The distinctive trumpet of Vince Di Fiore and Gabriel Nelson's masterful bass guitar are still here, although not necessarily better than ever. It just wouldn't be Cake without them. Cake's songs are becoming more structured, almost as if they have invested in songwriting lessons from the Beatles. As Cake appeals...
