- Growing the Beard: This is often regarded as the band's first great album...if Queen II isn't instead. This album certainly establishes the band's Signature Style more firmly than the first two albums had, in any case.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The album title after Brian May revealed in May 2020 that he'd been hospitalized after having a heart attack.I wondered if it might upset some people who had actually had heart attacks. I'm actually quite relieved now that I'm in that club — and I don't find it upsetting at all!
- Memetic Mutation: Thanks to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, expect any mention of the album (if not the Title Track, which appeared on News of the World) to be met with "This song/album has no weaknesses" jokes.
