Both familiar and new.
-
Cake and Pie suffers from the preciousness and antiseptic production that hampered Loeb in the past.
-
Loeb slides into head-scratching silliness, but not often enough to deflate a surprisingly good Cake and Pie.
-
As a singer, she remains pleasant and confident, but not so unique or fiery that she burns into the synapses as well as the best storytelling songwriters do.
-
She fails to bake any new ideas, leaving us with the same old sad love songs and confused-girl anthems that the Texas torchbearer has always churned out.
-
There are tracks on Cake and Pie that suggest Loeb might have been a badass had she realized herself when boofy bangs and women with lightning-bolt guitars were defining pop.
-
BlenderThough Loeb can weave a pleasant, elaborate melody, her originality wavers. [Apr/May 2002, p.115]
