Cake - "Pressure Chief"
So what's the buzz on "Pressure Chief" by Cake? I haven't read any reviews of it, but I'm a big fan of them. I think they are one of the most consistant bands out there. Some didn't like the departure of their guitarist before their last album, but I didn't mind. Just wondering people's thoughts...
(Oh, and the CD's $9.99 at Best Buy and Media Play, and $11.99 at Circuit City and Target this week)

Just listened to clips of the album here. While it's not fair to judge an album on 30 second samples of each song, it doesn't seem as great as their previous efforts. It sounds like they are using more electronic bleeps and blips this time out (not necessarily a bad thing). "Dime" "Tougher Than This" and "The Guitar Man" sounded appealing, though.
Being the completist that I am, the question isn't whether I'll be buying this. It's more of "do I buy it tomorrow, wait for a used copy to turn up, or pick it up at BMG"?

I bought it on Friday. At first I was very impressed, but after repeated listens, it's only okay. I'm a huge fan of Cake, but this one just isn't all that great. Nothing's particularly bad (except maybe "Carbon Monoxide"), but nothing's great either.
It's also too short. Under 40 minutes is just too short for a full length CD. If I hadn't have picked it up for $9, I'd feel ripped off.
