* GenreTurningPoint: They weren't the first Pirate Metal band but they represented the point where the micro-genre within the sub-genre of FolkMetal became a much more prominent thing in heavy metal than during the heyday of ''Music/RunningWild''. Since then, Pirate Metal has gone on to become much more famous and a host of new bands playing this type of metal like Lagerstein, Swashbuckle, Red Rum, Rumahoy, and many others have sprung up in the wake of Alestorm re-inventing this style of music in the late 2000s.

** The video for "Keelhauled" features guitarist Dani Evans on the receiving end of the titular punishment, and it is quite gruesome. When the crew pulls him out of the water, his entire body is covered in black scars.

** And then there's the story behind the song. Apparently, at one point before they hit it big, Alestorm was on tour with Music/GraveDigger, and at one point, their lead singer, Chris Boltendahl, called the band the title of the song, which translates from German to something along the lines of "rowdy bunch of idiots." Alestorm was not amused, so they wrote Rumpelkombo as a way to get back at Chris by crediting him with writing the lyrics, so that every time the song plays, he would be sent a penny in royalties to remind him of what he said.

** However on closer listen, the band's sound has changed noticeably over the years. The [[RevolvingDoorBand various member changes over the years]], the addition of real strings, brass, accordions and other folk instruments from their second album onwards and the addition of harsh vocals upon Elliot Vernon joining the band all add up to a very noticeable difference, at least in musical style, between their first album and ''Sunset On The Golden Age''.

* BrokenBase: Mild, but there. Since the band went DenserAndWackier, there's been arguments as to whether this is a good thing or not. A subset of metalheads think this direction means that the band has sold out and betrayed what made their more folk metal elements work in the first place, while another subset either doesn't mind the direction or thinks that it's an improvement. The band has even taken some self-deprecating shots at itself, such as Christopher Bowes commenting on [=YouTube=] videos that "Alestorm is shit now" and the band is terrible. (But at least there, it's clearly a joke.)
