Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

lordgoat

Not taking ths piss John


I think this is an amazing album. I love it. Think it's def an equal to Aha, the more i listen the more i like it. On Call, Charmer, Ragoo, Fans... all quality songs. The best new album so far i think. Even tops Wilco's latest at the moment...

Armstrong

It's a cracking album. Knocked Up is brilliant

pig on the wing

My Party is my favourite off it right now. Not a buig fan of the album overall though.

:|

I'm loving True love way atm

Mushy

When I listened to it on myspace, I really liked My Party. I think Fans was the other one I really enjoyed. If I listen to it more and more, I'll hopefully get into it more so. Not a big fan of the new single though. Hopefully they are good live, am getting to see them in June!

The Walsho

Loving this album, I think their bassist has gotten decent enough now. Charmer is my favourite at the moment. Great album imo.

It takes a lot of listening to before you can really appreciate. Upon first listening, i just thought i was a so and so album, but now i'm really loving it! I have a new favourite song every day, True Love way and Black Thumbnail, not to mention Arizona are my picks at the moment.

Truely brilliant band, with a great sound.

Royale with Cheese

Yeah this one's a grower. It's a fantastic album. Far better than their last which was pretty overrated imo.

Andy-Pandy

Yep, I think it rocks also.

catch--22

I think Fans is the second single, great tune and strong album overall. Does require a few listens alright!

lordgoat

Good to see that people like it and realise that it takes a bit of time to get into it. Think it's a cracker of an album

veryslowey

:rolleyes:

Sinfonia

Very good album, does take a few listens to get into.
Don't think there's a bad song on it.
Probably not a catchy as Youth and Aha, but very good songs throughout.

Really liked On Call when I first heard it, but it's getting overshadowed now by songs like Knocked Up, Black Thumbnail, Arizona and The Runner.

Actually anybody know if this'll be released on vinyl?

I was the exact same. I was really looking forward to it and was a bit dissappointed when i first heard it. By the 5th listen i was loving it.

Pacifico

Just got this today. Great album alright

Only track I don't really like is charmer....

lordgoat

Charmer grows and grows...

Vinyl, check insound.com if it's not there then i'm at a loss...

mada999

yeah good stuff on there...little different to their earlier offerings, but worth a look! Knocked up and on call do it for me at the mo...

It means it's a major tune. Not a minor one, or miner one. But a major one. Fairly simple.

judas101

exactly

Sinfonia

The On Call B-side 'My Third House' is pretty good too

/Andy\

Yeah like most of you it took a couple of listens but it's really starting to grow on me, love On Call, fans, My party and Knocked up

ShakyJ

Took a listen or two but its a great album like the others these boys have given out!

Just gonna emphasise this, cos it's gettin better with every listen, ye's should get it, it belongs on the album!!!!!

Im loving this album. It took me a few listens alright. Seems to be the same for everyone. Check out the songs Ragoo and true love way. Brilliant. I wasnt the biggest fan of them. I am now. I just wish I had tickets for when they are playing here this summer at a certain place.

eventz_user

Great Album.. I love it. Not disapointed at all...

quarryman

just bought this today so only had one listen but seems good. Interesting to see almost unanimous positive responses here considering pitchfork panned it.

GusherING

Arizona, what a great song. Brilliant album overall!

by the end of the year it'll be in their polls. it's a great album

padi89

Have this now a few days and i must say im loving it.Took a few listens alright to get into but i think its just because its a pretty different direction from the last two albums.

csk

It's good but it's no Youth and Young Manhood. Fans and On call are the standout songs imo.

Alter-Ego

Excellent album from an excellent band. Loving Black Thumbnail and My Party.

Does anybody know where i can get the pictures of the band on the album sleeve online? They're brilliant.

ballroom blitz

Love this album anyone see them on Jonathon Ross last night? They were great!! Going to see them for the third time in the summer can't wait they are even better live!!:)

Zapp Brannigan

Great album, really really like it. But not as much as Aha Shake... but still great album. I've been putting it on on repeat in work all the time since I've gotten it!

Cos88

Love this album. Aha took a while to grow on me because I wasn;t used to their "sound", but pretty much liked this album since it's release. Knocked Up is a great intro track.

iFight

Love the whole album, so good. McFearless and On Call are my favourites at the moment

Arizona Listen ListenEditorial ReviewsAmazon.comAha Shake Heartbreak may have blown open the doors of fame for Kings of Leon, but their third full-length album (named for a United Pentecostal Church ministers' conference) could well usher the Nashville foursome directly to rock and roll's zenith. There's hardly a change in plans for the three Followill brothers and their cousin, and that means producer Ethan Johns, a smorgasbord of musical influences, and a cacophonous ensemble of guitar, bass, and drums. A trio of relentless rockers--"My Party," "Camaro," and the sarcastic "Charmer"--are sure to pacify those familiar with the Kings' blueprint, yet there is ripening in the band's approach heard, in several of the record's 13 songs. Reverb guitar and vocals and a "woo woo" chorus add a sinister aspect to "Trunk," and "Knocked Up" features a laissez-faire Caleb Followill crooning "She don't care what her mama said/She's gonna have my baby." The seven-minute revelation of fatherhood that opens the album leads into the U2-influenced "McFearless," a reggae-splashed "Ragoo," and the rambling English blues of "Black Thumbnail." It's a rogue element that has always left every record fresh, and this time it has Kings of Leon teetering on the edge of rock renown. --Scott Holter Product DescriptionThird album from the rockin' American quartet whose previous albums (2003's Youth And Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak from '05) have earned them a large worldwide following. Consisting of three brothers and a cousin, the Kings Of Leon mix their own brand of Southern Rock with touches of Garage, Punk and Alternative swagger. RCA.

verys|owey

Link to a stupidly huge Kings of Leon picture that adds nothing to the thread

lordgoat

Quick has anyone any really ****ign huge pictures of KOL? Could they post them up? Thanks... Word of advice remove the link to Kaazaa in your last post, tis illegal and i'd hate to see you banned...

John

verys|owey, could you please think before you post. I've already closed and deleted some of your posts because of your attitude, any more muppetry from you and you will be banned.

Maybe follow your own advice, what relevance was the huge picture you posted of the band? Or the garbled Amazon press release on the previous page?

quarryman

ok after roughly 18 listens this is one of my favorite albums in the last year.

that's 3 solid albums from these guys, can't think of many other bands to do that.

True, they've panned all KoL's albums actually, with each scoring somewhere in the fours. I have really gone off Pitchfork - very pretentious and alternative for alternative's sake.

lordgoat

I have a problem with a few of their writers but i find for looking up older albums the reviews are great..

John

*sigh* verys|owey banned for being a muppet.

brinepacer

Um that's not a muppet, that's a dog, duh.

Anyone else find "Fans" oddly moving?

Ha ha!

Back to album though.....


.....have to admit....it's been a very long time since I've heard an album that I just can't stop playing over and over. It just keeps geeting better and I keep hearing bits and pieces that I love even more!

Charmer my current favorite! If only they were to be added to Electric Picnic! *sigh*
