"This album is soooooo great!! It is the first - and best - of Cake Like's recordings. I originally picked up Bruiser Queen, their second album, after seeing Kerri Kenney (of The State fame) and her band play "Lorraine's Car" on Viva Variety, the short-lived sketch comedy/variety show in which she starred. That album was so great, I ordered this one straight from the distributor, at a whopping $38. Apparently, it's been re-released since then, lucky for you!! It is impossible to describe Cake Like's music - when they started the band, none of the three women could play an instrument, so the music is raw, and the lyrics are witty, intelligent, angry at times, ever so amusing, and great to sing along with. The vocals are so amazing, like Siouxsie Sioux meets Kate Bush meets PJ Harvey meets Juliana Hatfield. Or something. Pick this one up - I promise you will NOT be disappointed!"
I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!

"I, like the other reviewer, heard of this great band from viva variety and FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!! They are truly one of the greatest female rock bands to ever have existed. This album is excellent from begginning to end and then back again. If you have any sense at all you will buy it and then listen to it til you go insane."
