 Their extensive use of wah-wah pedal and accenting chords on the up-beat rather than the down-beat is what helps to give the album a distinct and funkier rhythm that is broken up by brief periods of stop-time where only the sustained chords are heard from the electric guitar with an open wah pedal.The riffs are fast-paced and energetic with repeating patterns that combine with multiple voices (i.e.horns, piano, bass, synthesizer, guitar and drums and percussion).
