Cake Keeps Up the Good Music The guitar is funky, the bass line is solid, the drums are groovin, and the lyrics always make me smile. Cake continues to impress my musical tastes with their last album, Pressure Chief. .
Competent but continues to dumb-down with polish
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. 2 1/2
Their 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.
Cake at its worst
No matter how manty times I listen to it, I cant find anything to like about it. This CD sucks.
A huge let-down
Ive tried my hardest to appriciate this album but after 3 attempts Ive lost hope for it. Ive loved most all of Cakes' songs on everyalbum and if I didnt love it then it was at least Ok. If you like Cake and cant find yourself liking the songs right away dont waste your time trying to lie to yourself.
Tastiest CAKE yet!
Pressure Chief was cranked from day one, and I still test the amps in my car with it. I am a CAKE junkie - have all their albums - catch any show I can - eagerly await new releases. Wheels is such a hot arrangement, as are numerous other tunes on here. My wife used to hate CAKE, but this album actually pulled her in because John is a bit more melodic now. "No Phone" got her. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews! Crank this baby and I mean often!.
