* HilariousInHindsight: The quote "The future belongs to the analog loyalists. Fuck digital." on the back cover of ''Music/SongsAboutFucking''. Music/SteveAlbini installed a Pro Tools rig in his recording studio which, even though he never uses it and it's only there for the artists' use, makes this quote amusing looking back.

** And with all of that, the song itself ''perfectly'' encapsulates the trauma and horror of sexual abuse. And while most find Steve's scream of "SUCK DADDY" to be terrifying, most find this line to be worse:

* {{Tearjerker}}: ''L Dopa'' is a song about a teenage girl who contracts [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalitis_lethargica Encephalitis Lethargica]] (AKA Sleeping Sickness) and spends her entire adult life in a coma. Upon being woken up in her early 60's, she demands to be euthanized, but is refused this by the medical establishment. Also NightmareFuel.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Quite a bit of their discography, but special mention to "[[SmallTownBoredom Kero]][[IncendiaryExponent sene]]" off of Atomizer and "Bad Penny" from Music/SongsAboutFucking

*** "Jordan, Minnesota" was one of their RippedFromTheHeadlines songs, but the real story eventually turned out to disturbing for different reasons: the song depicts a small town full of child molesters, which isn't far from what initial reports of the investigation said. While ''some'' real child molestation was uncovered, a lot of the initial claims were [[https://web.archive.org/web/20100510160346/http://www.a-team.org/scott_county.html found to be the result of highly suggestible children telling investigators what they thought they wanted to hear]]. If mistakes weren't realized a lot of innocent people could have been falsely accused.

*** Bandmate Santiago Durango: "We would get to a point in the song where we'd hit this really creepy noise, prolonged so it would just hang in the air, discordant so you would get a creepy feeling. And Steve would start pretending that he was one of the kids being raped, but I mean really intensely. And just impeccable timing. It was actually very disturbing to watch... It would really get people unsettled."
