i only found out about this Album by accident - Must have missed that Cake news letter, Some great covers and Reworks of thier own Material - I love Mah namana - War Pigs & Ruby

Could Possibly have had more tracks, i do like the scratch n sniff though - Dont know if Amazon are selling that version - Check out the cake website see if they still are

A mix of covers, live versions and a couple of their own non-album tracks makes this a very enjoyable listen. It is quirky, instantly catchy and interesting to see what they do with the cover tracks. If you like Cake, you certainly won't be disappointed - if you don't know them, maybe try one of the other albums first.

Nice companion 27 Oct 2007
By E. DeCota - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Cake is a band that doesn't break a whole lot of new ground. The production values have gone up significantly since their Motorcade days, but the overall sound is much unrefined, at least in spirit. This album is a collection of B-sides, meaning if you have done your homework, you should have heard most or all of this before. It contains almost entirely material that was not included on previous studio albums, and then a few live cuts. I really like their version of 'Strangers in the Night' as well as 'Subtract One Love (Multiply the Heartaches). Also notable are 'War Pigs' and 'Conroy' for some good instrumentation. Also it has a alternate take of one of my favorites 'It's Coming Down.' I will say again, most of this stuff you can find in other places but is fun nonetheless.

There are some live cuts that in my opinion, add very little to the album. 'Short Skirt' is a song I was tired of the first time i heard it, and 'War Pigs' is unecessary, even considering the Flaming Lips cameo. A studio take and a live take together on one collection is filler to me.

So I dunno buy the album if you like cake. Its not expensive. It's good. The liner notes smell nice.

I like it, but not a ton.. 4 Jun 2008
By William Hoffknecht - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
So I love Cake and have been waiting for this release for a long time, but I was sort of disappointed when I finally got it.

I like some of the covers, those are cool, but really, there is not much substance on this disc.

If you are Cake fans, pick it up because this is the first truly indie release by Cake since they got away from a horible record company and I will always support them, but if you are not that big of a fan, this is not a needed disc.

Not A-Sides, But Collectively Worthwhile 16 Nov 2007
By Robert Szarka - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
In addition to rarities and live versions of their own songs, Cake covers artists as diverse as Black Sabbath, Johnny Darrell, Piero Umiliani, Buck Owens, Frank Sinatra, George Jones, and Barry White! Depending on your perspective, the good or bad news is that all the tracks end up sounding like Cake. But, while Cake doesn't transform any of these songs into something truly new (like Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" or Fountains of Wayne's "Baby, One More Time"), the covers aren't parodies, either. It all adds up to a surprisingly credible Cake album, and I'd recommend it to any of their fans.
