| 3.9 excellent | Erwann S. EMERITUS | July 28th 21 |
A cool blend of 60s psych and garage, 70s punk (altough that influence is less important than on their early tunes), 80s alt rock (yeah that Pixies influence is obvious), 90s stoner/slacker vibe, and noughties indie (yeah MGMT was massive), Melophobia is a well-constructed melting-pot, and that's a mighty feat given how easy it is for an album to sound unfocused. Now, is it revolutionizing the dying rock game? Nah. It's a rad album that wears its influence on its sleeve a tad too proudly to allow itself to truly revolutionize anything. Also, changing the tracklist order to put the most well-known tracks at the front is a big no-no.

I think your audience gets the picture CATE, you can play, as well as in varying styles. The downside is that your group is continuing to experiment in varying styles rather than focusing on one genre your band is willing to expand upon... Now this album is taking the focus on psychedelia. Personally my favorite album by this band so far, this is still a very tame album. Where diversity can be a positive for most albums, this is more or less a hinderance b/c this is an album made in the 2010's. Revealing that this is an album from a band refusing to remain as one, solidified identity for its audience.

After an amazing self-titled debut and a solid and diverse second album that launched the band to stardom, Cage The Elephant stepped up their game the way they needed to. Mixing alternative, indie, pop and psychadelic, Cage The Elephant created an absolutely flawless record that outstands every single record released this year. Honestly, Melophobia is slowly becoming one of the best records I've ever heard, it just feels good to listen to it. Joy and emotion all in one.
