We think it'll end upward existence the heaviest thing nosotros've made and then far on many levels. It'due south striking united states as the closest nosotros've gotten to what our initial vision of what Death Grips would audio similar. Nosotros have the feeling and information technology's pretty accented that this album will contain our well-nigh future-forward and strong material...It'southward emotionally raw and straight; the sound is indescribable, it's very beat oriented. Information technology has some of the guitar-driven elements that nosotros touched on with Exmilitary but they aren't exactly being generated by a guitar."

In August 2012, the ring told Pitchfork: "there are no manually programmed drums on this album, the beats are being played live on a Roland electronic v-pulsate fix or acoustic pulsate set past Zach. There are no features, guest collabs or outside producers. The fabric is cold, bass heavy, minimal, rock & gyre influenced and could simultaneously fit into a rave or dance club context. It is essentially rap and electronic music while at times extremely aggressive."[9] The song "Bogus Death In The Westward" features an sound sample from the song "Beingness Sucked In Again" by English post-punk ring Wire from their 1978 anthology Chairs Missing.

I looked at it and said, 'This is a bang-up photo, and I'd dear for this to exist the anthology cover.'" Hill further explained, "It was difficult to exercise, honestly, in general, it was very difficult. Information technology's difficult even telling people that's the source of it; it feels sacrificial in a sense. That idea existed long before, by the style. This is going to sound funny to other people, but we saw it as tribal, as spiritual, equally central. Also, it comes from a place of existence a ring that is perceived as...such an aggressive, male person-based, by some, misogynistic-seeming ring... Information technology'due south a brandish of embracing homosexuality, non that either of united states are homosexual. Am I making sense? People are still going to call up that it's manlike, but that's non the source of where information technology comes from."[viii] In a divide interview with Pitchfork, Hill expounded, "It's also a spiritual affair; it's fearlessness...it represents pushing past everything that makes people slaves without even knowing it."[25]
