Artist: Cake
Album: Showroom of Compassion
Label: Upbeat
Release Date: 11th January 2011
Rating: 4.5 / 5
Crunchy guitars and political mockery open up this fine album from the quirky group that have been together for some 20+ years. "Teenage Pregnancy" is a gloomy, tenuous track- perhaps appropriately titled. The very snappy "Sick of You" follows the gloom with a playful tale of simply wanting to fly away, love lost being the theme here. Always twisting lyrics that envelope themselves creates a fantastic musical voyage here. "Italian guy" adds a funky, bouncy string arrangement. Lots of horns and seemingly odd instruments cover almost every track, just a wonderful array of aural adversity. Great album with wicked fun lyrics and my only complaint is that it only has eleven tracks, just not enough Cake to satiate this appetite.
