The compositions reflect a more mature song writing in some of their more well-known tracks such as "Hell No", "Whiskey Seed", and "Heroes".

The album is characterized by the dual guitar work and harmonies by Troy Thompson and Steve Osborne, highlighted on the songs "Fire and Brimstone" and "Heroes".

The lyrics of "Hell No" talk about sailors trying to stay afloat at stormy seas as a metaphor for struggling in life: "The storm is screaming with vengeance to kill/ Faith has plunged into the sea beneath/ Waves beat the ship with iron first to sink/ We won't go to hell, no we won't go."

"Heroes" progresses to the point when Troy Thompson and Steve Osborne play together for over a minute of rhythm guitar harmony.

The song progresses through its first verse at a double bass driven mid-tempo pace until it reaches an anthem type peak.
