Darker and Edgier | |
| C418 (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Minecraft - Volume Beta is C418's darkest album. However, it's his only darker album, as none of his other albums match its sense of dread by comparison. Even then, it's still rather lighthearted, because Daniel is too much of an idealist. | |

The Anti-Nihilist | |
| C418 (Music) / int_17640aa8 | comment |
The Anti-Nihilist: C418 seems to be very doubtful about his own capabilities as a music artist, as shown in plenty of his songs. This includes "I Jate My Hob" (I Hate My Job) from LCMSMiP (the entire album is about his shift into becoming a music artist, really), "Alive" from 72 MoF, which is about him questioning his old job; and "Blank Cubicle" from Dief, which is about him questioning the paths he could've taken in life and the consequences of such. He's also prone to Self-Deprecation as he thinks that his music is bad, though his fans assure him otherwise. Despite this, the music he makes in itself is somehow cheerful, showing that he doesn't let this negativity overcome him. | |

Pop-Cultural Osmosis | |
| C418 (Music) / int_19bec249 | comment |
Pop-Cultural Osmosis: He's most well known for the ambient soundtrack to Minecraft. Because of this, he deliberately avoided producing ambient music on several subsequent albums, aiming more for house and electronica. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| C418 (Music) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Bushes and Marshmallows includes a track of silence called "Turn". The next song, "Edward", begins with a vocal singing, "It is done. The album's done. Close your player, the album's done. ("Edward" is then followed by the song "What".) | |

| C418 (Music) / int_3ea462d7 | comment |
Take That, Audience!: "Friend" from 148 is an angry piece that repeatedly tells someone they aren't the protagonist's friend and to go away. According to Rosenfeld, the song was directed at all of the people who follow him on Twitter just to bash him. | |

Lonely Piano Piece | |
| C418 (Music) / int_60f567f1 | comment |
Lonely Piano Piece: "Sweden" is based on the same minimalist, fading, primarily-piano principle as "Minecraft", the song C418 built Volume Alpha around, and subsequently the eponymous game's musical character. | |

Drone of Dread | |
| C418 (Music) / int_652bf890 | comment |
Drone of Dread: Minecraft - Volume Beta includes a few pieces written as background music exclusive to the Nether, such as "Concrete Halls" and "Warmth", which are heavy with low, foreboding tones evoking the dangerous, yet lonely nature of the dimension. | |

Non-Appearing Title | |
| C418 (Music) / int_67784113 | comment |
Non-Appearing Title: "Tsuki no Koibumi", "Semantic Sanitation", "Septic Shock", "Seismic Stratigraphy", "Ample Time", "Habitual Crush", "Round Up to the Inevitable End", "841", and "Blank Cubicle" are all songs with vocals, but their titles never appear in any of those songs in question, or come close to doing so. In terms of "Tsuki no Koibumi", though it's in a foreign language, the phrase is never heard, and in terms of "841", the entire song is a repeat of the reverse number (148) like the title of the album it's from, so its title never appears either. | |

"I glove thy flob" from one, in addition to being nonindicative, is a cover of Pachelbel's "Canon in D" done in a mix of Minecraft note blocks, piano, and some synthesized sounds. | |

Variable Mix: Dief was written to accompany Teddy Dief's" 2017 Game Developers Conference presentation "Still Grooving: Game Dev Life Set to Live Music". Rosenfeld deliberately made sure every song on the album had the same tempo so that he could quickly switch tracks as the presentation progressed. | |

The Not-Remix: "Vierton"note A remix of "Dreiton" from Minecraft - Volume Beta., "Aria Economy"note A remix of "Aria Math" from Minecraft - Volume Beta., "Biome Party"note A remix of "Biome Fest" from Minecraft - Volume Beta. and "Beta"note A remix of "Sweden" from Minecraft - Volume Alpha. from 148 are remixes of pre-existing Minecraft songs. The arrangement and general sequencing isn't altered that significantly from their original versions, however, mostly being comprised of the original songs with an electronic beat layered on top and the original song audio slowed down, though "Vierton" is mostly a rearranging due to starting from the second half. | |

Nice Guy | |
| C418 (Music) / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: In spite of Dan's open political beliefs and how devoted he is to them, he is ultimately someone who sees the positives in life and likes to make his music for the sake of it. He's also rather humble about it (well, self-deprecating, anyway), as he doesn't consider his music to be of any real quality and more the result of messing around with a studio, and will only decide to release things that he considers 'ready enough' rather than rushing his work. | |

| C418 (Music) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: Common on his former blog, and to a lesser extent on his website. "Habitual Crush" from 148 is mostly the protagonist lamenting how they obviously don't deserve affection despite having lied and screwed up. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: C418 is an odd person, which is reflected in his music and his digital footprint. Even the ambient Minecraft music he's known for poses some semblance of strangeness to it, even if he is trying to fit into the elegant freeform environment the game provides with his music. | |
