* JerkassWoobie: The child narrator in "A Howling Dust". The beginning presents him being morbid and racist towards the immigrants, which is not helped by his father's drug-taking and is the one who sets the story in motion by mocking and assaulting a Chinese man along with his friends. By the end of the song he is completely broken after witnessing the grisly death of the Chinese man, refusing to leave the dying town and only hopes that someone would be there to bury him. It's hard not to feel sorry for him.

** We aren't meant to sympathize with the character in "Uneasy Lies the Head" by any stretch of the imagination, but his horrible CruelAndUnusualDeath earns him a few sympathy points, [[AssholeVictim even if it's well-deserved]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: It is worth noting that the band does a LOT to incorporate different sounds into their music, and it is far from just slapping together different genres of metal together. With ''Dwellings'' having a lot more PostRock flair, ''Earth Diver'' going into a lot of folk-inspired riffs, and just LISTEN to the bridge of "Scavengers Feast" or the ending to "Uneasy Lies the Head".

** "Junta" in spades.
** Although "Hanging Gardens" doesn't sound like it at first, the song takes on a whole new meaning when it is learned that the song is a metaphor for suicide, particularly inspired by a suicide note left by Arthur von Nagel's father.
