Details: Review…[N]o track goes the distance like their 1996 novelty hit « The Distance. » Proceed with caution, unless your quirk quotient has been magically prolonged. –Entertainment WeeklyAmazon.caA kinder, gentler Cake? You’d never know it from listening to the opening track, a ditty with the rather unconventional title « Satan Is My Motor. » But the truth is, most ofProlonging the Magic finds the Sacramento, California, quintet toning down the arch commentary of tracks such as « Rock and Roll Lifestyle » and « The Distance » from albumsMotorcade of Generosity andFashion Nugget. In its place is straight-ahead observational songwriting on « Alpha Beta Parking Lot » and « Guitar, » and the naked, if still quirky, relationship commentaries « Where Would I Be? » and « Walk on By. » Not to worry: The group’s trademark humor is still in place on « You Turn the Screws » and « Sheep Go to Heaven, » while touches of steel guitar and musical saw expand their already unusual sonic palette. As the title suggests, Cake seems capable of prolonging the magic a while longer.–Daniel Durchholz
