The Poster World presents to you all 04 of the album covers from the discography of Cage the Elephant.

1. Cage the Elephant (2009)
Copyright- RCA/Jive
This debut album by Cage the Elephant was named on the band's title. They chose an unusual artwork for the cover. The use of color and font is also quite atypical. Bit dark and surreal!

TPW Rating- 3.5/5   

2. Thank You, Happy Birthday (2011)
Copyright- Jive
Another unfamiliar and weird album artwork. Though it looks a childish illustration but it actually is quite interesting. Album name on the below with correction makes this cover really funny.

TPW Rating- 3.5/5

3. Melophobia (2013)
Copyright- RCA
Designed by prominent graphic illustrator R Clint Colburn, this third album cover from the band really is a change of idea from the previous albums. Colburn prepared few shapes and chose one from them. The shape was placed on a monochrome and photographed with a striped background. The facial color of the shaped figure gives us an impression of previous artworks by Cage the Elephant.   

TPW Rating- 5/5

4. Tell Me I'm Pretty (2015)  
Copyright- Easy Eye Sound
Band vocal Matt Shultz & designer Meghan Foley prepared the artwork of this newly released album. Expression of the lady on the front of the cover actually steals the show. There are presence of certain depression and unearthly look on the face. Really odd and eccentric!

TPW Rating- 5/5
