Style


This album moves away from The Exploited's street punk/Oi! style and moves to a heavier style that has elements of speed metal, crossover thrash and hardcore punk. Featuring strong elements of metal, punk rock elements are present on the album. The song "Sexual Favours" isn't a metal song and is different from the other songs on the album. The song is notable for its use of female vocals. "Sexual Favours" has a bass line that is similar to the bass line in the Pink Floyd song "Let There Be More Light".
