No, you didn't lose the bass in your stereo, you put Jesus & Mary Chain on. The songs are more or less simple pop songs delivered in a monotone with layers upon layers of feedback and echo. Whether or not you enjoy the band has a lot to do with how you feel about their shrill sound. For me, I enjoy J&MC singles but get agitated after several songs in a row.
Songs I knew I liked: "Just Like Honey"
Songs I didn't know but now like: Never Understand," "Inside Me," "Sowing Seeds" (Maybe not so much for it being a good song, but it is relatively feedback free and served as an audio rest break.), and "My Little Underground" (He almost sounds like he's happy while singing!)
Songs I can go the rest of my life without hearing again: Several of the songs just faded into the background for me. Whether it was fatigue of the JAMC sound or something about those particular songs, I'm not sure.
