Reception

[edit]

Malcolm Mayhew wrote in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the "intentionally grainy Redo the Stacks was recorded in, among other places, Johnson's bedroom, and while listening to it, you can't help but wonder if this is just Funland's old stuff playing on his stereo in the background, with the speakers filtered through a four-track".[2] In his review for the Dallas Morning News, Thor Christensen wrote that the album is a "masterful fusion of pop and punk into bare-bones rock 'n' roll" and that "Johnson and his co-horts perform their songs with haphazard glee".[3]
