1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Oh come on, it's ''Split Enz''! Mike Chunn seems to particularly point out "Take A Walk", "Remember When", "Message To My Girl", "Kia Kaha" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YPu2G-ECfI I Walk Away]]".
2** As well as "Six Months in a Leaky Boat".
3%%* Crazy Awesome: Again, the entire band, mainly thanks to [[CloudCuckooLander Noel Crombie]].
4* CreatorBreakdown - Tim Finn is no stranger to this: ''Time and Tide'' owed a lot to his depression. In particular, the opening track "Dirty Creature" is about his efforts to [[SadClown laugh off his demons]].
5* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Highly popular in Canada (something which also carried over to ''Crowded House'').
6* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUC_jE78FNE Message To My Girl]]" in its entirety, along with Noel's closing words in the final chapter of the book.
7* MisaimedMarketing: Especially upon first arriving in Australia, including such gems as "The raunchiest band ever to come out of New Zealand" (used twice) and "New Zealand's answer to the ''Skyhooks''".
8* NightmareFuel: While this is mostly averted with their later material during the late 70s and 80s, it tends to be true with their first two albums in some cases. Soundtrack Dissonance at it's finest.
