Well, I'm still listening to Pork Soda the most right now, probably because it's the most familiar of the albums I have. Once I listen to a bit more of each album I'll probably have a better way of deciding which one seem the best to me.
To put it into simple terms, the metal community is very elitist; they don't think you're a "trve" metal listener unless you listen to a certain handful genres of it, like early black metal that evolved in Norway or the "peak" of death metal (which had become known as "brutal death metal"). If you listen to more casual genres like melodic metalcore and the like, you're labeled as a poser. At least some of the community is like that.
Haha, I have been meaning to try some jazz on it, I can play a few songs but obviously I can't improvise yet. I'm going to keep up on the keyboard, casually albeit, but every now and then I'll whip out the old thing and start playing. I would rather play bass, yeah, it just has an awesome sound. Not to mention everyone says I look like a bass player, and my lower voice doesn't help that, haha.
That's all pretty cool. Especially the writing part, even if it never really works out, at least you can say you've tried; I'd like to try it sometime myself, but I probably wouldn't be too good at it.
Also, when I was reading through waylt:

I have to side with pink skitty on this one. There's no such thing as "too tired to watch Death Note."

Haha, guess I remain the only person in waylt who isn't interested in Death Note or other anime.
