Review: Cage The Elephant's "Thank You, Happy Birthday" - Incredible Range For A Second Album - Cage The Elephant's Thank You Happy Birthday is both surprising and impressive. This album makes it clear that they already knew what they wanted their music to sound like before their debut. When bands have a very strong first album, it's hard to follow it up with something that is fresh and still their own. Some bands can buck that trend, but few rarely do. Reading that they worked on 80 song ideas while on tour only makes me even more anxious for the third album. Whatever they have in the water in KY, it seems to be working. This is the best sophomore album in recent memory. On the one hand this album has some tracks that are much more polished than the first one. Songs like "Always Something," "Aberdeen" and "Right Before My Eyes" sound like they could have come right off of BRMC's Baby 81 . Yet it still has that raw energy that makes CTE so powerful. "Sell Yourself," "Japanese Buffalo" and "Sabertooth Tiger" have the same raw energy that made "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" such a great single. Other songs stand alone as stripped down indie rock. I love the smoother "Flow" and "Rubber Ball." The melodic "Shake Me down" and "Around My Head" have clear pop melodies mixed with a hard edge that reminds me of some of the best of 90s rock. It's hard to listen to "2024" without hearing the influence of classic punk rockers like The Ramones. And the rocking rhythm of "Indy Kidz" is infectious. CONCLUSION It's difficult to overstate how diverse and impressive this album is. I have seen this band a few times during their first tour, and their live performances have the same immediacy as their albums have had thus far. I highly recommend you give this record a listen. Not every song will appeal to every listener, but most will find at least a few tracks to their liking. And I suspect that the rest will grow on a lot of people. Enjoy. Review: This is a fantastic album. It's not quite as political as their ... - This is a fantastic album. It's not quite as political as their first one, but it's still got some great songs. "It's Always Something" and "2024" as well as "Sabertooth Tiger" are all very "Cage the Elephanty" songs, with a good mix of 'new' feel to them. And "Shake Me Down" and "Aberdeen" are awesome songs. They're all fun, beat driven, and slightly trippy (with some far more so than others). I'd recommend getting this album if you like the first one, but don't expect it to be quite so full of politics mixed with vinegar. The lyrics though, are spot on, and are very much something you could expect from CtE. While still maintaining a slight defiance, they remain poetic, and sharp and that's a tough line to follow. From start to finish, Thank You Happy Birthday both screams Cage the Elephant and also shows a slightly different, more... contemplative side to the band. They actually remind me a little of the Beatles, in the way they shift, while still making awesome music. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0049JPUCQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,096 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #748 in Indie Rock #3,782 in Alternative Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #17,442 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (535) | | Date First Available | October 28, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 15399429 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2011 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 4.9 x 0.4 inches; 2.08 ounces | | Run time | 40 minutes | ## Images ![Thank You Happy Birthday - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MxB9KsiiL.jpg) ![Thank You Happy Birthday - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iVmPEiqGL.jpg) ![Thank You Happy Birthday - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819XN9LAxCL.jpg) ![Thank You Happy Birthday - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TUT1yZaHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cage The Elephant's "Thank You, Happy Birthday" - Incredible Range For A Second Album *by M***K on January 12, 2011* Cage The Elephant's Thank You Happy Birthday is both surprising and impressive.

Awesome (: This album is a great album, from begining to end, from a great band. Some aren't happy because of their change from the first to the latest album. Well, personally, I'm glad they did. In this album, from the slow to the fast songs, they show they're musical growth from the last couple years. Cage is one of the most important new bands to come in about the last 10 years. If I had to choose to buy this, I would do it again, no regrets. (Just if anyone was curious, the best album from 2011 so far is "Wasting Light" from the Foo Fighters but I think Cage might agree with me. Or maybe they will after they open up for them this fall! :D ) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14819361-thank-you-happy-birthday](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/14819361-thank-you-happy-birthday) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
