Well ladies and gents -we must admit that being Cake must be a difficult job. Especially if your previous musical attempts were nothing less than fantastic. I've heard a lot of flak towards Cake because of this new CD. "They've lost the western sound", "out of good ideas", etc. You can do one of two things - you can buy this album and listen to the ever-evolving musical whole grain goodness that is Cake, or you can listen to the "others". We MUST admit that being Cake must be a difficult job. We Must. But they've done it again. Do you think YOU could create long-lasting musical success as they have? Why argue? Buy this CD, check it out. Unless you're afraid of the evolving genius. Rock on, Cake.
