Rocks Off: I like the psychedelic-sounding break in it. The lyrics are kind of funny even though the song is about heroin use. Rip This Joint: Very fast-paced, not as sure about this one. Ok actually I like the saxophone solo. Shake Your Hips: So this song is actually a cover from blues artist Slim Harpo. I really like this one, the guitar is the highlight. And of course the harmonica. Casino Boogie: This one's an easy listen, pretty basic, but I like the way they came up with the lyrics, by writing phrases on paper and then cutting them up and sticking them together. That's so fun. Tumbling Dice: About a promiscuous gambler, and their only major hit from the album. Lyrically I enjoy how the dice theme is threaded throughout the whole song, I think that's really creative. Sweet Virginia: A country-inspired track. His voice sounds really far away, which I think reflects the hazy, drug-induced atmosphere at the time of recording. Harmonica and guitar are great. Torn and Frayed: Another easy listen, I like the instrumental break in the middle. Enjoyable, not very memorable though. Guitar in outro is satisfying. Sweet Black Angel: The percussion/instrumentation in this one is really interesting and works well with the guitar.
