The musical direction of Punk in Drublic was maintained, punchy guitars and melodic, fast punk rock with occasional influences of ska punk. The cover shows a to be interpreted as offensive scene of a man who has his hand sitting on the abdomen of a sheep and also alluded to the album title, a play on words with "Heavy Petting " and a " petting zoo " ( petting zoo ).
