bigideas Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 http://cake.hasawebstore.com/ Any fans of the band, Cake? They finally announced the follow-up to 2004's Pressure ChiefShowroom of Compassion I got out Prolonging the Magic today. I have never been a fan of Alpha Beta Parking Lot and there is something weird about Never There going transitioning into Guitar, so I was thinking, drop ABPL altogether and switch Guitar to track 6 as so: Prolonging the Magic revised Side 11. Satan is My Motor2. Mexico3. Never There4. You Turn the Screws5. Walk on By6. Guitar Side 27. Sheep Go to Heaven8. When You Sleep9. Hem of Your Garment10.Let Me Go11.Cool Blue Reason12.Where Would I Be? the fade out of Never There transitions great into the beginning of Screws.Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I dig the Cake. They are one of those fun bands you never absolutely love, but enjoy from time to time.. Always sure to bring a smile to your face. I'll pick it up for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Prolonging the Magic is one of those rare perfect albums to me. everything about it is beautiful. I haven't listened to anything else by the band but may pick up their new one when it is released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Somnambulist Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Love this band as well. Looking forward to 01/11. I tend to go through phases where all I listen to is Cake for a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigideas Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I got my autographed pre-order end of last week and it comes out officially tomorrow. I'm pleasantly surprised with it. Somehow they have managed to not stray too terribly far from their trademark sound, yet it doesn't feel redundant. I don't know if it was intentional, or because they may have had less $ for mastering, etc, but the mix sounds kinda buried. You can hear little things going on, but they're not in the forefront like prior albums. The last one had a few songs that sounded "cutesy" to me, but this one is pretty devoid of that.

Moss Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Cake will be on Jimmy Fallon this Wednesday (January 12th). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 giving the album a proper listen now and I like the way it sounds. I think I was reading some reviews on itunes and everyone is saying how this one sounds so unlike Cake but it sounds exactly like Cake to me. kinda slightly deviates a little bit but not a lot.
