Broken Base: Mainly the 'alternative' albums, like Diatribes and Inside the Torn Apart.
Hilarious in Hindsight: When Jim Carrey professed his love for the band on The Arsenio Hall Show, he claimed "someday, this guy's gonna wanna slow down and do some duets." Then in 2010, Barney provided his grunting vocals to the Volbeat song "Evelyn", which is indeed a duet with clean-voiced Michael Poulsen. In addition, Lee Dorrian later formed Cathedral, which also slowed down and occasionally featured duets.
Signature Song: "You Suffer (But Why)," if only because it's The Guinness World Record holder for shortest song. "Scum" is probably their most well known song and is probably what most fans of the band think when they hear someone mention Napalm Death or even grindcore in general.
Spiritual Successor: Shane's side band Lock Up, to the point that the lineup for their first two albums literally was Napalm Death, just with a different drummer and vocalist.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: While the Napalm Death fanbase is divided into people who prefer their more hardcore leaning grind albums, people who prefer their more metal albums, and people who like both eras, neither of them had a positive reaction to their more Industrial/Groove Metal-tinged late 90s albums starting with Diatribes.
