"Settling Son" features metal guitar riffs in the style of Avenged Sevenfold. "Malachi Richter's Liquor's Quicker" talks about Malachi Richter, a person that self-immolate as a protest against the Iraq War. Fiorello said: "it has everything to do with being at the end of your rope and thinking that the only thing you can do is fucking light yourself on fire to end it all". It features morse code because of a sample the band had included in the track, which translates to "We may lose hope but there's always hope", which was Richter's mission statement. "Golden Age of My Negative Ways" and "The Space They Can't Touch" are two ska songs, the latter of which evokes Panic! at the Disco during the chorus section. "The Life of the Party Has Left the Building", a short introductory song akin to "City of Gainesville", bookends the party song "This One Is Going to Leave a Bruise" and the aggressive closing track, "Devil in My DNA". The latter was reminiscent of the work of NOFX.
