Title Drop | |
| Toehider (Music) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: "Good" seems to double-subvert this, as Mike mumbles the word at the very end of the track instead of singing it. | |

| Toehider (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: Almost half their material likes to do this. "Meet the Sloth" is 12 and a half minutes long. "....." is neither epic nor rocking but the ambient track runs for over 11 minutes. The entire Done and Dusted EP is basically just 19 minutes of Title Track. | |

Cover Version | |
| Toehider (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: Children of the Sun and its sequel are Toehider's takes on underappreciated cartoon theme songs. He had a minor viral hit (later released as an official single) with a cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights". In the original key, no less. Based on a YouTube comment from his channel on an upload of the cover, he now regards it as something of an Old Shame, being displeased with the performance, explaining his original upload's disappearance. | |
