I remember when this album came out, i heard the distance on the radio about one million times and eventually i bought the Cd. and then it sat on my shelf until one day in an effort to listen to some thing new, i just poped it in and played it from start to finish. I was subsequently blown away. i couldn't believe my ears, the was that they took rock and added real emothin and horns in a very unska-like way was awesome, this whole album is fantastic, from frank sinatra to sad songs, if you like cake then you should have this album, it is very similar to their current stuff, but more stripped down and somehow better.
