Vocal Styledynamic vocals
Notes: Clamorous and loud with carefully controlled noise, wild angular riffs, distorted thrashing guitar, and frenzied chilly vocals that climb to apocalyptic pitches. Dense textures create a claustrophobic, intense post-punk atmosphere with odd aural effects and high energy.

The title track is a racing rumble of distorted guitar, great percussion, and Peter Murphy's intense vocals expressing boredom in a flat field amid sheets of guitar noise.
