Pretty Good Album Jan 21, 2009 I just started with Cake and I do like this album. I'm not sure how it compares to their other albums but it is pretty entertaining and I love the covers. They are actually very good.
Cakalicious Dec 16, 2008 This amazing album surprised me in that it contains a wide variety of different sounds and styles for the band. The band covers songs from Black Sabbath to Barry White and keep it REAL. A true necessity for any Cake-lover. Wow!
Mediocre Oct 10, 2008 I've been a big fan for a number of years and this album is a bit mediocre. A couple of the covers are fantastic but as an album it is just average.

One of my favorite bands--blows it big time. Sep 14, 2008 I don't know whether they've run out of ideas, they're hard up on cash, or WHAT the exact explanation is here, but after three years between the release of "Pressure Chief" and this "thing", I expected a LOT more from what I consider to easily be one of my top five bands.
Don't pay over eight bucks for this album because you're not really even getting an album. With two instrumental tracks, several covers (none of them fantastic) and a god-awful rendition of the muppet's "Mahna Mahna", this collection simply didn't deserve a retail release, and I feel ripped off. I should have just gone with my gut after listening to the previews at Barnes and Noble. You also get two unnecessary, crappier-sounding, early versions of "Short Skirt Long Jacket" and "It's Coming Down". If anything, these tracks seem thrown in just to pad the unbelievably short length of this release.
After the serviceable but minor let-down of the 11-tracked "Pressure Chief", I was really hoping that Cake would step it up to the greatness of their best album "Fashion Nugget" again. Cake has yet to even show ANY indication that they have the creativity left in them to produce anything worthwhile.
With three years (on average) between the releases of their albums, they'd better not be counting this turd, thinking they can rest on their laurels til 2010.

Another Beauty Jun 30, 2008 Cake has always delivered a creative sound and a unique production. I fell in love with them all over again with this album. It's refreshing to hear a band develop. Anyone who appreciates Cake's funky brand of sound will undoubtly be pleased.
