Music and lyrics

The music of Collected has predominantly been described as nu metal^[2] and is noted for "kinetic, frenzied energy".^[3] On this compilation, DJ Lethal functions as a sound designer for the band, shaping their sound. According to Lethal, "I try and bring new sounds, not just the regular chirping scratching sounds. [...] It's all different stuff that you haven't heard before. I'm trying to be like another guitar player."^[4] Though the band is generally opposed to the use of solos, they allowed drummer John Otto to perform an extended solo in the middle of the song "Nobody Like You".^[5]

Wes Borland's guitar playing on this compilation is experimental and nontraditional, and is noted for creative use of six and seven-string guitars.^[6] The songs from Three Dollar Bill, Yall$ feature him playing without a guitar pick, performing with two hands, one playing melodic notes, and the other playing chord progressions.^[4] His guitar playing on this album also makes use of octave shapes, and choppy, eighth-note rhythms, sometimes accompanied by muting his strings with his left hand, creating a percussive sound.^[7] Borland's guitar playing also has unevenly accented syncopated sixteenth notes to create a disorienting effect, and hypnotic, droning licks.^[7] The song "Stuck" uses a sustain pedal in the first bar, and muted riffs in the second bar.^[7]

Durst's lyrics are often profane, scatological or angry.^[8] Much of Durst's lyrical inspiration came from growing up and his personal life.^[4] His breakup with her inspired the Significant Other songs "Nookie" and "Re-Arranged".^[9]
