The opening song, "Help Me (She's Out of Her Mind)", has been described as "easy funk", and comparisons were drawn between Jones' vocals on the song and John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" vocals. Jason MacNeil of PopMatters compared the "moody, murky blues rock" song to Southern soul, while describing "Maybe Tomorrow" as "English soul." Lead single "Madame Helga" has been described as gospel and glam metal, with "dirty guitars duplicating a funky brass section." The acoustic, country-styled "Climbing the Wall" features horn and string sections and a Southern rock guitar solo, while the "pseudo-experimentalism" of "I'm Alright (You Gotta Go There To Come Back)" features looped drums and a piano. The quieter "Rainbows and Pots of Gold" has soul influences and concerns "a friend who stole [Jones'] girl."
