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

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.… Expand

With politics lyrics andThe 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.… Expand

   Cage the Elephant's debut album is ambitious, colorful, and bold. With hit tracks like "Back Against the Wall," "In One Ear," and "Ain't NoCage the Elephant's debut album is ambitious, colorful, and bold. With hit tracks like "Back Against the Wall," "In One Ear," and "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked," lead singer Matt Shultz brings a chillingly emotional vocal essence to the track. On softer tracks such as "Lotus" and "Judas," the lyrical intensity remains, while still maintaining deep themes of love and mental health. These vocals blend gorgeously with the post-grunge alternative instrumental accompaniment, which is extremely reminiscent of the likes of The Pixies. In my opinion, this remains Cage the Elephant's most unique and resonant album to date.… Expand

   Tolerable only if you're into G. Love-style rap-rock--and even if that's your favorite genre, you'll know it's been done Tolerable only if you're into G. Love-style rap-rock--and even if that's your favorite genre, you'll know it's been done before (better, in fact). If they don't start playing Cage the Elephant on the generic rock stations real soon, then I'll agree to eat my boot. They work on some level as an entertaining live group, but the record itself is flavorless and weak. The self-titled album falls flat somewhere in the middle when Matt Shultz's vocals and the lyricality start to grow old, making each song seem like a carbon copy of the track before. They open for Silversun Pickups on their upcoming tour.… Expand
