Best CD in my collection hands down

"You've probably heard the radio tracks: I will survive & The distance, for example. And they are great. But what this album offers is 10 or so other tracks that are genious...the horns, the lyrics, McCrea's deadpan voice...Cake's other two offerings are awesome, but this is the one that hasn't left my CD changer for 4 years. Not a bad song on the album. Check out Open Book, Stickshifts, and She'll come back..."
Another Great

"I have all the Cake albums, and I think they are all wonderful. However, despite my partiality to Prolonging the Magic, I really like this album. The songs are the weirdest (with the most bizarre lyrics) out of the four albums, but the musicality can speak to anyone. I especially like "Friend Is A Four-Letter Word" because it's so lyrically simple, but musically complex."
