"Get Down" is a good example, starting pretty calm and becoming quite frantic.Singer Name Drop: Both the band and individual members.However, unlike other examples, omitting the bridge between the two songs doesn't affect the quality. Siamese Twin Songs: "Nix Hex" -> "Plain".

Shout-Out: The second verse of "Come Original" opens with a series of them, with each artist coming from a different genre (alternative hip-hop, punk, drum'n'bass, and dancehall, respectively). Sampling: "Strangers" features a sample of "Hands On Experience" by The High & Mighty. 
Some albums (like Don't Tread on Me) try to tone it down or not even do it, but they go back and forth on this.
Rap Rock: Since the first album they revel on this. Performance Video: "Homebrew" and "Beautiful Disaster". Also applies to Nick (Nicholas) and Tim(othy). Only Known by Their Nickname: SA and P-nut. Ode to Intoxication: "Homebrew" and "Loco" are the most overt. Nu Metal: They experiment with this sometimes, especially on Soundsystem and From Chaos, which were both released during the height of the genre's popularity. Nobody Loves the Bassist: Averted: "P-Nut, beat that thing!". Mistaken for Racist: That damn KKK rumor. Melismatic Vocals: " Sever " has a pretty good one on the word "home". In 1991, Jim left the band and Tim and SA were added. The band originally consisted of Nick, P-Nut, Chad, and Jim Watson. Long-Runner Line-up: A type 2 example. Live Album: 311 have two: the first was in 1998 called "Live" and the other was "311 with the Unity Orchestra" in 2014. Letters 2 Numbers: The cover of Stereolithic slips the digits from the band's name in this way, eg Ster3ol1th1c. Greatest Hits Album: Two, Omaha Sessions and Greatest Hits '93-'03. This translates to "I go to the beach because the puppet show is cool!" Gratuitous French: "Salsa" lampshades this in the line "Je vais a la plage parce que le guignol est chouette! I kick nonsense in French, tasty like Crepe Suzette". Many did not think when they hear we come from this state" Naturally, they give it a shoutout in the form of song. Flyover Country: The guys are from Omaha, Nebraska. Fading into the Next Song: "Starshines" -> "Strangers". The one incidence of this was a cover song ("Leaving Babylon"). Fade Out: Averted nearly 100% of the time. Epic Instrumental Opener: The B-Side "Let the Cards Fall". Doesn't Like Guns: "Guns (Are for Pussies)". Department of Redundancy Department: "Nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable.". They have also covered Bad Brains' "Leaving Babylon" and "Who's Got the Herb?", The Clash's "Midnight in Hammersmith Palais", and Toots & the Maytals "Reggae Got Soul" (which appeared on the Surf's Up soundtrack). 
Cover Version: Their cover of The Cure's "Love Song" (which appeared on the 50 First Dates soundtrack) is the most well-known.Cluster F-Bomb: "Fat Chance", which is just a small track that hides the true one, "Fuck the Bullshit".The Cast Show Off: Each band member gets a chance to do an extended solo during concerts.Call-and-Response Song: How Hexum and SA do their usual Vocal Tag Team.B-Side: Their songs "My Stoney Baby & Hydroponic" were this to "Freak Out".Anti-Police Song: "Offbeat Bare Ass" gets into this a bit.Special credit to " Transistor ", which manages to Title Drop its own album, the three previous albums, and (whether intentionally or not is unclear) the next album, Soundsystem. Most of their albums have them, including the self-titled one (But then again, they blurt the band's name out on nearly every track).From "Life's Not a Race" on Soundsystem: "It's the bubblin' spring and double in kings of this soundsystem.".Tropes associated with the band and their music: Doug "SA" Martinez (vocals, turntables).They first achieved mainstream success in 1995, with their self-titled album.
