- There's something about the way that the first version of European Jewel
cuts off abruptly when Jandek is in the middle of singing about having bugs in his brain... - Down in a Mirror, period. The guitar part is somewhat unsettling in itself, then the lyrics begin with "We can't deny there's spirits in this house". The whole song is... chilling, to say the least.
- Jandek isn't one known for screaming much, but when he does, it's horrifying. Case in point, You Painted Your Teeth is one of the most demented, scary songs of the whole Corwood catalog - and that's saying a lot.
- Om, from Somebody in the Snow.
- I Need Your Life. The quality of the recording is awful, and there's nothing but Jandek's voice. The lyrics cross between Nightmare Fuel and Tear Jerker territory.
- Jandek's music in general is rather unsettling, especially to the unprepared. In his book Songs in The Key of Z, Outsider Music proponent Irwin Chusid referred to Ready For the House as "The most terrifying album ever made".
