[CRAZY-HORSE]

CAKE "comfort eagle" cd, 2001

career stats:
studio albums........6
singles.................19

this album: #13 US, #28 AU, #64 CAN

singles:
"short skirt/long jacket"............#124 US, #44 AU, #63 CAN
"arco arena"............................no charted entry
"love you madly"......................no charted entry

this is the fourth studio set by these guys...
their material is often tongue-in-cheek,light and almost poppy, slightly sarcastic and very catchy in places...
its strange that my favourite and least favourite tracks were both issued as singles...
i guess the UK cant find anything to associate with these guys because they simply do not have a market out there...
my favourite track has a simple guitar riff and simple lyrics but it is exremely catchy...
i first saw that track on MTV back in the day,they used to play in every hour on the hour(or so it seemed)....
it doesnt matter though, because its a cool song with a slight Lou Reed feel(in fact, first time i heard it i thought it may have been Reed on 'helium')LMAO!
all up, not a bad album,doest take many brain cells to tune in to this one, which is good when you just want simplistic music on.
