- Black Sheep Hit: "No Rain" was a lot gentler than the harder-edged psychedelic-tinged blues-rock on their self-titled album and the even harder rock of Soup, and it has become infamous as something of a fratboy anthem.
- Creator Backlash: Christopher Thorn said in the band's Behind the Music episode that watching the video for "Galaxie" made him nauseous due to Shannon Hoon's drug-addled behavior mentioned under Throw It In!.
- Creator Breakdown: Soup is an audio document of Hoon's descent into drug addiction.
- Died During Production: Shannon Hoon, the band's main songwriter and lyricist, who died at 28 from a cocaine overdose during the tour supporting Soup.
- One-Hit Wonder: One of the few one-hit wonders to maintain a dedicated following, but technically their only hit is "No Rain", though some of their other songs did well on the Billboard Alternative chart.
- Sleeper Hit: "No Rain" and the debut album really took off nearly a year after their release.
- Throw It In!: Shannon's antics in the "Galaxie" video, including drawing on his face and smashing the car windshield, were unscripted thanks to his drug problems.
