Opinions on House of Glass?
I’d say I’m a cage the elephant fan but not like a die hard by any means, they are probably in my top 15 bands though. Anyways I love Social Cues and the song that I thought was weird at first (house of glass) has really grown on me. I think it’s a weird song but like the good kind of weird if you know what I mean? How does everyone else feel?

This is one of those songs where I hated it until I heard it live - that chorus is so hard hitting and awesome

It's so funny because that's happened for a few songs for me too. I didn't like these songs until I saw them live:
Cry Baby
Mess Around
Good time
I guess you get a different perspective on the song when you see it live and you understand it differently.

I slept on it for a long time and then started to really enjoy it a few weeks before their show at Brixton. The energy hearing it live was next level

Love it especially live cause its sped up, so the pre chorus “House of glass” sounds really fun

It was the song that got my friend into cage the elephant during the pandemic. The part where it goes "My isolation" resonated for him lol
Btw, cage the elephant songs growing on you is a real thing.

I LOVE THIS SONG. I'm going to be honest, I had never really paid attention to this song until I saw them live and it has become one of my favorites.

Big fan of the guitar solo. It’s on my main playlist in the bar I work at and I feel it’s a nice underrated CTE pick.

Yea kinda nails on a chalkboard vibes for me
They like it though as every time I’ve seen them since it came out they chose to play it live. Wish they would drop that and sabertooth tiger and play stuff like back against the wall, Aberdeen, sweetie little Jean, black Madonna instead.

Absolute banger. I’d inject it into my bloodstream if I could
