Early-Installment Weirdness: The album sounds more like Hard Rock than the sound the band became well known for, at times bordering on Prog Rock.

Jesus Was Way Cool

comment
Jesus Was Way Cool: The aptly-titled "Jesus" is a driving Hard Rock sound about how Jesus was a powerful and charismatic "leader of man" who drew adoration from the people around him.

Heavy Meta: "Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll", which is essentially Roger Taylor's attempt to out-rock Led Zeppelin.

Precision F-Strike: "Son and Daughter" features the line "The world expects a man to buckle down and shovel shit". The word was never uttered in live versions; they truncated the sentence at "shovel" or said "it" instead.

Cover Version: "Doin' All Right" is a song that was originally done by Brian May's previous band Smile, so past member Tim Staffell also demanded royalties.
