1. Instrumental overture. Fades in. Short. Fades into next track.
2. High energy, pre-grunge psych metal. Dreamy bridge. Fades in from previous track. Ends suddenly.
3. Intense quiet/loud rocker. Starts ominously and quietly. Gets loud. Complex beat. Ends suddenly, with some trailing amplifier noise.
4. Very Sabbath-meets-T Rex. Starts suddenly. Lots of time changes. Ends suddenly.
==> 5. Quiet & psychedelic. Prog-like: the song moves from one mood to another. Fades in slowly with backwards guitars, then forwards guitars. Sleepy vocals. Fades.
6. Jazzy & psychedelic. Sleepy vocals. Gets quiet and fades.
7. High energy, mid-tempo rocker. Starts suddenly. Twin guitars a bit reminiscent of Boston. Slows, then final chord crash.
8. Psychedelic rock ballad. Mid-slow. Starts with guitar arpeggio. Moves from quiet to loud. Fades.
==> 9. Intense psych metal. Yelled vocals. Starts suddenly with loud guitar. Ends with wacky space sounds.
