* NonIndicativeName: Released five years after their breakup, the compilation ''Muchas Gracias: The Best of Kyuss'' is not exactly the GreatestHitsAlbum that the title implies: It includes five songs from their four proper albums, and out of those, only "Demon Cleaner" was a single. The rest of the album consists of {{B Side}}s, rarities and live tracks.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: On the border between 6 and 7. Some of their gentler songs go as low as 3 (the acoustic blues-rock tune "Space Cadet").

* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein: Many of their song lyrics are somewhat hard to make out due to John's vocals being overpowered by the sheer amount of low end, though the standout example would have to be "Mondo Generator", sung by Nick Oliveri, whose vocals are so muffled and distorted that the only line in the song that is even remotely intelligible is "what can you do?", at approximately 1:03.



** Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppKuLavQDp8 cover]] of Music/TheGerms' "Our Way" is sung by Josh Homme, in one of his earliest vocal performances.

* CreditsGag: The liner notes of ''Blues for the Red Sun'' credit John Garcia with "lyrics" for "Molten Universe", "Apothecaries' Weight", "800" and "Capsized", all of whom are instrumentals.

* HiddenTrack:
** "Lick Doo" on ''Sky Valley'', about seven seconds after "Whitewater" ends.
** ''...And the Circus Leaves Town'' has two after the [[EpicRocking 11-minute]] "Spaceship Landing" ends; a short outtake after about three and a half minutes of silence, and "Day One", after about ''17 minutes'' of silence.



* NonAppearingTitle: Several examples, including "Gardenia", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop" and "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)".

* NonAppearingTitle: Several examples, including "Gardenia", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop" and "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)".It's easier to list songs where this ''doesn't'' apply; about 55% of their songs have titles that don't appear in the lyrics at all, not counting instrumentals.



** Likewise, "Shine!" is [[TitleOnlyChorus 'sung']] entirely by Scott Reeder.



* WordSaladTitle: "(Beginning of What's About to Happen) Hwy 74", "Apothecaries' Weight", "Molten Universe", "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop", "Thee Ol' Boozeroony", "Tangy Zizzle", "Phototropic". Their other songs tend to be less out there as far as titles go.

* TitleConfusion: The band has always said that their third album was meant to be just a self-titled record; The fact that most of the spines for the CD prints label it as just ''Kyuss'' was proof of this. However, because of that "Welcome to Sky Valley" sign on the cover, the album has been nicknamed that by fans, so much that the band eventually [[AscendedFanon referred to it by that name from then on.]]
