CAKE "fashion nugget" cd,1996.
pretty hard to describe these guys fully as they mix hip hop,funk,soul,latino,pop,rock and jazz all into one album, sometimes more than several of those genres into a single track, which at times makes it difficult to focus without getting slightly confused and inundated with the different sounds.
have three of these guys records...this one, their debut and another that has "short skirt,long jacket" on???!!!
hard to know sometimes if they are serious musicians or just lighthearted college boys taking the piss out of music!
two covers on this one...I Will Survive & Perhaps,Perhaps,Perhaps, both of which are reasonable efforts if simply for the lyric changes and alternative beats.
nothing bad on here, but at the same time nothing great neither....just a steady album of fourteen tracks i like...thus the rating comes out at an even 2.0, strangely enough allmusic rate this one 4/5 (2.4)...i wouldnt go as far as that, but hey....who am i?!
below are several links to tracks from here to give you an idea about the album....
