What do you guys think on this band? Live up to the hype or just another mediocre act? Is City really better than everything else they've done? can anyone explain why Devin Townsend looks like an egg wearing a hula skirt? Discuss my munchkins XD

But I seriously think they were quite unique, and very very funny. Any band that has a song called 'Satan's Ice Cream Truck' has to be good haha.

Then in the second track there's the bass interlude and I just said... "Holy shit!" Also Ensiferum, whom I've had a few CDs of for a while now. I only got around to giving them a proper listen last night while I was organising the music on my my hard drive, and I said... "Holy Shit!"
