Cake - Showroom of Compassion (1-11-2011)

[VirusType2]

"
Showroom of Compassion, released on January 11, 2011, is the name of the sixth full-length studio album from the band Cake. This is the band's first album since the release of Pressure Chief in 2004, the longest gap to date between two consecutive Cake studio albums. John McCrea stated that this album will sound "very different." He said he allowed acoustic piano on the LP, which he had never done because he thought it sounded "too classy." He also said this is the first time he has allowed reverb, which he thought too many bands used to sound "grandiose."

"So sick of work, so sick of play, I don't need another day."

Well now I don't have to respond in the other thread. I was actually listening to it last weekend and I don't think I liked it very much, though to be fair I only heard about half of it and I wasn't giving it my full attention. I thought it had an extreme overabundance of that electronicish ghostly wailing that you hear in No Phone. I'm certainly going to give it a proper try tonight.
