• — Several tracks feature call-and-response vocals between the lead singer and backing harmonies, enhancing the communal feel.
• — The album includes traditional Irish instruments like the fiddle and accordion, which are woven into the punk arrangements rather than being separate interludes.
• — The last two tracks slow down significantly, creating a reflective mood that contrasts with the earlier high energy.
