* AudienceAlienatingEra: The transitional period between post-industrial drones and apocalyptic folk from 1987 to 1991 had plenty of moments that just didn't gel, for whatever reason. The album ''Swastikas for Noddy'' was even re-recorded and entirely resequenced as ''Crooked Crosses for the Nodding God.'' Then in 1992, ''Thunder Perfect Mind'' came and changed everything for the better.

* FaceOfTheBand: David Tibet, to a nearly IAmTheBand extent.
* GeniusBonus: The band's esoteric themes make a lot more sense if you have a robust knowledge of religion, occultism, mythology, and archaeology.
* GrowingTheBeard: ''Thunder Perfect Mind'' is generally agreed to be the album where he really hit his stride with the neofolk material.

* {{Narm}} / NarmCharm: Several works in his transitional period (''Imperium'' until ''Island'') contain bits of unintentional hilarity, as Tibet was still getting his feet into the folk rock format. "Beausoleil" from ''Swastikas for Noddy'', apart Tibet's (and every other instrument's) constant howling, Tibet actually sings the line "There's no business like the devil's business" to the tune of "There's No Business Like Show Business" in the middle of the song. The constant "A-raping I shall go, a-raping I shall go…" in "Panzer Ruin" (also from ''Noddy'') sits high on the list as well. Plenty of fans find this perfectly normal and enjoy it – after all, Current 93's second album had the line "JESUS WEPT" yelled across 14 minutes of run time, and ''Swastikas for Noddy'' also produced the huge fan-favourite, "Black Flowers, Please."

* AwesomeMusic: Starting with ''Thunder Perfect Mind'' in 1992, Current 93 released a string of acclaimed albums, back-to-back. ''TPM'' was followed by ''Of Ruine or Blazing Starre'', considered his best work; the epic three-part ''The Inmost Light''; the chilling minimalist ''Soft Black Stars''; and the intensely personal ''Sleep Has His House'' in 2000. Even the next album, ''Black Ships Ate the Sky'', which was released six years later, was considered pretty good.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "Paperback Honey", from the album ''Island'', made in collaboration with Hilmar Örn Hilmarson. It's a bossa nova song with lovey-dovey lyrics. Their earlier PissTakeRap song would have counted if a remix didn't also appear on ''Island''.
