Thematically the album addresses issues of gender identification, stereotypes and narrow expectations. The commentary is clear-eyed, blunt, and at times biting. But the delivery is declarative rather than complaining, resulting in a message that is bold and hopeful. Musically, the guitars bristle, buzz and crunch in a satisfying fashion. This is a burly sound that should bring to mind The Buzzcocks and The Wolfhounds -- fist pumping noise pop that commands your feet to move.
