* NewTechnologyIsEvil: The quote "''The future belongs to the analogue loyalists. Fuck digital.''" on the back cover of the album, and the quote [sic] "''this compact disk is made from analog masters recorded without noise reduction. half the tracks, in fact, were recorded in a dismal, cheap basement eight-track studio with puddles of water on the floor. digital technology will now faithfully reproduce those noisy, lo-fi, unprofessional masters for you at great expense. feel stupid yet?''" on the CD copy of the album, parodying the label on most albums converted from analog to digital mediums. Music/SteveAlbini later installed a Pro Tools rig in his recording studio which, while he ''never'' uses and is only there for the artists' use, makes these quotes [[invoked]] HilariousInHindsight.

''Songs About Fucking'' is the second and final studio album by Music/BigBlack, released through Creator/TouchAndGoRecords in 1987. It's also their most infamous work, thanks to the [[IntentionallyAwkwardTitle outrageous title]]. A big-name fan was influential British radio DJ Creator/JohnPeel who, in 1997, placed it at nr. 15 in a list of his 20 personal favourite albums [[note]] It was by no means meant as a definitive list, as he felt that top albums lists "are terribly self-indulgent" and said "he'd change it to a completely different list if he would be asked again a week later". But it was the only time in his life he agreed to make such a list, so in that regard, it's pretty close to being a definitive list.[[/note]] when asked by the newspaper ''The Guardian''.

* BlackComedy: The album features arsehole truck drivers, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a Kraftwerk cover]], a guy who has sex with other people's girlfriends, a young girl who slept away the majority of her life and wanted to kill herself but couldn't, sexual humiliation as a habit, a killing method in which the throat is cut open and the tongue is pulled out through the hole, an eccentric man who parties all night, a fungus that can grow on bread and cause serious hallucinations if ingested, a Mafia killing in which a parked car was rigged to explode when the target's car passed by, a guy who had sex with a woman, who refused his brother's earlier advances, and killed her with his shoe then hid her body in a pond while hosing down his truck with loud music on, people who slowly [[YouAreWhatYouHate turn into what they hate most]] without trying, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a Cheap Trick Cover]].
