It’s typical Ween, meaning it’s awesome. No two songs are in the same style and the production is great. It starts out manic-depressive, goes into the expected schizophrenia of musical styles, and ends up with a lesson in classic rock history from late 60s pop to late 70s prog.

1) Fiesta – Sounds like a vintage game show theme song.
2) Blue Balloon – Has a lounge-y type feel to it, and so far we’re 2 for 2 on songs with trumpets. Sounds like something Flight of the Conchords are trying to do.
3) Friends – Obviously drawn from the Friends EP, except it has a more organic dance feel to it. Also some trumpet action is present.
4) Object – Seems to be a darker version of Baby Bitch. By that, I mean it’s slower
5) Learnin’ to Love – A cheerful, foot-stompin’ two-step.
6) With My Own Bare Hands – Deaner provides vocals for what is sure to be another classic hard rock track
7) The Fruit Man – Chunky reggae beats with trippy vocals
8) Spirit Walker – Seems to be their take on the later years of classic rock bands such as The Who and Zeppelin where they get all epic and spacey.
9) Shamemaker – A classic Ween track from the get-go.
10) Sweetheart – Zombies-esque upbeat classic pop song with a good jazz rhythm
11) Lullaby – Piano Ballad?
12) Woman and Man – 10+ minutes of moody prog rock. Really good prog rock, a mix of drugged out. Its sweaty.
13) Your Party – Perfect choice for an album closer. Mellow without being depressing.
