- Refrain from Assuming: The "Stand by Me" chorus of "Train in Vain" confused listeners so much that in the States the single was released as "Train in Vain (Stand by Me)." The song itself is a last-minute addition and was not featured at the track listing, which makes things worse.
- Tough Act to Follow: It was hailed almost immediately as one of the greatest rock albums ever, which put them in a tight spot for the follow-up. They responded with Sandinista!, which, while not as well-reviewed, was regarded as a noble attempt to expand their musical palette. But having produced what amounted to five albums-worth of notable music over the course of two years left them struggling to maintain that level of creativity, and Combat Rock and Cut the Crap were doomed to live in their shadows.
