.

The first half (tracks 1-6), entitled "Love It", features soft, sweet folk-styled songs in an optimistic, romantic (yet still ironic) vein, sung by Lou Watts and featuring acoustic guitars and violin. The second half (tracks 7-13), entitled the "Hate It", is devoted to anger, loudness, noise and raw emotion, featuring the other vocalists, faster rhythms, trumpet and loud guitars. This was complemented by a man on the album cover with "LOVE" and "HATE" tattooed on his knuckles. Some versions even featured two separate CDs, one for each part.
