Some bands find success and then kind of stop.

They have their sound and they’re sticking to it.

Cake is one such band. With its fifth album, “Pressure Chief,” the group affirms, once again, its resistance to an overload of change.

Full of easy hooks and economical funk beats, the release contains a number of fun, sardonic songs – just like past Cake endeavors.

The upbeat “Carbon Monoxide” proves that lead vocalist John McCrea still has the ability to write simple but wry lyrics, and the Bread cover “The Guitar Man” nearly matches “I Will Survive” from “Fashion Nugget.”

“Dime,” an electronic-heavy track with ultra-repetitive vocals, gets the distinction of being the worst song on “Pressure Chief.”

This all is not to say that Cake has made no changes. McCrea actually sings, and synthesizers and samples take the lead over the now low-key guitars and drums.

But this isn’t enough to start a Cake revolution. The brevity of this 36-minute release doesn’t help Cake look like a musical workhorse, either.

“Pressure Chief” shows that producing semi-catchy almost-hits is a piece of cake.
