Motorcade of Generosity

Jolene reminds me of someone but anyways good album

Classic, if you don't have any cake you need this one!!!!!

ive listened to 3 cake albums, this one, fashion nugget, and prolonging the magic, and this is the best one of those 3, it has more good songs than the others. comache is a good tune to start the cd, rock and roll lifestyle is a classic, i bombed korea is my favorite, and mr mastodon farm is a great tune, highly reccomend this album if u like cake

CAKE's first album, and it's a great start. It isn't clean and exact like Comfort Eagle. It is much more country influenced than other of their albums. It is also more raw especially in Jolene an Is This Love? Overall a solid album that any CAKE fan should own.

This is such a great album, I've given it to severel friends and they were all skeptical at first, but after hearing it they're fans now too. I can't get enough of the trumpet on "Is This Love" and I love the ironry on "You part the waters", espesially the line, "you've got your grand piano, and you don't even play piano" that's so great, who hasn't been in somebody's house and they've got a bunch of guitars and they don't even play. I also love the riffs on "Jolene" and "Ruby Sees All". Get this album, and every CAKE album, they don't disapoint.

This is the first full lengh disc from Cake... Absolutely amazing song-writing with catchy music. I've never heard anything like this record before, and doubt I will again. Album Hi-lights include Jolene - this hypnotic balllad is better live, but still extremely powerful. You Part The Waters - The Chorus hits so hard it hurts. I Bombed Korea - An ironic tune with beautiful imagery wrapped around a horific experience by the narriator.

I bought this when I saw them live in a small club. Their cd's were made locally (they had not been signed yet) and the sleeve felt like construction paper. I paid $10. I am only asking for the difference: $2.01. I'll be honest. I never loved their cd's as much as the live show. Definitley an original band with a high amount of funktaine in the live show. Once Mr. Brown left the band I began to lose interest. And after Todd Roper left, the live show suffered. Although that may have been due to a bigger venue. At any rate, this band had its moment. Buy the first 3 cds. Even if they charge 10 bucks a shot.

cake is one of the most original bands out there. buy this album, you won't regret it. plus its only 8 dollars.

This is a solid record. In my opinion, the best choice to buy. And, unfortunately, with Cake all you'll ever need is one record. Especially beginning with their third release. They all just begin to sound repetitive. Sorry guys!

Now that Cake has left the major label miasma, the band has begun reissuing lost nuggets, and this debut disc still seems fresh to me, even 15 years later. Wow time flies, but the quirky cool sounds from Sacramento don't age. The irreverant lyrics and especially that funky drumming from Todd Roper keep it all together. I do detect some sort of remastering effort that carefully clips & compresses, tweaks the treble, boosts the bass and seperates the sonics or something. Perhaps the band felt they needed to professionalize the mix a bit, and bring this recording out of the ol' school analog lo-fi loopiness that I loved the first time around. Maybe I'll have to dig out my cassette , but this will do for now.
