Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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..

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

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*

brinepacer

it sounds like chewing tinsel while having a painful bowel movement - ON ACID!!!

Album is a slow burner that hacks away at your brain. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I'm enjying it at the moment...what three weeks after listening to it first.

Dublin's Finest

On Call has already begun to wear thin.

Fans and Trunk are doing the business for me lately.

quarryman

its the soundtrack to my commute to work.

dunno if that's a good thing...

i guess its also my soundtrack home!

Dublin's Finest

Are they playing Electric Picnic?

Sinfonia

They are not playing Electric Picnic. I cannot say more.
