You're Soaking in It Review by Nitsuh Abebe
You're Soaking in It -- and Cheesecake's work as a whole -- brings up a few interesting gender issues. The album is a collection of gritty, noisy, sludgy rock tunes which would probably come across as overblown and stupid if a group of men were playing them -- but should the fact that Cheesecake is composed of women really make this any better? In a few very limited senses, it does -- the thrill here is about the same thrill as Team Dresch offers, just without the content or musical interest -- but to say that the band is accomplishing something by playing a rather bad sort of music that's normally played by men seems almost as misogynistic as claiming they couldn't do it in the first place.
