The music of Rodan is dynamic and complex. Its extremes are well demonstrated within the first two tracks of the groups 1994 recording Rusty. The album introduces us to the band with the rich, chiming layers of Bible Silver Corner, a neo-Classical guitar-and-bass piece that passes through several movements, never getting loud over its near-seven-minute duration and often employing dissonance. The next track is the sharply contrasting hardcore Shiner, a two-and-a-half minute discharge of off-kilter rhythms and spastic vocal blasts. Many musical ideas are explored in each song, sometimes serene and other times violent and tense. The vocals are often spoken or whispered in places, while punctuated by wails and shouts in others. The three guitarists handle vocal duties, some songs being sung/spoken by one person and others being done by all three musicians
