== Style and lyrics ==
''Tunnel Vision'' features an aggressive, underground sound. Jason Young of RapReviews.com noted that the collective consists of blacks, whites, and Latinos, men and women, thus offering a diverse sound.〔 Young said that on the album's title track, rapper Macho channels an "early-90's LL Cool J" sound, and considered the decision to change tempo for the track's bridge was "pure genius."〔 Of rapper Raphi, Young mentioned that he "does his best Slim Shady impersonation on his solo joint, 'Motivate', albeit with some decidedly un-Eminem lyrics."〔 ''Exclaim!'''s Thomas Quinlan's called "Motivate" "Timbaland-influenced", "Human Race" as mariachi sounding of "Human Race" and considered "Remember" a "testimonial track". Anthony DeBarros of ''CCM Magazine'' described ''Tunnel Vision'' as hip hop "and occasional R&B", and felt that while Tunnel Rats did not break any new musical ground, the collective had "a knack for using studio tools effectively."〔 He explained that "Zane’s 'Change' floats over a shimmering electric piano, and 'For the Heads' evokes a jazzy nostalgia with an acoustic piano loop and simulated record-groove clicks and pops."〔
Russ Breimeier of Crosswalk.com described the Tunnel Rats' style as "modern hip-hop that blends melodic hooks and world music sounds to the rap and beats." Breimeier cited "Motivate" as an example of Tunnel Rats' innovative sound, as the song blends "rapid machine-gun rapping with a Latin-sounding melodic hook, smartly programmed drums, and (get this) a harpsichord."〔 Breimeier also referenced "Sev Statik", which bathes its sound in strings and Middle Eastern instruments, and "Ladies", which "tackles biblical feminism with the same spirit that Salt n' Pepa brought to the topic years ago."〔 In discussing the challenging lyrical content of the album, Breimeier highlighted "2 Cents", which used "jazz-soaked hip hop" to tackle the issue of Christians being too quick to judge, the "dissonant sounding" track "Finish Line", which Breimeier considered "a smart rephrasing of I Corinthians 9:24-27", and the catchy "Master Plan", which he viewed as offering a sobering statement of the world as per the Book of Jeremiah.〔 ''Cross Rhythmss Sam Gunnell stated that "Each track has its own individual sound and content but each possesses the usual hard hitting and challenging lyrics" and noted that the final track has an "R&B vibe".〔
