The album was noted for its metallic sound, balanced with psychedelic-style lyrics and instrumentals, and further backed by Latin percussion. The latter two were often brought into play during lengthy jam sessions.

Trivia
gollark: I dislike how it inherits the thing where I have to specify a maximum size for the data to receive, even though python can dynamically allocate buffers.
gollark: `ed`, the standard editor.
gollark: GTech™, of course, perfectly simulates the oracle in order to predict what *it* will do, then does the optimal thing for that.
gollark: There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.You may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.A perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
gollark: (My model for this is that if I find myself choosing between the boxes, I may be being simulated, so I can "change the past" ish)
