32!!This album provides examples of:
33* CoverSong: "Hide Your Heart", which was written by Paul Stanley but originally performed by Bonnie Tyler -- a rather recursive example.[[note]]And to make things even more confusing, Ace Frehley later covered it as well[[/note]]
34* EarlyBirdCameo: Future member Tommy Thayer played guitar on "Betrayed" and "The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away".
35* FaceOnTheCover: Well, not that of the band members, but that of the Sphinx wearing sunglasses.

37* LiteraryAllusionTitle: "The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away", playing off of [[Literature/BookOfJob Job 1:21]].
