surprised there's no thread for them here. anyways, appreciate this great band. one of my favorites from the past few years. no record sounds the same, and they have come into their own on their past album or two after doing some style borrowing in their early days. the new songs sound excellent as well. good to see they are finally starting to get noticed in their home country.
discuss favorite albums/songs/anything and whatnot.

I'm listening to the leak right now. It normally takes alot of play throughs for me to get into new albums but I'm loving this already. They are 4 albums in and yet to make an average record, let alone a bad one.

Bump since the new albums been released now
This albums grown on me a lot - this could possibly be my album of the year(or at least make it in the top 5)
Standout tracks for me are Closer, Crawl, Sex on Fire & Use Somebody
I would recommend this album to anyone wanted a decent rock album

i don't see it as maturation, i see it as boring. Look at fucking "Revelry" that is one of the most boring songs I've heard this year, and they ALL sound similar to that.

Broden Terry
10/16/08, 02:25 AM
I really enjoyed Only By The Night.
I'm glad that I purchased it, and the only reason I did was because I liked some of their older material, and also because it was top of the ARIA charts when I went to my local CD store.
Definitely slotted somewhere in my top 10 albums of the year.
Much preferred Because of the Times to Only By The Night. I mean, I liked it, but the first five songs was where the really good stuff was.
KOL have yet to produce a consistently great album yet though.

Closer is the absolute shit, however, I found that the best couple of songs were in the beginning, and then Only By the Night really ran dry. I think they've got a lot of the right ideas, but I don't feel as though they execute them well, or at least not to my tastes. I find that after a period of time, the songs begin to get repetitive, no matter how cool they open or how catchy the choruses are. There's something really formulaic about this band, which disappoints me, because I'd love for them to take those great ideas and be unpredictable with them. Oh. And the lead singer's voice is great, even though he tends to use the same expressions in every song.
/albumthoughts

'Closer' is gorgeous, thought like 'Knocked Up' on BOTT the opener was the best on the album.

Such a unique voice, and they come together really well as a group (The fact that they're related could be a factor...)

their whole collection is fantastic. i like everything from "Red Morning Light" to "Closer". this band can do no wrong. Because of the Times is their best album IMO. its good to see a rock band with southern roots that isn't shit like 3 Doors Down. and its a shame to hear so many people trash them now because they're huge.
top 5 songs, IMO:
1. King of the Rodeo
2. On Call
3. The Bucket
4. California Waiting
5. Notion

08/27/09, 04:28 AM
I finally got to see them live this summer, and it was a great show. I was especially pleased with the set list which more or less included all of my favourites from the older albums, as opposed to many of the acts I saw which were a bit too focused on their latest albums. Only By The Night is a decent record for sure, but compared to their other three, and especially Because Of The Times, it was a bit of a disappointment in my opinion.
does anyone have the set list for kings of leon's current tour going on right now? Just curious because i am seeing them friday and i want to see how much of their old stuff will be played

I'm so happy that they have been gettign the recognition that they deserve. They played in Mexico City recently for the first time since 2003. My cousin went and said that people were going crazy (there was over 20,000) of them! Anyways, I was looking for some photos from the show and came across THESE (http://www.spinearth.tv/report/photo-gallery-kings-of-leon-rock-mexico-city-for-the-second-time) (there's a gallery of about 30 pics). They're pretty amazing so I thought I'd share them with you all. Hope you enjoy them and if you have any, I'd love to see them so that I can send them to her :)

Maybe Revelry? They're not the most romantic band out there but that may be a place to start. Possibly True Love Way too but I don't know, it's a little darker than your typical romantic song.
Kings of leon are great. But they don't have beards anymore. Beards are punk.

It seems that's the way we're going based on this.

Funny story. I've been hearing about this band for a while now. Obviously I've heard Use Somebody more times than one man ever should in their life. I always heard mixed things though, that they were actually pretty good despite how they're lead singles make them sound. I never got around the checking them out. My buddy showed me "Closer" about half a year ago and I instantly fell in love. I still never got around to checking out the rest of Only By The Night. Friday during my woods and metals class my teacher turns on his cd player and as I was listening to what was playing I though "I've heard this voice before.... It's so familiar" and I was digging what I was hearing. Then Use Somebody came on and I was all NO WAY IT'S KINGS OF LEON
so i bought only by the night. it's legit. too much hate imo.

Love the version of this song from their live iTunes EP, especially the bass line. I love bass lines you can actually sing along to.

I've had Trani stuck in my head all morning.
And yes, Black Thumbnail is awesome.
Black Thumbnail, Fans, and the Runner are probably my favorites from that album.

The album is officially streaming on their site!! sounds fantastic so far....I loved OBtN and had it before it exploded on the radio so i generally disagree with most people that bash it but at the same time, CAS is an improvement so far....im on track 4 and i gotta say i like it a lot....very rootsy if that makes sense lol

I think that's the track that Jared said in an interview is the hardest bass line he ever played and if they ever play it live, he's going to have to turn around so people don't see the pain on his face. Excited to pay more attention to it, I listened the stream once through and am not going to listen again till the album drops.

He was too funny during that interview!
For those who care, and don't already know, they are posting daily (?) interviews about the new album, on their youtube accoun (http://www.youtube.com/user/kingsofleon)t. Pretty interesting to hear feedback about each song. I think Pyro definitely has the most interesting story.

I say his voice is good. I don't "love" it, but i don't hate it by any means. The new album is definitely good, but it's virtually indistinguishable from their older work.

I disagree with this. I think that they've grown since Only By The Night.

I loved this! Their performance was pretty good too...still not thrilled about "Mary" being the next single though.

I'm psyched about "Mary" being the next single. It's my fave song on the album and after SNL, I was getting nervous it was going to be "Pyro", which just doesn't do it for me.
I love these guys, though, I feel like "Only By The Night" is their worst album.
I know it's got their biggest songs on it, and it was necessary for them to release it to gain exposure, but, their new album, and all albums before "Only By The Night" just trump it in every way to me.. great to hear them jack in a little of their older sound into this new album, but still not have it sound like they just dug up a bunch of old songs they didn't release.
I also enjoy how prominent the bass lines are, they don't make them inaudible at all, which is great, always love a song with a mad, prominent bass line.
Good stuff, "Fans" is my favourite song by them.. and their next single should be "The Face" haha

Jared's bass lines are seriously my favorite thing about this band. I LOVE his bass lines, they are so present in every song to the point where I actually know and expect them better than the lyrics. it's a fantastic thing. i love when instrumentals are so clear. Matthew's guitar parts too, they really add to the songs, everything is a piece of the whole picture with these guys.
"Fans" is my fave song as well. Love the version from '07 in Reading.
Haha yeah, they had such a huge sound for that set.. insane..

Front row tonight. Amazing time. I don't care what shit I get, I just don't understand how people can hate on these guys the way they do. Freaking awesome musicians, can musically FILL the huge spaces they're playing now and the set list was awesome (songs from all five albums, closed with "Black Thumbnail" aka possibly the best bass line in rock at the moment). Things you learn when you can really see the band: Nathan Followill sings almost every word to almost every song along with Caleb.

Ah. So jealous. I love Nathan, he seems to be the most genuine out of all of them.

I'm really hoping to get into a screening of this during Tribeca. Looks like they're having four showings, so hopefully I'll be able to make it to one. That trailer is intense.

In the bus? Definitely Nathan. I think that scene is especially poignant in light of recent events.
