There's a richer, if still deliciously fuzzed out, guitar tone that plays a riff that's more immediate and satisfying than almost anything from that old demo. The drums have gone from a background timekeeping afterthought to a lively and active part of the band's sound, sometimes blasting away and other times taking the lead with inspired fills. Layers of rich harmonics creep out from all of the saturated guitar multitracking, sounding something like some subtle keys way back in the mix, though I'm pretty sure it's just a side effect, though probably an intended one. The vocals are a pained banshee wail, stretched out more by the compression, delay and reverb that's applied to them than by force of lungs.
