Motorcade of Generosity by Cake

Pros: Classic Cake!!! Same off beat lyrics and sound stylings
Cons: Sound Can be odd sounding in some tracks

Being a lover of many different kinds of music, I purchased this before they were popular, based off of once song I heard and am so glad I did!!

This band is kind of a blend... It is almost as if the mom wanted country, dad loves horns, and...

Pros: Great songs, great lyrics.
Cons: Poor sound quality

It is a good sign when you can revisit an old album after a year and still enjoy it. This is what happened with Cake's "Motorcade of Generosity." Last night I got it out after letting it collect dust for a year. It absorbed me even more than it did...

Pros: songs to make you happy
Cons: typical first album

After...

Pros: Almost every song is enjoyable (see below), Upbeat, Unique Lyrics
Cons: Pentagram

As a thrifty person, I rarely buy CDs, because I find that once I buy one, there are only a few songs that I will actually listen to. However, I have found that with all three Cake albums, this is never the case, especially within Motorcade of...

Pros: Great debut CD, some great songs
Cons: Not all songs are winners, band hasn't fully matured at this point

Cake has enjoyed much success with their unique brand of alt-rock in recent years. After their sophomore release "Fashion Nugget," they released "Prolonging the Magic," which has been possibly their most successful album to date. Although these...
