Solid Cake
Its got some great songs on it, in fact is pretty much all great songs. Solid album. For a Cake fan this is a must own. For someone who is not a Cake fan, well, buy it anyway, this will make you one.


Tastiest slice
. Cake struck a moist harmony between their gritty jams, catchy instincts, and sardonic wit with this attuned sophomore outshining anything assimilated afterward.


Great!
Cake is like the Thrills, Polarbears and the Beatles one of the few bands that sounds great and real. This is a great CD from a great band- especially the cover on I will survive is brilliant.

He only knew of one song on the disc. I bought this CD for a friend. After listening to the entire album, he really likes it a lot. The packaging and speedy arrival was excellent for me.


Yummy
It definitely sounds exactly what you would expect (if you're a Cake fan). This California band formed in 1994 and this is the fourth album they have released. In a short period of time they've established themselves in the rock world. Cake is a tad bit different from the overload of alternative/rock bands out there with the way they mix various genres of music such as rock, lounge, funk, blues, punk and hip-hop. They aren't afraid to experiment within their music abilities. It does contain lyrics that refer to sex throughout the CD, which might bother some, but I'm okay with it.

John McCrea sings, Greg Brown on the guitar, Vincent Di Fiore plays the trumpet here with Victor Damiani on bass guitar and finishing the line-up is Todd Roper pounding on the drums. The album did go platinum, achieving some success, which I believe was a result to two cover songs on the album, one being the disco hit "I Will Survive" which is quite entertaining. Other good songs on Fashion Nugget are "Friend is a four letter word" and "The Distance". So what do I think of this CD, in a word -- Yummy.
