Composition

Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! writes that the album sees the group continue their combination of musique concrète and gangsta rap, while deeming it more accessible than their earlier work. [14] Fred Thomas of AllMusic deems it a harsh album that fuses "noise frequencies, brutally dark beats, and MC Daveed Diggs' unhinged, often ugly lyrical flow." [15] "Intro" features rapping over a beatless backdrop of feedback reminiscent of Merzbow. [15] "Dream" features a "ringing bell, white noise and tape hiss", [14] while the next track "Get Up" is built solely around the sound of an alarm clock. [14] [15] The album also features a performance of John Cage's Williams Mix (1951–1953), recorded with Tom Erbe. [14]
