Sounding like a suburban, melodic, white funk-injected version of King Missile's performance art/standup comedy, "The Distance" became a novelty hit in the fall of 1996, sending Cake's second album, Fashion Nugget, to platinum status. Certainly, "The Distance" was the only reason Fashion Nugget went platinum, because the remainder of the album is too collegiate and arcane for mainstream music tastes. It isn't because it's obscure or intellectual -- it's because the band is smirking. An "ironic" cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is the key to the album, sending the signal that nothing is too insignificant to make fun of. Their blend of collegiate musical styles -- funk, hip-hop, alternative rock -- makes the music easy to digest in small doses, such as "The Distance." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Endless Listening
This is Cake's best album, by FAR! It is an easy listen, and you can play it for hours and hours without getting tired of hearing it. It's just classic. Great sound, lyrics, and personality. I love it! If you like Cake, you need this album. Actually, even if you don't like Cake, you need this album. It is just THAT good!

Great CD
This CD rules. It is funny and rockin'. They are not afraid to experiment-- they have a trumpet player, and a country twang. How many bands can pull that off? It makes them sound different from everyone else. I especially like "Stickshifts and Safetybelts" The lyrics are great, they go so well with the music. They do an awesome cover of the disco song "I will survive" I have had this album for a long time and I am still not sick of it. It's a classic.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  well done
this is an excellent cd. The lead singer's voice is not monotone so much as selectively expressive and it works because much of the riffs and melodies are subtle. But when he does become expressive, he does with an irony that magically creates harmonious discord, much like "The Distance." Great investment for any music lover.
