Another album, another sound. Though this time they have definitely matured as a band, writing music from their own experiences rather than relying on the sounds of their inspirations. Cage The Elephant have evolved into a modern rock band with Melophobia. They still wear their influences on their sleeve, but as an addition to their songwriting and not as a basis. From the Bowie influenced open track "Spiderhead" to the Velvet Underground inspired closing track "Cigarette Daydreams". What they have created here is their most consistent sounding record to date, and one that I really enjoyed. If you're a fan of rock in any form there will no doubt be something on this record you'll enjoy.
