You will hear this described as power pop, retro, blues rock, and proto-punk. There's a lot of different sounds going on here but it fits together. My favorite songs were Yesterday's Numbers and Whiskey Woman. I didn't love the title track but its lyrics were something Billie Joe Armstrong would have written if he grew up in the 60s: When you see me Better turn your tail and run 'Cause I'm angry And I'll mess you up for fun I'm a child of atom bombs And rotten air and Vietnams, I'm you You are me FYI - the original album went up to Track 9 (Whiskey Woman) and everything that follows are bonus tracks from the CD release years later. The bonus tracks are covers of early 60s songs like "That'll Be the Day" and Walking the Dog... they sound GOOD.
