FMQB says November 22nd is the drop date for Cage The Elephant's first single from their sophomore effort Computer Says Move. Should be interesting to hear what happens this go-round.

Anything near decent should hit #1.

Anything near decent should hit #1. Most likely. I'm still shocked at how incredibly well they did from a debut album, which was much better than I expected at first as well. This album should make or break them to either become huge or a one album wonder if they can follow the success that they've had over the past year and a half or so.

It was so weird that "Ain't No Rest..." took off as fast as it did. Payola? Maybe.
I hope that this is good, I liked their singles from the last album.

Their debut album is great, funny and good lyrics!
Also they have an energy sound which I miss on some american rock bands.
Can't wait!

Almost feels too soon. I know the album originally came out in'08... i remember having it about 8 months before it even hit radio. but didn't "In One Ear" just recently die off... or not even die off. Usually a 3rd or 4th single from one album that goes almost right into a lead single from next doesn't turn out to well. Maybe it debuts well... but dies off quicker and stations go back to playing the other singles

I was expecting a follow-up to "In One Ear", since it hit #1. Oh well, this will probably debut Top 30 and rise fast and fall faster.

I agree. Old title was better.

I'll third that. "Computer Says Move" sounds better, but whatever. It's the sound of the album that is the most important aspect.

I don't know what to think. It's really all over the place. Reminds me of MGMT's newer songs, actually. And is that autotune?

This is easily the least catchiest song I've heard from them yet, but it's not bad. I'm sure there's better than this on their new album for sure.

I really like it, although not in the same way I like their other stuff. I wonder if this album is going to be a Pinkerton.

You mean be heavily critically panned to the point where the band breaks up for five years and then comes back and proceeds to make a zillion albums a year, none of which are considered to be anywhere near as good as the aforementioned critically panned album, which in the duration of time has now actually become critically beloved and said to be the catalyst for an entire cultural movement and a musical genre that the band has absolutely nothing to do with in the first place?

This is a good song, but I don't know how well it'd do on radio. Hm.

Top 50 on Alternative:
0 45 CAGE THE ELEPHANT Shake Me Down 160 0 160 0.731
This sounds different from anything I've heard from them.

After meeting this band once, I hope this song miserably fails.
