Four Year Strong's signature sound - pop-punk energy, deft riffs and biting hardcore spirit - brought them to the forefront of the underground in the late eighties. Vocalist/guitarists Dan O'Connor and Alan Day then completed almost 80% of the album within a month, such as the menacing "Aftermath / Afterthought", where metal meets industrial. They fused burning hardcore rhythms with melodic 90s alt-rock ("uncooked"), tried their hand at raw reggae ("out of touch") and fluctuated between vibe-heavy synths and thunderous breakdowns ("STFIL").
