Yes, but you weren't raised on Black Sabbath.

I think my last acquisition was... mmm... Cake - Pressure Chief (not as good as their other albums, though).

Nice sig, btw

Yeah, they're pretty good. Dizzee rascal's music is interesting, but I don't like the sound of his voice.

I really like Cake's old Fashion Nugget Album.

I wasn't aware there was any hype around them at all. Certainly in the UK I've rarely heard mention of them outside of my own group of friends - and we only came across them by accident after seeing them support GVSB a few years ago.

Anyway, that aside, what do you think of the album?

I'm still making up my mind. It's up beat but in a strange almost childish way. I do like synth-rock if it is well done (I love Postal Services new ablum and The Flamming Lips) but I'm still scratching my head about Enon. There was a huge amount of hypster buzz over Brainiac before the leader singer, Timmy Taylor, died in a car accident. I'm ashamed to say I never even heard of Brianiac until after the band ceased to exist but when I heard that former Brianiac #2, John Schmersal, was coming out with his own band I was intrigued.

Track 11 "Natural Disasters" seems to be the bands claim to fame and it isn't bad for a debute album. The rest of the Album comes off as a bit disjointed but I'm hoping that with a bit of experience these guys might age like a fine wine.

Well, Hammerfall was never about variety or innovation. I think Chapter V is decent enough.
