I thought it was a pretty good album, but not something I'd continue listening to for a long time. I listened to it a bunch the day it came out on the net, and it began dwindling quickly right away.
However, "Radio/Video" is stuck in my head as we speak. The chorus of "Hey man, look at me rocking out, I'm on the radio!" cracks me up and is catchy as hell. As for BYOB, it's a fun song, but I suspect it will be played to death in about a week.
I still remember hearing Chop Suey for the first time and liking it a lot and thinking about how much I would hate that song after a while and after hearing it sung literally by most of the people I know and even their mothers. I'd bet BYOB suffers the same fate.
Basically: Definitely worth a DL, but I wouldn't buy it.
