"Something Dirty" presents a raw and eclectic sonic landscape, characteristic of Faust's experimental rock ethos. The album features a blend of abrasive textures and hypnotic rhythms, with tracks like "Tell the Bitch to Go Home" and "Thoughts of the Dead" showcasing a gritty, lo-fi production style. The instrumentation is diverse, incorporating distorted guitars, pulsating basslines, and unconventional percussive elements, creating a sense of urgency and unpredictability. The tempo varies across tracks, oscillating between frenetic energy and more meditative moments, as heard in "Herbststimmung." Distinctive soundscapes emerge in pieces like "Invisible Mending," where layers of sound intertwine, resulting in a compelling auditory experience that challenges traditional rock conventions.
