"Tropes in high heels":
- The Defroster: "Burn Bitch Burn" concerns trying to win over a particularly difficult woman. With a few Double Entendres thrown in for good measure, including the famous "Oh babe, I wanna put my log in your fireplace".

- Femme Fatale: The subject of "Murder In High-Heels".
- Intercourse with You: "Heaven's On Fire", about a guy having sex, and may or may not have inspired a large amount of the sex dialogue seen in all kinds of fandoms' fanfic sex scenes.
- Minimalistic Cover Art: The cover is just the band name, the album title, and some animal pelts.
- Naughty by Night: "Thrills in the Night" tells the story of a woman who works a 9-to-5 job, but moonlights as a hooker.
- One-Word Title: "Animalize".
