Right Tropes, Right Words, Right Action:

  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: As Kyle McGovern of Spin magazine noted regarding the "Evil Eye" music video:
    "The clip splices together a stomach-turning montage of gross-out footage: Blood spewing from a sink faucet, people getting butchered and dismembered, throats being cut, cannibalism, and frontman Alex Kapranos sporting a dirtbag mustache."
  • Madness Mantra: The outro of "Treason! Animals" as said in the lyric packet. "I am an animal, oh give me an animal crown (x infinity)"
  • Video Nasties: The video to "Evil Eye" pays homage to the genre.
  • Visual Pun: The arrows on the album that display its name point to the right.
