Media Diary Week 3

A media text I have consumed this week is a leek of Cage the Elephant's new unreleased album 'Melophobia' which yet again doesn't fail to surprise me on how completely different they sound compered to their last albums 'Thank you happy birthday' and their debut self titled album 'Cage the Elephant' which also sound completely different to each other. It may not be a good thing to completely change their sound, as it can be a risky idea to pull off, yet they haven't failed in doing so from their first album to their second. At this moment in time it is too early to give my full opinion on 'Melophobia', but up to now I am enjoying it. I think this band would be targeted to the Explorers of the 4C's model as each album is completely different to each other, yet still unique, and also because they're not a mainstream band in the rock genre. The reason this band appeal to me is mainly because of their first album, as it was inspired by classic rock, but yet modern with a very distinct sound, this basically forced me to listen to their second album, which yet again impressed me, as even though being dramatically different, it still had features I like about it, it had an almost 'Beck'/techno rock like feel to it. Which brings me on to 'Melophobia' which I would definitely is perfect for Explorers of the 4C's model.
