Only by the Night by Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon: Caleb Followill (vocals, guitar); Matthew Followill (guitar, background vocals); Jared Followill (bass instrument, background vocals); Nathan Followill (drums, background vocals). Personnel: Jacquire King , Angelo Petraglia (keyboards). Audio Mixer: Jacquire King . Recording information: Blackbird Studio, Nashville, TN. With their raw, organic sound, Tennessee's Kings of Leon emerged in 2003 as Southern rock for the indie-garage set, sort of a Strokes for the South. While there were hints of a new direction on their third album, BECAUSE OF THE TIMES, its follow-up, ONLY BY THE NIGHT, follows through with a near-reinvention of the Kings' sound. ONLY BY THE NIGHT could be mistaken for avant-indie cult heroes the Liars on a Southern vacation, as post-punk angularity, distorto-funk bass lines, and clattering percussion are processed through what sounds like the world's biggest fuzzbox.

I try not to hold grudges.  The past is the past, forgive and forget, all that jazz.  Though I must say I'm still a teeny bit mad- okay, absolutely livid- about the fact that Kings of Leon cancelled their show that I was going to see in Sacramento.  I was all excited- my best friend I and bought...

Pros Several really strong tracks
Cons Slow start
Recommended it? Yes

This is my favorite Kings of Leon album so far. It starts off kind of slow but has some really hard hitting tunes in the middle. It has tons of bass and some great guitar work. I've been listening to this one over and over again despite having also bought their other albums off iTunes. Read full review »

Pros -Infectious: will have you belowing the words unknowingly <br>-Caleb Followill...
Cons -Repetitive at times.<br>-Some songs seem to just be there to fill in the gaps.
Recommended it? Yes

This has been another stand out album of the year for me. People generally think that 'sex on fire' is the only good song on this album.
