My favourite track is actually Show Me Your Soul. I adore that track.
I quite like Throw Away Your Television... funky bassline, cool drumbeat and a weird as hell solo.

I'm a bit ambivalent towards Magic Johnson. The song itself is pretty rubbishy but I love the riff which comes in at about 2:15... it has such a nice fruity sound.
