Cage the Elephant- Thank You, Happy Birthday

I have been interested in listing to Cage the Elephant for a while but unfortunately I never really got the chance until the release of their latest album Thank You, Happy Birthday this year. The album is incredibly satisfying, sprinkled with outstanding guitar and drum work. The bands greatest strength, however, is in songwriting and melody. Matthew Shultz has an interesting vocal style and harmonizes really well with himself. While strong, the lyrics often feel shallow compared to the stand-out instrument work. I think this album has some really great gems that are definitely worth a listen or two, but as an album I find it lacking.
