Amazon. Cover comThe Twisted Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" is a statement of intent, while the cool jazz riffs from trumpet in the band are part of what makes tracks like "Daria", "It's Coming Down "and" Frank Sinatra "so original. "Distance" is a funky up-cons a concert of Red Hot Chili Peppers. – Jeff Bateman. . . More>>

I’m wondering if Cake is giving credit to the authors of two Latino songs featured in Fashion Nugget. Half of the song “Perhaps” sounds exactly like “Fernando”,a hit in Portuguese, sung by Perla about three decades ago in Brazil. The other half of “Perhaps” is of course Sera, Sera, Sera..which any Spanish speaking person is very familiar with. Makes you wonder whether the other beautiful songs in the album are “creative collages” as well..Who knows, who knows, who knows ??

Who are these guys? They would have been ‘gonged’ on The Gong Show in the 70’s. I listened to this CD at least 5 times, and I just cannot seem to find the value with these clowns. Yep, the trumpet thing is cool, and the ‘I Will Survive’ cover is neat, but the rest seems to reek of really bad ALT music. This CD is purely entertainment a-la-Dr-Demento.
I respect a lot of the ALT artists (and all the ones that have been ‘put’ there), however this is seriously taking advantage of a tenuous situation in music – does any old (…) that doesn’t sound like Springsteen fit here with many other better artists? Now that TAKES THE CAKE mate!

I bought this album for “The Distance,” an outstanding and mesmerizing song which is the only reason to give the album even two stars. Most of the other songs are awful. The lyrics are cold and repellent and the music forgettable. Don’t waste your money unless you’re a hard-core Cake fan.

These guys have taken the 90s “half singing-half talking” style to a new level: Just Talking. It is so typical for 90s rock bands to feature a vocalist who simply cannot sing, and yet we accept it just fine. MTV has really done a number on America.

Best album of the nineties.
