Restrained tracks
English
Art/Literary
Music
Restrained tracks like "Walters" and the bubbly "Good to Sea" gravitate toward more traditional pop structures yet retain the
addictive and effortless aural sensibility that goes hand-in-hand with the Pinback sound.

tracks which are less wild/noisy/etc.
Tracks on the CD (songs, I imagine) which are less wild/experimental/noisy/loud than the others. That is, the tracks where the band doesn't "let itself go" so much. I would need to know how the other (non-restrained) tracks are described in order to determine the best word to substitute, but hopefully this is enough to give you the idea

recorded tracks which do not fully reflect the normal style of the performers
I think this is what you need to know!

OK! In response to Andrew's comment, try it reworded:
recorded tracks in which the playing does not fully reflect the normal style of the performers
I presume Andrew's point to be that it is not an inferior recording.

In its place are very disciplined and restrained songs.

Andrew Levine
: The key element of the meaning is not merely that these tracks are *different* from the others, but that they are different *because* the band is playing in a more restrained style. This is an important point.
