A band which talks about making popular music!
Track Two Long Time: This is not just popular music, it is music which Cake hope will be popular and I think it isâ¦â¦..Their approach is clever and memorable, they know what they are doing and are meeting their achievement targets handsomely.
Track Three Got To Move: Slower track, rhyming lyric , mesmeric guitar all combines to give a good affect.
Track Four What âs Now Is Now: This is a cover version of a song done by Frank Sinatra on the album âWatertownâ , it as written by Bob Gaudio and Jake Holmes. Funny, this is a fair version but the Watertown album is a complete concept and this seems a little like a fish out of water.
Track Five, Mustache Man ( Wasted ) We move to a heavier sound, an interesting and memorable riff. There is something a little avant gard about this track.
Track Six Teenage Pregnancy: Pseudo âMoonlight Sonataâ starts this track, it sounds rather like something Alice Cooper might have written if he had had timeâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.
Track Seven Sick Of You : I guess this band have a sense of humour. Not a bad track either!
Track Eight Easy To Crash: Another good track with a simple vocal ,based around one riff and a simple keyboard technique.
Track Nine Bound Away: An old fashioned Irish feel song, I liked the slide guitar , reminded me of The Pogues.
Track Ten The Winter: A song about the Winter which had a good lyric and a good style, however, I had the feeling that we were imitating someone to make some sort of point or as a joke.
Track Eleven Italian Guy : Story in a song with classical orchestration, a comfortable song which is easy to like.
An interesting band who seem to experiment with many types of approach.

Was able to listen to this one.
Just made my buy mark.
Like the sparse use of the horns, never overpowering.
Country flavored Bound Away was my fav.

great album - I've just downloaded the back catalogue, I didn't realise how extensive this was so might take me quite a while to get through!
