Heavy riffage kick off "Powertool". It sounds a little like Sevendust due to the deep, soulful but edgy vocals. "Nitro" kicks the tempo up a notch to drive the title. Be wary of this one in the car. You'll be dropping the pedal before you know it. A dark, ominous riff introduces "Return of the Demons", but it's soon replaced by a catchy rhythm section. This track could easily set the tone to a modern day horror flick. The best track on the CD is by far the title track "Dirty Pounding Gasoline". The wicked opening bass line clues you in to the fury that's around the corner. "The Seven" has a balls-to-the-wall chugga-chugga riff that overlaps raw, angry vocals. There's some great bluesy soloing here. The X-Headz throw a ballad into the mix with "Burning". The track flows with a nice single note picking effect, and then cuts to some pounding rhythms and back again.
