Reading these comments, I reiterate the point I made about Cake's music a few summers ago. The aim of their music, in my opinion, is to show that humankind is a depressing life form that does nothing more than bow to the whims of their biological urges and since we are incapable of growing beyond them we need to be destroyed. Sounds high and might and all Christian-y I know, but how else would a person describe the aim of Cake's music? The songs are flagrantly intellectual and cryptic to no end, and it takes some serious minds to unweave the underlying meanings. That my opinion anyway.

And I still love Cake now as I did back then.
