The Cake Discography Thread

I never cared for these guys because of "The Distance." It was an ok song but I never actually liked it. I think I disliked it at some point. Anyway, I've heard the other singles and always thought "Never There" was a really good song but I never bothered to check out an album because I was always thinking stuff would be like "The Distance." I guess I was wrong in thinking that, based on your post. There's another song I've heard, something about "I want a girl..." this and that, don't know the name. Anyway, that one's nice too. So maybe I should check them out at some point.
 
Nice to see a new addition to this. You’re right on about the consistency. I personally have a soft spot for Prolonging the Magic, and it’s likely due to the ease of it…

Good work... and I’m curious about your thoughts on Pressure Chief… guess I’ll be on the lookout.
 
awesome thread

Satan Is My Motor is one of my Top 25 all time favorite songs and along with "Shot Down In Flames" (ac/dc) and "Purple Haze" (hendrix) one of my three personal theme songs in life.

big ups to all Cake fans
 
Yeah, I actually have planned to up a few, I just forget which site makes that hella easy. PM me and I'll get them to you.

And anyone else...
 
I love cake. Jesus wrote a blank check is the best song on that first album ( in my opinion).
Cool thread.:)


The distance is probably the most boring song they've ever written (well, next to sheep go to heaven).
 
I love CAKE alot, but aside from a few stand out tracks, I get burnt out on them easily.

Regardless, great reviews, makes me want to go back and listen to all the albums in order now.
 
Just giving this a listen now and I'm quite impressed. To me it's got this easygoing vibe which doesn't sacrifice the intricacies of a bunch of very well-written songs. It's early days, but my favourites would be Jolene, Jesus Wrote a Blank Check and Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle.

Very interesting album, and even more so if it doesn't really set a precedent to the rest of their discography as you say.
 
Well i'm glad you took something from it. Stick around and sound off. Unless work becomes a nightmare, Fashion Nuggest should be going up today.



Hey now, Sheep go to Heaven is a hell of a sing-a-long. Once I finish the proper albums, I'll be reviewing auxillery things like Live Shows and their Unlimited Sunshine Tour. My goal is to have a thread where in you can get any information about the band you might want.

And if theres anything people are looking to get a review on, anything from a singular song to the music scene in Sacramento at the time, PM me and let me know.

Well its not going to go from that to sounding like The Cure, or anything, but you're going to get a lot more "Ruby Sees All" and not a lot of Pentagram.

Prolonging the Magic should be up today, but again, thats barring work.
 
Quite a while back I lost about 2000 songs in the process of moving them all to my external hard drive and, unfortunately, all the contents of Motorcade Of Generosity were among them. That was about 4 or 5 months ago, and I kinda forgot about them 'til recently. I do remember being impressed with it though (I seem to remember mentioning that somewhere in this thread as well). I've got quite a bit of new music on my plate at the minute, but seeing this updated's reminded me I need to dig around Cake's back-catalogue a bit more, so cheers for that.

Good job with the thread as well - some great reaRAB in here.
 
6 if you count B-Sides and Rarities. It has a few songs from the other albums but it also has some new stuff. And actually, I'm usually not too much into covers but this album contains the best live recording of War Pigs I've ever heard. The album starts with the studio version and enRAB with the live recording of War Pigs. :)
 
the one and only song i've heard from them was "short skirt/long jacket". i heard it from the movie "waitress" soundtrack. i fell in love with the song, looked it up on the internet and added it on my ipod. any other good tracks from them that you'd like to recommend?
 
Just found this thread, thank you for the reviews big3. Cake played a big part in getting me into alternative rock back in elementary/middle school, they've been with me or a while. I cannot believe how many people on here haven't heard of Cake, I thought they were more popular. They're one of a pretty small group of alternative banRAB that I listen to that at least get some radio play. I never saw this thread before though and I enjoyed your reviews.
