* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: They swing wildly across the scale from 4 (''Judas Christ''-era) to 9/10 (''Sumerian Cry''-era). ''Wildhoney'' by itself actually covers anything from a 1 ("Planets") to a 9 or 10 ("Whatever That Hurts", "The Ar"). "A Pocket Size Sun", the closer and the longest song on it, is probably a 3 or 4.

And it will take us through the night



* MushroomSamba: "Teonanacatl", probably. The song's name means "Flesh of the Gods" and is what the Aztecs called hallucinogenic mushrooms, so...
** A lot of their lyrics are about this, really. "Whatever That Hurts" mentions psilocybin mushrooms and jimsonweed, while "A Pocket Size Sun" is about an LSD trip.

* GenreBusting: Most of their post-''Wildhoney'' music is hard to categorize. Has bits of pretty much everything. ''Wildhoney'', for that matter, was fairly unique when it came out, though it helped kickstart the then-nascent genre of ProgressiveDeathMetal, but it's not even strictly that; it's got elements of GothicMetal and DoomMetal as well, for starters, not to mention PsychedelicRock, SpaceRock, {{Ambient}}, and several other genres.

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: For a band known as a death metal band at the time, ''Wildhoney'' likely came as a surprise, as about half of it is acoustic ProgressiveRock without any screaming. This hasn't stopped the album from receiving a uniformly rapturous reception among audiences; it's the one album that fans of the band's old and new material can agree upon. This trope became less applicable to their later material, as these kinds of songs became more typical of the band's style.

* SopranoAndGravel: Occasionally. "Brighter than Than the Sun" is a good example, as is "Carry Your Cross..."" ''Wildhoney'' has vocals that are about half sung and half screamed, though some are also in a strange mixture of screaming and singing (most of the vocals for "Visionaire" fall into this category). On the whole, more of the second side of the LP is more sung and more of the first side is screamed, but it's not 100% on either side.
