"Heartbroken & Homicidal" has a strongly rock-oriented sound. "Spiderwebs" contains "an ominous set of strings that recall some vintage Hitchcock horror a la PSYCHO", music sampled from the score to the film "Death Wish II". "Apple" has  a 1970s funk sound and "porn-style wah-wah". Kik Axe Music reviewer James Zahn compares "Circles" to Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" and "Cyanide" to music by Mr. Bungle and White Zombie, while describing "P.S.A." as having a world music-based beat. Release. The album's 28-page booklet is packaged to look like a notebook, with the liner notes written in invisible ink. Included in the casing is a black pencil which could be used to reveal the album's liner notes, which can also be seen with a black light. In addition to the album's  credits, the booklet features fictional entries written by a mentally unstable person. Through the advice of a therapist, the man writes of his breakup and heartbreak, which leads him to begin showing homicidal tendencies. Reception. Allmusic reviewer David Jeffries gave the album 3.5 out of 5, saying that ""'Heartbroken & Homicidal" is not rap-rock duo Twiztid's entry into the emo craze ... [but rather] just straight-up mayhem and disgust." Jeffries noted that the album's deeper lyrics are an example of the group's ever growing strength and evolution, and that the album's producer, Monoxide, packaged the "mature , bummer messages in grinding beats and dark soundscapes that recall the group's early work." Kik Axe Music reviewer James Zahn gave the album a four and a half out of five rating, writing that "the duo has recaptured the feeling of their earlier work" with the "thump and boom [that fans have] been craving."
