Thank You Happy Birthday – Cage the ElephantView More By Cage the Elephant Our ReviewOn their sophomore LP, Cage the Elephant snarl, flail and smash their way through a brace of heavy yet bouncy tracks before coming to an uneasy resting place at the album’s end. Like Kentucky-bred quintet’s debut offering, Thank You Happy Birthday owes an obvious debt to the Pixies; singer Matt Shultz’s fearsome yelps come directly from Black Francis’ manic playbook. Beyond this, the band stakes out its own territory thanks to a self-aware lyric sensibility, violent-to-delicate guitar riffage and a bipolar sense of dynamics. Schulz and his cohorts pull back from the brink of chaos by emphasizing hyper-catchy chorus hooks on tracks like “Around My Head,” “Aberdeen” and “Shake Me Down.” Dollops of speed-metal (“2024”), faux-mellow pop (“Rubber Ball”) and surf guitar-rock (”Indy Kidz”) keep the listener from getting comfortable, setting things up for the closing number “Flow,” a simmering tribal stoner jam. Shultz’s bratty, taunting vocal spews are as much directed at his own rock-star pretensions as the stupidities of the world around him.. Customer ReviewsOK..... (5 stars)First of all im gonna say that this album is a blend of 2 genres. it is psychedelic rock album/ alternative album if that makes sense. here is what i would seperate this album into if they were 2 different albums. alternative: 1:Aberdeen 2:Shake Me Down 3:2024 4:Rubber Ball 5:Right Before My Eyes 6:Japanese Buffalo 7:Flow Psychedelic rock 1:Always something 2:Indy Kids 3:2024 4:Sell Yoursel A new standard for modern rock (5 stars) Cage the Elephant's debut album was without a doubt one of the greatest entries in the rock genre in recent years. Their sound was unmistakable among all the other bands heard on the radio. CAGE THE ELEPHANT is still one of my favorite rock albums ever. Now, how could the dudes from Kentucky possibly up the ante? Well the answer is THANK YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY. At first, this album may be a little overwhelming, and you may think that yo Cage (5 stars) The only good thing about iTunes is gettin the album 2 hours before its supposed to come out. BiographyFormed: Bowling Green, KYGenre: Alternative Years Active: '00s, '10s Although chart success in England was an unlikely first step to fame for a band from Bowling Green, Kentucky, mainstream rock band Cage the Elephant achieved just that. Formed by Matt Shultz, Brad Shultz, Jared Champion, Lincoln Parish, and Daniel Tichenor, the group earned a contract with the Relentless label and released the "Free Love" single late in 2007. A support slot for the Pigeon Detectives beckoned in early 2008, and follow-up single "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" reached the Top 40 in...
