Album of the Week 2/7 - 2/14: Tell Me I'm Pretty by Cage the Elephant

     For all of you Indie Rock fans out there that have been chomping at the bit for a new favorite album, look no further! Kentucky-based Indie band Cage the Elephant sent 2015 packing with a bang, as they released this newest LP in mid-December. The staff here at The Multi-Fret Gazette have had the album streaming non-stop lately, and it's an all-around favorite in the office. Hell, it's not hard to see why! The album, whose title in itself is a brilliant work of societal satire, kicks off with the catchy, off-the-wall first chords of "Cry Baby". Following the cynical tone of the album title, this first track even has an embedded line that declares,"We all have something important to say/But talking's a waste of time." The track is followed by the swift-tempo'd chorus and guitar riff of the latest Rock radio staple "Mess Around".  The album is killer throughout all ten tracks, but, as music lovers and critics, we narrowed down some favorites that we recommend you check out.  The Multi-Fret favs are below:

Mess Around
Sweetie Little Jean
Cold, Cold, Cold
Punchin' Bag
Portuguese Knife Fight

Check out this album, which is sure to rack up some awards this year! We give it a 5/5! Stream the entire album below:
