Reviews Customer Reviews for Pressure Chief      Competent but continues to dumb-down with polish      Rating:      2 1/2 There continuation of a more pop oriented, keyboard-driven, easy going snazziness is not as bad as it could be, but I understand why some fans of the band have become disappointed. Starting relatively strong, the album eventually dwindles into auto-piloted bounce, albeit with some still feint sings of the band's trademark lyrical and white-funk skill.     Customer Reviews for Pressure Chief Cd      Cake at its worst      Rating:      This CD sucks. No matter how manty times I listen to it, I cant find anything to like about it. Editorial Reviews for Pressure Chief Audio Cd      Amazon.com      While artists like Beck and Radiohead see every new album as an opportunity for reinvention from the ground up, Cake has no such hang-ups. From the uniformly rustic cover art, the jerky rhythms and wobbly trumpet solos, each of Sacramento band's albums is reassuringly interchangeable. But on its fifth, the group's most distinguishing characteristic--John McCrea's deadpan, detached vocals--seems to have been given a makeover. On songs such as "No Phone" and "Tougher Than It Is" for the first time the singer seems, well, like he's actually trying to sing. It's nothing dramatic--the music will still sound immediately familiar to those who even in passing have heard hits such as "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" and "The Distance"--but with certain bands a little goes a long way. --Aidin Vaziri
