Composition
Sarajevo-x.com thought that the album's sound was noticeably different compared to Sikter's previous recordings, but still recognizable as Sikter, featuring "heavy guitar riffs, solid rhythm section, pumping bass, penetrating keyboards.
Zlatar, Sikter's vocalist, explained the name of the album: "I think the whole world is on an ego trip, from the capitalists who imposed it on us to those who are fighting against them. I think it's time to become more socially oriented."
