Reviews Customer Reviews for Bring Your Own Stereo      Great album:      Rating:      This is a great album and an evolutionary one for JCS. I can listen to this album repeatedly the entire way through. All these nobodies saying the music isn't good anymore and they sold ou. There is a Lagwagon song and one of the lyrics says it all for these people. "The bands are good 'til they make enough cash to eat food and get a pad. Then they're sold out and their music is cliché Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay."     Customer Reviews for Bring Your Own Stereo Cd      Makes me look on the past with a bit of shame.      Rating:      While browsing the bargain bin a few weeks ago, I came across this album, which I hadn't listened to since it was stolen (along with the rest of my somewhat sad collection) a few years earlier. I did a quick recollection of how much I had enjoyed the album in the past, so I gave it a shot. After a full listen-through, I was surprised to find that my opinion about the album hadn't changed all that much. My musical taste has matured somewhat over the time period since I last listened to it, but, I found it interesting that I still felt the same way. Spiraling, Lazy Boy Dash, Do Right, and String O' Pearls are by far the strongest tracks on the CD, as they exercise what, in my opinion, JCS does best: entertain us with slightly poppy, yet mysteriously intriguing instrumentals, all driven by Jimmy Haha's gravely tenor. After that, the CD really goes down the drain. The instrumentals lose creativity and just, well, drone. Face It reminds me of Spiraling with a weaker chorus and poor vocal/instrumental harmonies. Let's Get Flat and Ooh have depressing lyrics in the sense that they're just nonsensical, which leaves you with a bad feeling about the rest of the album. If you can find it for an inexpensive price like myself, I'd recommend picking up for the first four tracks alone; maybe you'll find something in the latter half of the CD that I missed, too.
