* HilariousInHindsight: The song title "Exhuming [=McCarthy=]" became amusing to look back on after 1998, when R.E.M. enlisted ''Pat'' [=McCarthy=] (no relation to Joseph) to produce their material up until 2004.

* CoveredUp: Like with their cover of "Superman" on ''Lifes Rich Pageant'', R.E.M.'s cover of "Strange" on this album tends to eclipse the original version by Music/{{Wire}} in popularity, much to the vocal consternation of both Wire fans and HardcorePunk fans in general. Both tend to admonish the cover for what they saw as R.E.M. missing the point of the original version's slower, more abrasive sound (the cover is played closer to R.E.M.'s typical JanglePop style), and it extends to a point where many openly despise R.E.M.'s entire catalog as a result. Punk fans certainly take no compromises, it seems.
