AlMSep 23, 2009Critics are only critics because they lack the talent to be musicians. Ignore them at all times.

KimberlyS.Jul 27, 2009I agree with stephanie h, you said it sista! I think this band is awesome, let Matt say what's on his mind, so what!? If you don't like it, don't listen. Opinions are like A$$ holes, everybody's got one.

GeoffCSep 3, 2009Of course I heard their single "Ain't no Rest for the Wicked" on the radio. I downloaded the CD and was not disappointed ! The best way I can think to describe their sound is classic rock with blues, funk, and jazz thrown in. One of the best CD's I've heard in a long time.

Jul 30, 2013This album is made up of songs that will satisfy you on the first and thirtieth listen, providing you are a fan of classic rock. However a mark has to be taken off for having the mental age of 7. But move past the questionable singing and lyrics, this is a great album. 8.5/10

Dec 15, 2014I understand that the music we're saturated with today causes critics to be misled on what good music is. I can take the song and transpose it into a playable arrangement. Check. It has a base rhythm for all of the components of the song. Check. It is pleasing to listen to. Check. Critics are wrong about this band going nowhere. Check.

Jan 10, 2015This record spills out relentless track after track. It may get old after a while but you will leave feeling like a true punk rocker. Cage the elephant at their rowdiest.

Mar 12, 2018The self-titled and first album by the band Cage the Elephant, brings a new kind of alternative rap indie rock music. With politics lyrics and a powerful guitar, the album is not all about the 4 singles ("Free Love", "In Yout Ear", "Ain't No Rest For the Wicked" and "Back Against the Wall"), all the records have your own story and show us the face of this awesome band.

Nov 16, 2010It's just a fun album. A groovy sound with some decent musicians, it's an album that can be enjoyed upon first listen and whenever you want to listen to something that gets you moving along with the songs.

Jan 20, 2011Saw these guys at summerfest in Milwaukee. Have no doubt this band is great and puts on an unbelievable show with so much passion.Do not just judge the band on "Wicked" which is a good track but the entire cd will blow you away.

Oct 13, 2013One of the best latest bands of all time, truly amazing riffs and great vocals with hammering drums and breezy bass, The album is a true mix of blues,rock,grunge and indie just such an amazing album, downside probably the fact that the after a while the album get tedious and repetitive

May 4, 2021It’s a really fun album, still very young and less refined than their other later works. It’s very “garage-rocky”, however it’s a little repetitive but cohesive.
-
Nov 9, 2012It's definitely scattershot, but there's some good stuff here.

Cage the Elephant didn't exist until 2005, but as this self-titled album demonstrates, their ability to be influenced by alternative rock and classic rock simultaneously is a definite plus.
-
The group's self-titled debut shows that it has more than one flashy single to offer.
-
It’s a fatal flaw that rears itself again and again as a bastardised version of blue-collar Americana is force-fed a mass-produced strain of bland modern rock throughout all eleven tracks.
