The album signals a shift in a heavier direction and has been described as a "bridge" between the band's original glam metal style and the heavier groove metal sound of their subsequent work.[6] It contains influences from speed and thrash metal while still retaining elements from the band's previous releases. The sound of the album has often been compared to that of Judas Priest, in particular Anselmo's vocals to that of Rob Halford.[7][1]
