For all of you who had forgotten about the greatest band named after a desert, they've released a new album. Yes, I'm talking about Cake. They've been doing what they do for 20 years now, and over those 20 years the band has put out 7 albums. Before the new one, Showroom of Compassion, the last one Cake released was Pressure Chief, in 2004. John McCrea's monotone vocals are well thought out, in his classic monotone singing voice. The complexity of Xan McCurdy's guitar riffs in cunjunction with the clever trumpet-playing Vince DiFiore make Cake, Cake. To me, "Sick of You" is a little dissapointing, though. It's classic Cake material, but something is missing. I guess not every song can be "The Distance".
