1 | * AudienceAlienatingPremise: The sudden shift from party-oriented AlternativeDance to a mix of GothRock and soul funk on ''Yes Please!'' failed to win over both old and new audiences; not only was the album universally panned, but it also sold only an eighth of what ''Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches'' made, heavily contributing to the bankruptcy of Creator/FactoryRecords. |
2 | * CoveredUp: "Step On" is more famous than John Kongos's "He's Gonna Step On You Again". |
3 | * EpicRiff: The intro to "Step On". |
4 | * FountainOfMemes: Shawn tends to spawn very quotable slices of druggy rambling. |
5 | -->''You're twistin' my melon, man!'' |
6 | * NeverLiveItDown: Is it no surprise people won't let the band forget ''they'' drove Creator/FactoryRecords out of business because of their addictions and holding ''Yes Please!'' hostage. Receiving the [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap two word review]], "No thanks." probably also won't be forgotten. |
7 | * SpiritualSuccessor: Shaun and Bez's next band Black Grape. They pursued the sound of ''Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches'', focusing more on its Hip-Hop style elements, abandoning the House music elements. |
8 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The band had a habit of ripping off popular songs. The chorus of "Kinky Afro" is very similar to [[Music/PattiLaBelle LaBelle's]] "Lady Marmalade". |
9 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The reaction to ''Yes Please!'' |
