- Anvilicious: The lyrics are as subtle as a brick in the face. "Danny Nedelko"'s pro-immigration lyrics could come across as this.
- Funny Moments: During their Pinkpop 2022 performance, Joe splits the crowd to do a wall of death, but one audience member doesn't move.Joe: You, my friend... You don't have to move. But I would, if I was you. (chuckle) You remind me of my uncle. He died in a crowd too.
- Nightmare Fuel: "Wizz". The band descending into a goddamn Grindcore freakout with Joe giving one of his most intense vocal performances over a VERY strange guitar riff that almost swirls around you as you listen and an absolutely apocalyptic performance on the drums. The lyrics add to it, at first sounding like Word-Salad Horror, but when you look into them, you find out they're literally texts Joe received from his former dealer. The mad, nonsensical things he's yelling are varieties of cocaine and his dealer (perhaps unintentionally) trying to pull him Off the Wagon. He described it thusly:"The idea is that it sounds a bit like cocaine. When you sober up, you delete your drug dealer’s number but you don’t block them, so you keep getting their texts anyway."
- Tear Jerker: "June", which is about Talbot's stillborn daughter.
- Signature Song: Either "Mother", "Never Fight A Man With A Perm", or "Danny Nedelko".
