1)Concrete and steel (8,0) A happy happy beginning of the album.
2)Lovething (7,5) Slower and cool driving heavy synthesizer blues.
3)Penthouse eyes (7,5)
4)Tell it (8,0) Heavy!
5)My heads in Mississippi (7,5) Heavier!
6)Decision or collision (7,5)
7)Give it up (7,5)
8)2000 Blues (7,5)
9)Burger man (7,5)
10)Doubleback (7,5)
