I wasn't sure what to think of these guys when I heard their first single quite a while back, thought they'd be quite good. But after their new one (in that first post) I'm not so sure. Too indie.

I really like them, their kinda like the Arctic Monkeys sometimes. They have grown on me the last few weeks. Matt Shultz has something about him that i like.

Good Band.

For those who havn't heard of them take a listen of "In One Ear! and "Ain't No Rest (for the wicked) "

Damn. Lack of posts for a top band. Pretty consistent album and agree with the comment about the Racounteurs feel they have, which can only be a good thing.

"Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" is played quite often on the local rock radio station here and I like it a lot. I'll definitely check out more of their music.

Ain't No Rest For The Wicked is a great indie rock track but having given the album a play-through on Spotify and having caught half their set at the Dot-To-Dot Festival in Bristol I can't say I'm sold on the band.

What they do - high energy, verging on shambolic indie rock reminiscent of The Raconteurs and The Arctic Monkeys - they do well. But over the length of the album I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. The Raconteurs and The Artic Monkeys are great bands because of how smart they are lyrically and the depth and variety in the song writing, two things which are lacking in Cage The Elephant's debut album.

Don't get me wrong, they're a solid band, just nothing special personally speaking.

Every time I fire up borderlands I hear that horrible, horrible song.

Never heard of 'em til Borderlands, and now I just think they're fantastic haha. Songs are a bit samey, but still damn good.

Haha. I was so happy that they were on that commercial. They are a pretty good band. But that song has been ruined.

I liked "No Rest For the Wicked" but it took a couple listens before I really liked it. Then I heard "In One Ear" and that sold me. Great song.

I was actually listening to them when I found this thread. Crazy.

Cage the Elephant is truely a great band and has a bright future ahead of them!

And on another note my friend brought up that cage the elephant sounds alot like Beck anyone agree with that?

Back Against The Wall is still an appealing track. I quite enjoy that one a lot more than Ain't No Rest For The Wicked. I've heard that song a lot and it got old very quickly. I think this dude has a really interesting voice .
