    Comfort Eagle is infinitely smarter, smarmier and catchier than Weezer's Green Album. [Oct 2001, p.79]

    John McCrea's sense of subversion skates on the thin ice of their self-belittling grooves without ever quite toppling. [Jan 2002, p.131]

    And the songs are catchy, yes. Just not so catchy that you're already singing along with them the first time you hear them.

    I think this album is dignified and pretty, especially pretty pink ribbon. The baritone part was awesome!

    This is CAKE's worst album, by far. I am a big fan, and I really like all their albums except this one. The songs on Comfort Eagle just lack the kind of hooks we normally hear from CAKE, and I get bored listening to it (which I can't say about any of their other work). Also, this version of Short Skirt Long Jacket isn't as good as the one on B-sides and Rarities. Save yourself the trouble, get B-Sides instead of this. Trust me.… Expand
