After being teased in Ambergris, Work This Time starts with Joey launching into his solo in the intro rather than the typical point later on in the song. The latter part of the song still included a full-band jam which sometimes replaces the guitar solo.

Eschewing Joey’s traditional solo, the band instead opts for a funky and propulsive jam. Over this, solos emerge that evoke the freewheeling jazz fusion of early 70s Zappa and the Allmans. As the band returns to the typical outro progression, through maintaining the jam's unusual feel, Joey takes another raging solo to cap off a fiery and groundbreaking version.
