Trope cut per TRS.


* FaceOfTheBand: Jesse Cash is this, thanks to him being the main songwriter and most vocal member of the group. JT also counts thanks to his status as a co-vocalist, his work in Texas in July, and doing interviews as much as Jesse.

Requires Word Of God confirmation


* AuthorsSavingThrow: The “Eye of God” single on two fronts. The production has more weight to it, being produced by Atrium Audio (known for producing August Burns Red’s albums). JT also shows far more of his vocal chops on this track too.

** The version of "Vanish Canvas" with a feature from Courtney [=LaPlante=] (Spiritbox, ex-iwrestledabearonce). It's either a fresh take of the original song from the SelfTitledAlbum, or a blatant attempt to boost streaming numbers after the self-titled album released that sorely under utilized [=LaPlante=]'s talents.


Added DiffLines:

* HilariousInHindsight: In late 2021, [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pondering-my-orb the pondering my orb]] meme took off. As Jesse noted on Instagram, Erra beat the meme to the punch with the cover to ''Impulse,'' which has a woman pondering her orb back in 2011.

* ContestedSequel: ''Neon.'' Many think the album is Erra’s strongest, with more focused songwriting and stronger performances than their previous efforts. Others think the album is nothing but ''Drift'' b-sides that they threw together haphazardly. Another point of contention is the production, with many thinking the album is flat and lacks any impact (especially the drums) while others think the album sounds fine.

The release of the SelfTitledAlbum hasn't helped ''Neon's'' reception, with many placing ''Neon'' as Erra's weakest due to ''Neon's'' lack of a clear identity and weak production whereas the S/T is a far more focused album and has some of the best production in metalcore.

*BrokenBase: Garrison vs. JT. Who’s the better vocalist? Garrison fans think he has more range and his death metal fused harshes led Erra’s music to be far heavier. JT fans cite that he has more of a stage presence and is far more consistent live than Garrison, not to mention Garrison’s style would not fit the Sumerian-era of Erra. Ian gets left out of the discussion due to his short run with the band.

* EpicRiff: ''Ohh yeah,'' Jesse definitely knows his way around a guitar. “Orchid” and “Hybrid Earth” are good places to start, not to mention the ending riff from the title track of “Drift.”
* EvenBetterSequel: ''Impulse'' was a good debut album, but ''Augment'' is better. ''Drift'' is ''even better.''

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Augment'' and ''Drift'' are where the band really found their footing, and it’s no coincidence their popularity increased with the release of both albums.
* MemeticMutation: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BeBVbgahHhn/?hl=en This picture of Jesse.]] [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hFa9hAJ48/ They even made shirts out of it!]]
* SignatureSong: “Hybrid Earth,” one of the few songs they play every show.
* WinBackTheCrowd: The “Eye of God” single did this for those who weren’t too hot on ''Neon.''
