* TheBandMinusTheFace: With Music/PeterGabriel gone, this album had to prove that Genesis could continue without him. Unlike other groups that have run afoul of this trope, they succeeded, with Music/PhilCollins establishing himself as the new [[invoked]]FaceOfTheBand.

* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The album cover is a detailed drawing in the vein of a Victorian engraving print, depicting various characters relevant to the songs on the record. Among other things, one can spot the old woman and her younger self from "Ripples", the burglar from "Robbery, Assault and Battery", and the Beast from the TitleTrack.

* ReCut: 8-track releases reshuffle the tracklist to conform to a four-program format. The altered running order depends on the region:
** In Europe, the 8-track running order goes "Entangled", "Squonk", "Dance on a Volcano", "Ripples", "Mad Mad Moon", "Robbery, Assault and Battery", "A Trick of the Tail", and "Los Endos". Additionally, "Ripples" and "Robbery, Assault and Battery" are split into two parts due to them overlapping with the changeovers between programs.
** In North America, the tracklist is "Dance on a Volcano", "Robbery, Assault and Battery", "Mad Mad Moon", "Los Endos", "Ripples", "A Trick of the Tail", "Entangled", and "Squonk". Additionally, "Mad Mad Moon" is split into two parts due to it overlapping with the changeover between programs one and two.



* SpellMyNameWithAnS: On most releases prior to the 1994 Definitive Edition remaster, "Robbery, Assault and Battery" is billed with an ampersand on the disc label (i.e. "Robbery, Assault & Battery"), but with the word "and" in the liner notes; the original Creator/VirginRecords CD release uses "and" on the back cover as well. All releases since 1994, meanwhile, stick with "and" across the board.

** Depending on the release, "Ripples" is billed with or without an ellipsis at the end of the title (i.e. "Ripples..."). Most releases don't feature it, while the 1994 Definitive Edition remaster and physical releases of the 2007 remix incorporate it (digital download and streaming editions of the remix, however, keep the ellipsis out).
