==Musical style==

Lesser Of Two's music had a crust punk sound without following any rules of the genre. The music was characterized by incredibly fast tempos giving way to slower heavier parts. The music was also accompanied with screaming vocals, crazy noise, and political lyrics with an emphasis on the negative aspects of human existence.<ref name="operationphoenixrecords1">{{cite web|url=http://www.operationphoenixrecords.com/heartattackissue27-11MusicReviews.pdf |title=Powered by: Doteasy - Bannerless Free Web Hosting and Email for Small Business and Individual |publisher=Operationphoenixrecords.com |date= |accessdate=2010-05-29}} {{Dead link|date=November 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>
