TRACK FRAGMENTS:
1.) "Money Machine" - This track kicks off with a very abstract Sixties Acid Rock musical arrangement. During the pre-chorus the guitar pattern changes to a very Beatles type influential arrangement. The music and lyrics of the song are a lot like the stuff the Beatles where working on right before they split.
2.) "Sellout" The intro of this song is very influenced by the Alan Parsons Project. The lyrical arrangement is of an early John Lennon solo style. The breakdown section of this song was done in as real strange way, it sounded like someone in the studio keep hitting the fast forward button.
3.) "Neuropsychopathic Eye" - This track opens with high reverb on the guitar. When the vocals kick in there is also a lot of reverb on them.
4.) "Side Effects" - This track opens with a strange mix of heavy guitar patterns and sixty's back up music. The vocal arrangement sounded a lot like Badfinger.
5.) "(Another) Nervous Breakdown" -The intro begins with a harp type-sounding pattern before kicking in with heavy guitars. The vocal arrangement on this once also has a very Beatles sound. There is a real intense keyboard solo at the end of the song.
6.) "Mindbender" - This track opens with a drum fill. The actual guitar arrangement of the song is very seventy's sounding. Adding the keyboard arrangements and solo's this song takes a very progressive feel to it.
7.) "Ironheel" - This into as a very abstract Black Sabbath type bass line. When the song kicks in you can really hear the Sabbath influence.
8.) "Death Walks Behind You" -This is a cover song, who did it originally escapes me at the moment.
9.) "The Bitter End" -This tracks intro keyboard wise reminded me of Pink Floyds "The Wall". There are two solos one acoustic then one that is electric.
