While the lyrics on their early EPs were an outlet for Ian's "message", the lyrics on Out of Step deal mainly with friendships (or problems associated with them). The original vinyl version of this album is quite different from the one on the Complete Discography compilation; most notably, the guitar on the bridge and Ian's scream at the end of "Out of Step" are entirely removed from the CD compilation.

It is mentioned in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Pitchfork named this album #100 on their list of the Top 100 Albums of the 1980's. [3]
