FASHION NUGGET is a smorgasboard of an album, with elements of country, lounge, classic rock, Merseybeat, R&B and funk, and Cake plays it all with a large dose of humor and irony. Employing funky bass lines, scratchy guitars, a trumpet that is part Dean Martin and part "Macarena," and squelched, distanced vocals that sound like they're coming from a deserted AM radio station, the California band traverses the history of American popular music as if in an endless search for found objects for its postmodern jokes. Seemingly silly lyrics about Frank Sinatra, race cars and Italian leather sofas form a sardonic commentary on middle Americana. Cake pulls off this cultural experiment with a significant amount of poise, making an entertaining and fun record that also contains a serious critical undercurrent.

Explicit Lyrics

Recorded at Pus Cavern and Paradise Studios, Sacramento, California.

Cake: John McCrea (vocals, acoustic guitar, organ); Greg Brown (electric guitar, organ); Vincent Di Fiore (trumpet, percussion); Victor Damiani (bass); Todd Roper (drums, percussion).

Additional personnel: Greg Vincent (pedal steel guitar).

5 stars 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!

5 stars 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.

3 stars 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.

Like its creator's freewheeling songwriting process, ODELAY is a monument to wondrously precise pastiche. It's a glowing junkyard of musical styles, absurdist images, distorted samples, postmodern anti-emotions, you name it. Over the course of his three previous albums, Beck tinkered with more traditions and aesthetic approaches than an average cultural-studies professor sees in a career: hip-hop beats, acoustic folk-blues, indie-punk guitar squalls, DIY production, commercial ...

Cake Comfort Eagle CD  (2001)

Fashion Nugget album
CD $8.99  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
John McCrea's off-key, languid half-rap, half-croon rambles over horn-laden indie-rock and crashes into Mariachi-band melodies while he dashes off less patently goofy than off-kilter lyrics such as "with fingernails that shine like justice." It's a formula that doesn't sound like a sure success for one album, let alone a slew, yet COMFORT EAGLE would bring Sacramento band Cake's total to four overwhelmingly catchy albums over six years. Perhaps due to the pop crossover of singles like "The Distance" and ...

This special limited edition release of THICK AS A BRICK - 25TH ANNIVERSARY contains one previously unreleased live track and interviews with Ian Anderson, Martin Barre and Jeffrey Hammond. This edition of THICK AS A BRICK contains a bonus live track and interview. While never as high-minded or technically facile as the likes of Yes or ELP, Tull began incorporating complex time changes, sophisticated harmonic structures, and highly developed lyrical themes on THICK AS A BRICK, the realization of the artistic growth begun on AQUALUNG. It is here that Tull finally bursts into full-blown prog-rock mode. While AQUALUNG was a group of discrete compositions united by a theme, THICK AS A BRICK consists of one extended piece that occupies the length of the album. Lyrically, Anderson's intentions are a bit obscure here, but the sophisticated arrangements and virtuoso performances are enough to carry the show. John Evan's piano and organ are at the heart of this complex piece, which moves through an endless succession of tempos, moods, and modes in a manner similar to vintage Genesis or the aforementioned Yes, but with a grittier edge. Most importantly, ...
