Style
Compared to Sulk, Perhaps was slightly more restrained. The watery production style was replaced by LinnDrum patterns, orchestration and a predominantly synth based sound with guitars taking even more of a backseat. Songs such as "Breakfast" heralded the soulful ballad sound that Billy would switch to with his next album. However certain songs still had the frenetic hysteria that Sulk provided especially on "Helicopter Helicopter" and "Schampout". There are a lot of different styles on the record from the skewed synthpop of "Perhaps" to the classical meets unconventional instrumentation of "Thirteen Feelings".
