The album's style is characterized as "blending affective pop/rock melodies and lyrics with their good time jug band roots." Jesse Colin Young's basslines are described as "propulsive" and Joe Bauer's drum work is described as "nimble." The album makes use of electric piano and harpsichord. Some of the material present on the album has been described as "jazzy." The album's third track, "On Sir Francis Drake," is an instrumental, and the ninth track "Trillium" employs musical improvisation from the band. "Sham" is described as a "straightforward rocker," drawing comparisons to other Bay Area music acts such as Stoneground. "Ride the Wind" takes stylistic cues from Latin music.

BSCD2: When a standard CD is mastered, an Infared beam is used to make the digital notches on the master disc (mother matrix). With the Blu-spec master, a blue laser is used which is a finer etching process. With this technology, the notches are therefore more precise which reduce playback errors. The notches on a Blu-spec CD have a width of 125 nm compared to the 500 nm width on a standard CD.
