Cage The Elephant’s Tell Me I’m Pretty
Why Cage the Elephant, you say? Why this old album, you say?
Firstly, WHY NOT? Why not re-appreciate and revisit music that has come and gone?
Secondly, I dare you to think of a Cage the Elephant song that you don’t like. Sure, they may have a few songs that are better than others, but you will be hard-pressed to find a song of theirs that isn’t vibrant, catchy, thoughtful, and precise all in one.
Yesterday, I heard the song Trouble off of this album for the first time and I was immediately taken back to the Melophobia days. All I wanted to listen to was that album. Currently, all I want to listen to is Tell Me I’m Pretty.
Tell me I’m Pretty is a laid-back album reflecting on life’s difficulties, at least to my ears interpretation. I believe they accurately portray how difficult it is to grow up, how difficult it is to want- to want but never receive; how difficult it is to deal with never receiving the love you put into the world, how difficult it is to be one with the rest of humanity.

I actually haven’t heard of this band before, but I feel like I definitely need to check them out. In general, what would you say are the songs that I need to listen to?
My favorite Cage the Elephant songs are (in no order) Mess Around, Back Against the Wall, Aberdeen, It’s Just Forever, Trouble, and Spiderhead. Please give a listen to all of them! Trust me, you won’t regret it. 🙂
I will definitely check those out, always need more new music in my life 🙂
