CAKE - Comfort Eagle (Album) REACTION

[@KevinKaffy]

Comfort Eagle(title track) has got to be one of the coolest tunes I have ever heard. Lyrics are also really clever 👏

[@patrickbocchino1429]

I've heard most of these songs but never listened to the whole album, awesome reaction. love they're funk/rock sound with very well timed horns haha. very sarcastic lyrics. big fan.

Their second album, "Fashion Nugget" is great, and I absolutely love "It's Coming Down" from there. Also "The Distance" from there is amazing.

[@David-pz5ip]

I love your reaction to this album! Cake is so unique.

❤️🙏🤘❤️

I've been following these guys since before their first album. It's wonderful to share your reactions. Most people don't listen to all the intricacies. At the same time they have great hooks to have pop success. I have known John since he was about 10.

“Short Skirt Long Jacket” was the intro theme to the popular show “Chuck” starring Zachary Levi aka Shazam

Haven't listened to Cake in forever, great band!

[@johnzimmer3757]

They just played live in Des Moines. Didn't get to see them, live outdoors. I find a new favorite song every album.

[@Aphonydissent]

Commissioning a Shyphony In C sounds a bit like a Grandaddy song now that I look back.

[@earthboundmother205]

This album is a gift to humanity. And if you get to Comfort Eagle, you already know too much. Cheers!

[@murdockreviews]

And so I got treated to finally listen to a full-length Cake album 😁 Great review/discussion/listening party! The recognition moment on "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" - priceless.

Several of their songs were in movie soundtracks.

Shallow Hal, classic

[@dystar112]

Love this albumn...

[@aspringwind]

The Opera Singer also has a more personal meaning of John being famous to this scale. It describes his role in the role of famous singer and composer.

[@mickymoist]

Cake and Ween do have shared fans indeed. My only complaint with Cake from album to album is that their songs sound a lot alike... constantly. With little to no variance tonally. And this from someone that's been on the Cake bandwagon since Rock 'n Roll Lifestyle was played constantly on 93.7 The Edge in Minnesota back in 94.

[@marcuswall3857]

Rubbish. Everything from rap to country and western to pop to covers. Crap comment. Get some ears .... Or some taste.

[@marcuswall3857]

Who wants people talking over this brilliant music?

[@WelpHereWeAreOnYouTube]

No idea. Glad we didn’t

[@chriskoking]

Dude on bottom looks like Courtney Taylor-Taylor of the Dandy Warhols

[@davidn5269]

Though I enjoy Cake, I think their biggest hits feature the qualities that most annoy me about them, and it’s the deeper cuts that have kept me coming back well into adulthood. If you subtract the huge hits they seem a lot less like a novelty band. They do have a few gems among their less popular singles, and I hope to see you guys get to them on some other albums. Prolonging the Magic and Fashion Nugget are really fun records.

[@aspringwind]

Pretty Pink Ribbons.......John had three sisters and he was the oldest child.

[@Gymbo-Baggins]

Arco arena should flow right into comfort eagle then it makes sense,then you can hear the flow of the Arco right over the top.

[@BillBowdish]

You guys should listen to Brownout presents Brown Sabbath, great take on Black Sabbath. They are a latin-funk band from Austin - lots of horns and cool percussions. If you wanted a shorter version, watch their video here on KZbin live at KEXP in Seattle.

[@Swoost]

Can you guys pls react to Pressure Chief? Its my favorite album and i dont think anyone has on youtube yet

[@joshuatiffany5594]

Have you guys done Phish’s “You Enjoy Myself? Their version on their live album, A live One is by far the best vocal jam.

[@mickymoist]

The peak of Cakes fame would be 1996-1998. You'd know The Distance more than likely if you knew any Cake. Or maybe Rock n' Roll Lifestyle. It's odd that they've started you out near the end of Cakes fame and not at the beginning. This album was 10 years after their peak fame. Cake got less poppy and overall better after their fame started fading.

[@jayclean5653]

10 years? If their peak ended in 98 then this was 3 years later.
