"Max's Tune" is a tune with a mysterious element in the tune of this album. Twining of the guitar that plays a beautiful melody and the piano creates one space. However, the part where progress and Blues of the code in which Max Middleton is skillful in the flow are good is concealed. It might exactly have a prototype of the melody listened to by "Blow By Blow" and "Wired" part. It might be an exactly fantastic, graceful tune.

"I've Been Used" shifts to the flow with R&B and Groove from riff of a quiet guitar that the mute is done. The progress of the code has not stayed as simple Blues and R&B.
