Track listing

Supplemental information

• The tracklisting above is for the US release of the album. On all other versions of the album track 14 is a song called Concrete And Clay instead of the track Improvise. The photo on the cover is at San Vicente Boulevard and La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, California
• On the European release of Quality Control, one track differs - track 14 is "Concrete and Clay" (replacing "Improvise"). The track is something of a reprise or re-working of the song "Concrete Schoolyard" from their debut album, Jurassic 5, and the two songs share the same chorus.
• A copy of the CD is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History along with Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ozomatli's eponymous debut album as representations of Southern California's music scene.
• The Australian edition of the album included a second disc containing instrumental versions of each of the tracks.
• The track "Improvise" was featured on the English version of the cult Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in the U.S.).
• "Great Expectations" was used as a track in the video game Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX.
• The vocals on "How We Get Along" are sampled from Bernard Purdie's instructional video Groove Master.
