About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Cake's attempt to make a smug- and irony-free album, the band's third release does hold back the barbs a bit more than usual, even if they do fall back into familiar territory: postmodern takes on postmodern life. Flipping between earnest alt-rock rhythms and jittery, funky jazz, Prolonging the Magic works best when Cake lay on the irony extra heavy, or when they make their sober ambitions mesh slightly with the type of smart-ass pop they've based a career on (like "Never There"). At least they seem to realize their place in the alt-rock universe as a novelty band with chops, counteracting the genre's overwhelming seriousness with a light dose of heavy-handed yuks. Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide

March 22, 2003: One of the very, very best albums of the nineties. Every song a triumph of substance over style (or is it the other way around?). No musical genre is left untouched; it took this bunch of punks from Sacramento to create the most truly authentic country music of the last twenty five years. Give "Walk on by" forty listenings and you won't be able to wait for the forty-first. Easily Cake's best overall effort.
