comment
The Artifact: Dan, Nick and Chris. They haven't been on a new song since 2010. Though they're still full members of the band, and live arrangements are switched around to feature them. This isn't a case of them being hated, just that the band's main output is electronic music, not rock.

comment
Genre Shift: Their EP era was New-Rave done ironically. Borders on Early-Installment Weirdness Their first album mixed re-recordings of these songs with Electronic Rock Their second album drops the rock elements, aside from lead single "Turn the Lights Out". Their third album mixes in Dubstep and Drum and Bass with the previous electronic sound. Their newest song Midnight is House Music.

Pretty Boy: The male members of the band before late 2009 all had sweep fringes and effeminate clothing. However these days: Chris and Nick have quiffs. James has short hair. Dan has grown his hair out.

Rearrange the Song
 Hadouken! (Music) / int_b24ce4b2
comment
Rearrange the Song: Live versions of the Every Weekend tracks feature guitars and bass replacing some of the keyboard layers, and live drums on a semi-acoustic kit as opposed to the programmed drumming on albums. Also, any remix they do can feel like this, as James tends to add his own verses, sometimes changing the perspective of the song.

Performance Video: Most of the videos before their third album. Subverted nowadays. Their last performance video was released in 2011 (not counting live videos) and highlighted a problem. Neither Chris nor Dan actually do anything on that album, so they were just stood there playing keyboards (which is actually Alice's job).
