Musical style

In his brief review for Rolling Stone, Mike Ayers stated the record "has nothing to do with horror films and much to do with psychedelic rock."[2] Andy Beta of Spin echoed this, saying that "despite both band and album name, Slasher Flicks' sound is less haunted house than funhouse: dense, noisy, with squiggles of analog synth that recall AnCo's Centipede Hz."[4]

Stuart Berman of Pitchfork compared the first track "A Sender" to two songs from the discography of Avey Tare's main group Animal Collective: "Did You See the Words" from 2005's Feels and "Peacebone" from 2007's Strawberry Jam, claiming its "bouncing-ball momentum...follows in the foot-stomps" of those "two totemic AC openers."[5] Beta noted "A Sender"'s "opening analog synth...suggest an ominous horror movie atmosphere, but it soon gives way to a near-punk drive."[4]
