* DuelingWorks: The album is often compared with ''Music/McCartney'', Paul's 1970 solo outing following the Beatles' breakup. Both albums feature a stripped-down DIY aesthetic and emotional vulnerability as the artists try to find their own identity. However, all but the most contrarian fans seem to agree that John's album handily comes out ahead in this round.

* {{Blooper}}: Over the course of its duration "Working Class Hero" speeds up considerably, probably on account of Lennon not working with a drummer or a click track (and becoming angrier and angrier while he was singing.) To notice this, play the song on an [=MP3=] player until it's about 3/4 over and then go straight back to the beginning.
* CreatorBreakdown: Lennon wrote the album while undergoing primal therapy, a scientifically illegitimate form of therapy that entails reenacting past traumas and venting out the pain of them through nonverbal vocalizations (hence the alternative name of "primal ''scream'' therapy"). The influence of the treatment is very much present on the album, which presents a surprisingly personal look into Lennon's own troubled past. The actual making of the album somehow subverted this, as Lennon was reported to be rather upbeat throughout its' recording.
