Composition

Visceral incorporates elements of hip hop, electronic, bass and rock, with songs varying in the styles from future bass to funk and from rap to ambient. The album is described as "filled with dark, moving material" and it "doesn't shy away from life's roughest truths." The second half of the album is noted for getting "progressively lighter and more upbeat after the breakdown in Colorblind." Among the singles were "All Is Lost", "Made for You" and "Solo". The album is stylistically described as "ranging on the emotional spectrum from heartbreak and rejection to unhealthy relationships to the mental purgatory faced by being stuck in your own head" and a "personal deep dive into Getter's own life and tells a story of raw human emotions such as struggle, rejection, heartbreak and healing."
