* {{Dissimile}}: Judging from the lyrics, "Die Explosion im Festspielhaus" must be a musical rendering of the Big Bang (who else than the Neubauten could attempt it). But, "galaxy cumshots"?
** For what it's worth, the ''Ende Neu'' liner notes say it's [[TakeAThirdOption about the Big Bang and sex simulatenously]].



* FriendlyFandoms: After the disestablishment of Music/TheBirthdayParty, plenty of Music/NickCave fans knew that Blixa Bargeld was a member of ''Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds'' until 2003. Neubauten's and Cave's respective fan bases do listen to both of their music.

* HarsherInHindsight: "The Garden" is a somewhat melancholic song on its own. If you take into account that it was probably one of the first tracks Neubauten did after F.M. Einheit's departure[[note]]he left the band while Blixa was on holiday, and Blixa would have killed ''Ende Neu'' as a result were it not for financial obligations to finish it[[/note]], you've got yourself a full-on TearJerker.

** Everyone knows Blixa isn't a vegetarian anymore... except that's not true. He did try reintegrating meat into his diet while living in China, but he went back to his previous ways after developing kidney problems and leaving China. Of course, that's assuming you considered him a vegetarian in the first place—he always ate seafood.

** It's well-known that the band started dressing more formally due to the fall of the Berlin Wall... except that's not the case. Ignoring that 3/5 of them didn't change their fashions at all, the ones who ''did'' change things up didn't do so for political reasons.

** Andrew's heterosexuality.[[note]]In the biography ''No Beauty Without Danger,'' Alex all-but says outright that Blixa and F.M. had a romantic relationship, comparing it to his own with Christiane F. and calling it a "love story". Andrew ''immediately and intensely'' denies this, saying all of the Neubauten are either "real men" (the official English translation) or "straight wretches" (a popular fan translation), and that Blixa and F.M. were probably definitely not in love... NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat. (For what it's worth, F.M. said that while he wouldn't call it a "love story", he was "attracted" to Blixa (and everyone else in the band). Blixa has remained mum on the subject.)[[/note]]

** "Zampano" is about a stalker ([[StalkerWithACrush with]] or [[StalkerWithoutACrush without]] a crush). It's a dark, intense song on its own. ''Then'' you learn that it was based on [[https://seelebrenntarchive.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/talk-of-silence/ Blixa's own experiences]] with a stalker (one he blames ''himself'' for having). Suddenly, the song becomes even darker.
