The album has a more pronounced electronic sound than its predecessor. Many producers contributed to the album.[4] According to guitarist Simon Rowe, while the band's first album, Whirlpool, "originally had a very raw feel" and was made as an attempt by the band to sound like The Stooges live, Blood Music was "a different concept altogether". It has a lot more dance music influences that mainly came into play from vocalist/guitarist Andrew Sherrif.[5]
Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote: "Another tuneful delight in a different kitchen, Blood Music hustles and bustles, putting emphatic rhythms into songs that could have been cut from the first album’s sparkling pop cloth."[6]
The US Limited Edition includes a bonus disc containing two remixes of We Are The Beautiful, Frost and Picnic.
