Several distinct musical techniques were implemented on the album. Most songs use polyphonic lead vocals, usually between Nico Audy-Rowland and Wendy Mittelstadt. Many of the electric instruments have a recognizable reverberation effect.[citation needed]

The album contains genre elements influenced by the blues, disco, spirituals, western narrative, and types of rock.[original research?]
