I find Cake much more enjoyable than Gorillaz, and their vinyl pressings are as hard to come by as Demon Days was before 2017.
Yes, chart discussions are stupid, especially in this case. Most of the stuff that sold millions in the 90s has already been repressed, so a niche pick like Cake would make sense. That said, Storf doesn’t like them either so I don’t think they’re a real contender.
What I will stand by is that I’d be much more interested in a Cake ROTM than any Gorillaz album, but that’s just a matter of preference. They’re a feel-good band and I think many people rediscovered their 90s output years after the fact. “Never There” slaps.
I’m honestly more curious about November now. “Most metal since Sabbath” unfortunately could mean “less metal than Sabbath, more metal than Queen” which is still quite a wide gap in heaviness.
That’s you I am probably the opposite. VMP only have to justify it to themselves that they can sell enough copies to make a profit. Again that wasn’t what I was saying but still I give up with this thread.
