Review

Hey there, music lovers! Let's chat about CAKE's 'Fashion Nugget' - a delicious slice of 90s alternative rock that still tastes fresh today. Picture this: it's 1996, and CAKE drops this funky, genre-bending album that's part rock, part funk, with sprinkles of country, jazz, and even Latin vibes. It's like they threw a party and invited every musical style they could think of!

The album's got some real earworms, you know? 'The Distance' raced up the charts, hitting number 4 on the US Alternative Airplay Chart and even made it to 22 in the UK. And their cover of 'I Will Survive'? Talk about giving new life to a classic! But don't sleep on gems like 'Frank Sinatra' and 'Stickshifts and Safetybelts' - they're the kind of tracks that'll have you humming for days.

'Fashion Nugget' isn't just a catchy title - it's a gold and platinum certified success story. The RIAA gave it the golden stamp of approval in '96, and by '97, it had gone platinum. That's a million copies, folks! It's no wonder this album is considered a cornerstone of CAKE's discography and a shining example of 90s alternative rock. If you haven't given it a spin yet, trust me, you're in for a treat! - Brynn
