I like:
(slow quiet)
(slow quiet)
(loud fast)
+/- slow quiet section
-----------------------------------
(loud chorus *no vocals*)
(verse)
(chorus stripped down to 1 or 2 instruments *no vocals*)
(verse)
(repeat verse -> stripped down chorus as desired)
(loud chorus *no vocals*) w/ opt. repeat
----------------------------------
(instrumental intro)
(chorus a)
(chorus b)
(chorus c)
*instrumentation dosen't change or only builds slightly between choruses*
--------------------------------
(loud chorus *no vocals*)
(verse)
(loud chorus *no vocals*)
(verse)
(break)
(solo or loud section *different from chorus*)
(loud chorus *no vocals*)
(short outro *usually modification of the break*)
----------------------------
(slow build)
(ocean of noise punctuated with highly effected vocals or keyboar/guitar swells)
(abrupt fall to one element of the noise ocean *usually light feedback into your favourite modulation*)
----------------------------
I use the term "chorus" extremely lightly (we all know choruses suck).
