Alternative Rock band Cage the Elephant released their album “Tell Me I’m Pretty” Friday December 18th and I haven’t been able to stop listening to it. This album took caught me off guard at first. This entire album strums on the heartstrings, making it the perfect album to drive to at night on an empty road to help clear the cluttered mind and heart. Lead singer Matt Schultz successfully achieved the band’s goal of creating an album unlike any of their others. One where he delved into past memories ad childhood hardships to create songs with a background story that makes this album extraordinary. Vocalist Matt Shultz told Alternative Nation, "...the songs have so much diversity in them that I don’t feel like any song is representative of the entire album, kind of like each sound has its own personality." Go out, get this album, turn it on, and tune out the rest of the world.
