The tracks on Abrasive are : 'Abrasive', 'Nobody Told Me', 'Stressed Out', 'Hour Glass Man', 'Migrain', 'Said', 'All I Ask For', 'Purple Heart', 'Locket', 'Time', 'Piss It All Away'.

Abrasive starts with the excellent title track 'Abrasive' there are some nice changes in direction, great vocals and some superb guitar.

'Nobody Told Me' is a great track with changes in direction and tempo and some great guitar.

Next track is 'Stressed Out', this is a good track with some nice changes in tempo and mood.

Track four is 'Hour Glass Man' an excellent track, nice changes in direction and tempo and again some great guitar.

'Migrain' is a great track with great guitar.

Next is 'Said', which has some nice changes in mood and tempo.

Track seven 'All I Ask For' is a great track with some nice changes in direction.

'Purple Heart' an excellent track with some great guitar.

The next track is entitled 'Locket' an excellent track with the vocals just sounding like Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. Great Guitar.

Track ten is 'Time', another great track.

And the last track is called 'Piss It All Away', which is a great track.

I think Abrasive is an extremely good album. I did find bits that sounded a bit Nirvanarish, but that didn't worry me. The songs are well-crafted, production and quality superb. Puddle Of Mudd are another band who are full of energy and that comes over in their music.
