Sykes believes that some of the work Date has done on the band's production makes Bring Me the Horizon sound like a completely different band. The album has been cited as metalcore, [28] [29] post-hardcore, [29] [30] alternative rock, [31] electronicore, [32] hard rock, [33] and alternative metal, [34] and has been cited as having a more " pop rock sound" while having a "metalcore edge". Bring Me the Horizon] still have a predominantly "metalcore" sound, but they have added in a lot of ambient passages in their songs and have minimized the heavy breakdowns.The lyrics are also cited as possessing anti-religious connotations, [8] with Sykes summarising this by saying "I'm an atheist so it's all about not believing in God.
