You can't help but love this CD! And the more you listen to it, the more it grows on you. There isn't a duff song on the album, and it's great fun to sing along to. One of my favourite albums of all time, and I've got lots of my friends hooked on it too. The lyrics are well written, the music is so different to anything else around at the moment, and the singer's voice is really quirky - his timing is brilliant. Great fun listening!

This Album is purely sensational, although sensational's probably not the right word. It's great anyhow and you should buy it, here are some reasons why:
1. It's like nothing you've heard before.
2. It's Rock, Funk, Latin, Country, and bits of other flavours all rolled into one.
3. You'll like it too and you'll tell all your friends about it and then write an on-line review of it like this saying how I was right.
4. The lyrics are amazing. It could take years to fully understand what they really mean. There are so many metaphors and complicated words that if John McCrea (Lead Singer) came up to you and said "hello" you'd spend half an hour trying to think about it.
5. You won't put it down. It won't fall to the back of your CD collecion. It'll always be there for you.
6. I haven't seen a single bad review of it.
7. You should read the Amazon.com reviews. The Americans can't get enough of it.
8. I'm sick of commercial bands and although you wouldn't usually associate this with Indie bands like Stereophonics etc. because their music is so different, that's just what it is.
9. It's only rock and roll but I like it.
10. Admit it you can afford it. You never know, it might become you're desert island disc.
Your birthday cake's usually gone within a week but this will last for a long long time.
Purchase.

A friend introduced me to Cake via their wonderful cover of "I Will Survive".. and I haven't looked back since. I've bought all two other albums, but this one remains my favourite. The reviews below say it all really, but for my twopennyworth they are the most aurally pleasing band I have come across for quite a while. Barely a week goes by when I don't listen to this album, and feel twice as happy for it. Kind of like a really good carrot cake. But come on guys - isn't it about time you gave us some more ?

This album is cooler than an english winter.
From start to finish this album kicks. If you don't yet own it you must get it in your CD player now.
