Purchased this disc over the weekend. Only have heard it once, but has an instant old-time grunge feel to it. Probably what Nirvana would sound like if still around.
Aberdeen is the standout track for me so far. Almost surely a single. Gets my vote.
EDIT : MODIFIED TITLE

I don't understand why Artie doesn't put all the tracks there. Different people have different opinons, ya know.  |

If not listed, go ahead and post your opinion. Didn't really want to type out every song.

Should be moved to The Polling Booth. Idk. I wonder how many of us really go over there. It's almost like we have a separate board over here. |

I didn't even know we had a polling section... but if I did, you can bet I wouldn't be a sissy over there and not discuss music. Don't consider it a poll, rather a discussion on the next radio song we'll hear from Cage The Elephant. Imagine the simplicity.

Or just imagine discussing the song and band you visited! I don't think the whining would be as noticeable if it was directed toward a song or group.

Fine, I'm directing my next vindictive comment toward The Artie Ziffs and their song "I Make The Threads So Pen Can Do All The Research."

Now you're just reaching. But at least it's entertaining to watch a struggle!! Sounds like a good song, though.

Every time you make a thread off of something you've read on Billboard or heard on satellite, I'm the one who usually has to come in with the actual facts behind the song. It's a running gag at this point. And to say I don't discuss music is a fallacy. I discuss music far more than you do. |

Yes, you have posted here more than I have. Now let's see if we can keep the future ones on topic?

I love how Artie picked his favs and presumed they'd be everyone elses too. I'd probably pick "Right Before My Eyes, which seems like the popular choice. Also, I'm not hearing this "Nirvana sound". Sounds like a typical indie rock record, more Oasis than Nirvana for me.

Lockebox, I picked what I assumed would be the most logical choices for the next single. I based it on early airplay figures, reviews of the CD, and radio feel. Don't assume you know what my favorites are on the album. Right Before My Eyes is a fine choice too.
I don't think they sound like Nirvana a lot, but this seems like what Nirvana may have sounded like today.

^ I would think it would easier to just put the tracklist instead then do all that research, Artie |

I don't think they sound like Nirvana a lot, but this seems like what Nirvana may have sounded like today. Exactly, an assumption. You really should have listed all the possibly choices if you were gonna create a thread like this. You can't say you couldn't be bothered to type them all out either, seeing as you said you've read various reviews, which would take more time to do. I don't hear any Nirvana influence in their sound at all actually. Pixies? Perhaps. More so Oasis & Stone Roses, though. |

Luckily the "post reply" option is here to voice opinions not listed. As well as the "Other" option if voting is important. All of the reviews I had read were long before starting the poll.
I haven't heard enough Oasis to recognize any of their sound in this American band. Nirvana, The Melvins, and Agfhan Whigs always come to mind when I hear either of Cage The Elephant's albums.

You know so much about radio, yet don't know Oasis? And I don't see how nationality is relevant when it comes to who bands are influenced by ??? Ok, well you keep thinking that, I just don't hear it. |

I said I don't listen to Oasis. Please don't twist the words around. Not twisting any words around and nothing has been quoted that hasn't been said. Just merely clarifying his statement, thank you. |

I said I don't listen to Oasis. Please don't twist the words around. You should have listened to them enough, seeing as they were fairly big on RADIO in the 90's. EDIT: This topic shouldn't really be here anyway. The discussion for the second single should be in the "Shake Me Down" thread. |
