The 2013 LP version of the album contains a modified track listing.[1]
The musical style of Apple O' is seen as experimental noise pop. However, it has also been noted for having more in common with a "typical jangly" indie pop album.[2]
Bebop, dance, 1950s doo-wop, jangle pop, and jazz sounds all show up across the album as well.[3]
