#.[[Music/SheerHeartAttack "Stone Cold Crazy"]] (originally recorded by Music/{{Queen}})

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy[=/=]HardDrinkingPartyGirl: The video to "Whiskey in the Jar"
* BawdySong \ ClusterFBomb: "So What"
* BookEnds: Disk 1 opens and ends with Discharge covers.

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning \ DarkerAndEdgier: "Turn the Page" was already a complaint of life on the road, but with James singing it just seems he's bordering his RageBreakingPoint. And "Stone Cold Crazy" features cursing and James changes the harmless "rubber tommy water gun" to a "fully loaded Tommy gun."

* [[BlackComedy Dead Baby Comedy]]: Literally, with "Last Caress/Green Hell":
-->"I got something to say\\
I killed your baby today"
* DistinctDoubleAlbum: As described above.

** FanserviceFauxFight: The pillow fight scenes.

* OddballInTheSeries: The album is mostly bands Metallica grew up liking. Aside from "Turn the Page", which Lars first heard after forming the band, and "Loverman", as Bob Rock sent James some Nick Cave CDs for singing reference and he liked them enough to record one of his songs.

* RockStarSong: "It's Electric"

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Tuesday's Gone"

* {{Troperiffic}}: You could probably write a page ''just'' on the video to "Whiskey in the Jar".

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: The video for the version of "Turn the Page" changes the subject from touring to the story of a SingleMomStripper[=/=]prostitute who is just trying to make enough money to retain custody of her daughter and for them to be able to continue living in their hotel room.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Their version of "Stone Cold Crazy" features cursing and James changes the harmless "rubber tommy water gun" to a "fully loaded Tommy gun."

* MusicVideoOvershadowing: Both "Whiskey in The Jar" (a song about a highwayman being betrayed by his old lady is translated to a bunch of women getting drunk and trashing a house) and "Turn the Page" (the song is about the hardships of a musician's life, the video about a single mom stripper).

* QuestioningTitle: "Am I Evil?"[[note]]Yes, I am[[/note]]

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: A thrash metal band covering Irish folk songs and 1970s Southern Rock.

#."Stone Cold Crazy" (originally recorded by Music/{{Queen}})

* ClusterFBomb: "So What"

* DistinctDoubleAlbum: As described above

* MinimalisticCoverArt[=/=]FaceOnTheCover: As seen above.

* RecordProducer: Bob Rock, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Brad Whitaker

* SingleStanzaSong: "Free Speech for the Dumb" is a single ''lyric'' song, just the title sung over and over.

* TakeThat: A somewhat jokey one. The end of the medley of "Last Caress/Green Hell" features a riff taken from Music/IronMaiden's "Run to the Hills."
