It opens with the title track, which has an irresistible groove, great singing from the sisters, excellent organ playing and a lot of fuzzed out electric guitar.

The next song is a heavier-feeling piece in 3/4, called "Amebo", and also features the fuzz guitar. The first lyrics are "If the ask me / I'm going to tell the truth". You can really get a sense of how strong this band is from their ensemble work here.

The third song, "Life's Gone Down Low" was apparently sampled by Nas for his song "Life's Gone Low", and it's easy to understand why. It's a killer, laidback but tough groove laying a foundation for the sisters to sing about the importance of love and undestanding.

"Cashing In" is the sprightliest and fastest song on the record with the sisters' harmonies sounding especially heavenly while their lyrics criticize, I think, selling out and exploitation. The drumming on this one is pretty amazing.

Then it's time for the reggae groove of "Bobby", which is fantastic. The bass and drums are doing an excellent job here.

The last song, "Lord Have Mercy", is a slow and intense piece, using only two chords for big chunks of it. In addition to singing the words of the title, the sisters also mournfully evoke dead mothers, starving children, absent fathers, waster lives…. In the background the guitar wails, the organ lays down thick, sustained blocks of sound. It's a powerful and sobering work.
