The album retains that vivid wall of 80s new wave retro sound with certain Mozza's vibes, and you can notice that since the beginning starting with the opener "There Always" in which singer Leavins retains the Viva Hate-Morrissey croon sound-a-like, while the band creates a tremendous soundscape in the most pure 80s new wave style, actually Irreversible sound has enough to showcase each instrument at its best.
Throught the album, we can notice the 80s-throwback wall of sound continues on songs like “I Danced With Another Love," which is Cure-esque in both its vocal stylings and beauty, but there are certain rocky vibes on "Slumber Party," while "The Pit" shows a lower pace is unusual on an album that largely breezes past, but becomes no worse a song for it.
The first half of the album is quite fantantics, playful and intese sometimes, yet also retaining the dark, brooding edge that makes this band so fascinating and quite interesting especially on tunes such as "These Acts Of Which We’re Designed". There are certain intense and key tunes such as "Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction," which is quite possibly the best song on the record due it got all the hallmarks of a breakthrough hit, although my personal favourite is "I Can Take The Sun Out Of The Sky." the perfect pop tune to me on this record equalling the earlier song as one of the best. The two closers, particularly the epic "Send Those Memories," are slightly more introspective and slow-burning compared to the dopamine rush of the potential singles,
There is an instrumental interlude "Sillage" and then you have "I Can't Have You All To Myself" an interesting tune that remains The Smiths golden era b-sides. The album is a living proof that the band’s music stands out to be the best of post-punk indie, new romanticism, and some kind of jangling indie-pop that defined the late 80s. and so on. However, the band seems to have updated that sound for the modern era.
