* 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.
* CoveredUp: "Step On" is more famous than John Kongos's "He's Gonna Step On You Again".
* EpicRiff: The intro to "Step On".
* FountainOfMemes: Shawn tends to spawn very quotable slices of druggy rambling.
-->''You're twistin' my melon, man!''
* 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.
* 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.
* 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".
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The reaction to ''Yes Please!''
