Album Filler: "Til depotet" from the Evig pint album is most often accused of being this. It has even been partly disowned by Ottesen himself.
And the Fandom Rejoiced: The surprise announcement of Våre demoner, on which were included songs of which only a small number of fans had heard demo or low quality live versions, some dating back to the very earliest days of the band's existence.
Conversely, there was an even smaller grouping of die hard fans who were disappointed to see what they considered to be "secrets found a little off the beaten track" become available to anyone and everyone.
Crazy Awesome: It might as well be the name of the band.
To start, the band considers an oil drum and a crowbar a percussion instrument. And their pump organist occasionally wears a gas mask.
Epic Riff: Plenty. "Ompa til du dør", "Maestro", "På ditt skift", "170", the list goes on...
Ho Yay: Plenty between most of the members of the band. Janove has kissed (at least) two of his bandmates on-stage. And they're most of them married men, make of it what you will.
Indecipherable Lyrics: Often considered this, even by fellow Norwegians, due to their quirky dialect.
Misattributed Song: "Venner for livet", a song by fellow Norwegian group Postgirobygget, circulates on peer-to-peer networks, where it is attributed to Kaizers Orchestra. The group have expressed frustration with this, even going as far as to label the song "a piece of shit."
Painful Rhyme: Janove and Geir's songwriting have both been accused of this by both fans and critics.
The most Egregious example is surely "Toxic blod", in which the word "mean" is used to rhyme with "nitroglyserin"; as in the untranslated English word "mean" used in a Norwegian language song. It doesn't even have slang status.
Tear Jerker: "170", "Bris" and "Die Polizei", to start. Possibly "Gruvene på 16", if only because of the melody and the weary way Janove sounds.
In Real Life, the owner of Kaizers Orchestra's then-record label, Remo Rehder, begun crying upon first hearing the instrumental outro of "Drøm hardt (Requiem part I)".
