** "MCA Dub" is named in tribute to Music/BeastieBoys' Adam Yauch: Yauch had been a long time fan of the band, and produced their 2007 album ''Build A Nation''.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: Especially prevalent on ''Bad Brains'' and ''Rock For Light'', where fast and angry-sounding hardcore punk songs are occasionally broken up by a gentle, downtempo reggae track or two, such as "I Luv I Jah" or "Rally 'Round Jah Throne."
* TheBandMinusTheFace: They've recorded or performed various times without H.R., and between 1990 and 1994 they went through three different singers: Taj Singleton, [[Music/FaithNoMore Chuck Mosley]], and Israel Joseph I (plus a one-time collaboration with Music/HenryRollins on a CoverVersion of [[{{Music/MC5}} "Kick Out The Jams"]] for the ''Film/PumpUpTheVolume'' soundtrack). So far, ''Rise'', recorded with Israel Joseph I, is the only full-length album recorded entirely without H.R.'s involvement.
* TrrrillingRrrs: Prevalent in "Redbone In The City". Between this and a guitar riff that's [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong very similar to]] that of "God Save The Queen", the song was probably intended as a parody of the Music/SexPistols.

* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence[=/=]NeverLiveItDown: Their incident with Music/{{MDC}} and Big Boys, [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement which will not be discussed here, look into it yourself.]] Similarly, there's the lyrical content of "Don't Blow Bubbles", otherwise an obscure ''Quickness'' album track, which the band would later regret - a 2022 official vinyl reissue of ''Quickness'' features a remixed version of the song that removes the vocals entirely and re-titles it "Instrumental".
