** The song also includes a section where the lyrics repeatedly ask "cuando?", meaning "When?", though this may also be a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quando_quando_quando "Quando quando quando"]], a 1960s Italian pop song (albeit one styled after Brazilian Bossa nova).

!!Tropes:
* ACappella: "Up on the Hill", being a gospel song worshiping the demon-god Boognish (pictured on the cover), fittingly starts as this, until it breaks out into a guitar-driven punk song in the second half.
* AffectionateParody: "L.M.L.Y.P." is a homage to {{Music/Prince}}.
* BeeAfraid: Exaggerated in "Bumblebee", where the narrator was stung by a single bumblebee ''forty-seven thousand times'' in the brain.
* ClusterFBomb: "You Fucked Up" is a song consisting mostly of swear words.
* EntitledToHaveYou: The narrator of "Nan", Eddie Dingle, who starts the song by singing about how he loves a girl named "Nan", and then later in the song he catches Nan with another man named "Danny", and goes on a tangent on how Nan is a "fuckin bitch" for choosing Danny over him.
* EpicRocking: "Nicole" and "L.M.L.Y.P.", both over eight minutes long.
* GratuitousSpanish: "El Camino", which apparently translates into "The Way".
* MinimalisticCoverArt: The album art is just the band's logo sandwiched between the two other parts of the title, "God" and "Satan", against a contrasting pink background.
* MinisculeRocking: "Old Man Thunder" is the shortest song on the album, clocking in at under thirty seconds.
* {{Pastiche}}: "Old Man Thunder" is a song in the style of Bruce Springsteen.
* IntercourseWithYou: "L.M.L.Y.P.", which of course stands for "Let Me Lick Your Pussy".
* InitialismTitle: Again, "L.M.L.Y.P."
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: "You Fucked Up".
** "Nicole" starts off as a sweet love song before slowly morphing into this trope.
