While artists like Beck and Radiohead see every new album as an opportunity for reinvention from the ground up, Cake has no such hang-ups. From the uniformly rustic cover art, the jerky rhythms and wobbly trumpet solos, each of Sacramento band's albums is reassuringly interchangeable. But on its fifth, the group's most distinguishing characteristic--John McCrea's deadpan, detached vocals--seems to have been given a makeover. On songs such as "No Phone" and "Tougher Than It Is" for the first time the singer seems, well, like he's actually trying to sing. It's nothing dramatic--the music will still sound immediately familiar to those who even in passing have heard hits such as "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" and "The Distance"--but with certain bands a little goes a long way. --Aidin Vaziri

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Cake at its worst [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This CD sucks. No matter how manty times I listen to it, I cant find anything to like about it.2) A huge let-down [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Ive loved most all of Cakes' songs on everyalbum and if I didnt love it then it was at least Ok. Ive tried my hardest to appriciate this album but after 3 attempts Ive lost hope for it. If you like Cake and cant find yourself liking the songs right away dont waste your time trying to lie to yourself.3) Tastiest CAKE yet! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I am a CAKE junkie - have all their albums - catch any show I can - eagerly await new releases. Pressure Chief was cranked from day one, and I still test the amps in my car with it. Wheels is such a hot arrangement, as are numerous other tunes on here. My wife used to hate CAKE, but this album actually pulled her in because John is a bit more melodic now. "No Phone" got her. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews! Crank this baby and I mean often!4) Pressure Chief - More Good Stuff from Cake [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Another excellent effort from the boys of Sacramento. Nice to see them bring back a little country twang and swang that was missing on their last CD (Comfort Eagle). Cover of Guitar Man is great, and I can't believe it did not garner radio play. This CD has many elements of Fashion Nugget and Prolonging the Magic type songs and will not dissappoint Cake fans at all.5) probably the best thing ive heard in my life [Rating: 5 out of 5]
a new evolved sound for CAKE. i wont say its better or worse than the old stuff but its new and exciting. this album rocks the socks off of any other non-CAKE CD i've listened to in my life. possibly the best CAKE one too
