 It is, as Keenan notes, audibly less musically conventional than its predecessors and relies on Stapleton's improving abilities of tape-editing and construction, honed during these Friday evening sessions.The "Audion Guide To Nurse With Wound" states that the album is "a step on from the Dadaist rock of Merzbild Schwet, with much use of tape manipulation and classical avant-garde techniques" with Allmusic using keywords including "unsettling", "volatile", "eerie" and "nocturnal" to describe the feel of the album which combined tape edits with resonating gong tones and disembodied children's voices to create a sonic collage far removed from the harsh improvisations of the group's early albums.The sleeve credits include a declaration that the record was inspired by Franz Kamin.
