Baby Gonna Trope Me

• Alliterative Title: "Green Grass".
• Epic Rocking:
  • "Sins of My Father" is over ten and a half minutes long.
  • "Day After Tomorrow" is almost seven.
• Minimalistic Cover Art: A red background with black text and a black border.
• Miniscule Rocking:
  • "Chick a Boom" is a little over a minute long.
  • "Clang Boom Steam" is a little less than a minute long.
• Non-Appearing Title: "Real Gone" isn't mentioned in any of the songs, instead many of the songs share the theme of leaving in one way or another (whether it be in death like "Dead and Lovely", wanting to leave like "Circus", or someone leaving you like "Make it Rain").
