Re-Reviews: Redo the Stacks
“The resulting album radiates with the manic fervor of youth, hardly letting up between songs, filling the interstitial moments with yelps and laughter, counts and clicks, buzzing amps, clipped conversations, and feedback that bleeds from one song into the next. Johnson’s exuberance inflates the songs like helium in a balloon, some – like “Rock and Roll Eyes,” a brash, telling-off of hangers-on awash in sloshy hi-hat – to the point of nearly bursting. “Fidgeting Wildly,” despite being one of the slower songs, captures the essence of the album as it nervously rattles against the empty spaces, impatient for the next moment of release.”
