Me" without missing a beat.


Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: "Rippin' Me Off", one of the band's heaviest and angriest songs, comes right before the romantic duet "Will You Be There (Falling Down)" on ''Alien Youth''.
** Another sudden heavy-to-light transition happens on "Alien Youth", when "Take" suddenly segues into the piano intro for "Coming Down".


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: "Rippin' Me Off" is a rather strongly-worded response that John wrote after attending a MarilynManson concert.

Added Call Forward, Final Love Duet, Kill It With Fire, Martyr Without a Cause, modified Power Ballad and Soprano & Gravel


* CallForward: "I Can", the first song on their very first album, has lyrics that appear to reference the title track from ''Hey You, I Love Your Soul'', as well as "More Faithful" from that same album. Those songs wouldn't be released for another two years.
-->And do You really love my soul even after I hated You?
-->And do you really know my name, can I really come to You?
-->And are You really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?



* FinalLoveDuet: "Will You Be There (Falling Down)" is a duet between John and Korey.



* KillItWithFire: Used as a rather violent metaphor in "Gasoline".



* MartyrWithoutACause: "My Beautiful Robe" is about a man who seems to have a bit of a Messiah complex.



* PowerBallad: "Yours to Hold", "Say Goodbye", "Believe"

to:

* PowerBallad: At least one on every album.
** "Saturn" on the self-titled.
** "More Faithful" on ''Hey You, I Love Your Soul''.
** "Rest" on ''Invincible''.
** "You Are My Hope" and "Will You Be There (Falling Down)" on ''Alien Youth''.
** "A Little More" on ''Collide''.
**
"Yours to Hold", Hold" and "Say Goodbye", "Believe"Goodbye" on ''Comatose''.
** "Believe" on ''Awake''.

YMMV sinkhole


** If [[YourMileageMayVary nitpicky enough]], one could label every album from ''Hey You'' up to and including ''Collide'' as this.
