Description
Third 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 together with touches of Garage, Punk and Substitute swagger. RCA.
Aha 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 modify in plans for the three Followill brothers and their cousin, and this 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 together 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 this 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 this has always left each record fresh, and this time it has Kings of Leon teetering on the edge of rock renown. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Totally Fun and Feel Good!!   2010-03-12
By A. Chantel Causby (Charlotte, NC)
I had to write a review for this album! I just recently started listening to Kings of Leon and I started with their newest album, Only by the Night, so I have purchased the albums backwards! Once I purchased Only by the Night I immediately fell in love with them! Every album has been absolutely amazing! This entire album is great, but my favorite track is #9, Fans!!! This track is so fun and feel good!! The lyrics are great, the beat is amazing and of course that sexy unique voice of his is phenomenal!!! It is a track that sticks in my mind from morning till night! I could not even get through the entire CD when I purchased it because I had to repeat Fans a millions times!!! Fans, Knocked up, Black Thumbnail and Trunk are my favs, but really, the whole album is great...just like all their others! Kings of Leon has one of the most unique styles and sounds I've ever heard! I definitely recommend this album and all their others!!!

Sorry, I didn't like the music. I thought I'd previewed all the song, but I guess I was wrong. I love their 4th album but didn't like any song on this one.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  DENSE, INTENSE, JUST GREAT!   2010-02-06
By Black Mamba (Veracruz, Mexico)
I agree with the mates that had reviewed, that this album is darker that the other KOL material, though it is a magnificent piece of work! i just love the way the melody on Caleb's harsh-screamy voice get mixed with the great riffs and bass lines to form this kind of dense hard rock n roll.....just awsome man! a couple of favourites of mine that are examples of what i say, would be indeed "charmer" and "mcfearless", and of course other great songs like the opening song "knocked up" is hypnothic and is a kind of strange country-hard rock melody; and not to forget the great(now UK rock)anthem "Fans"...maan this is an EXCELLENT album of KINGS OF LEON!!!

and for you collectors, this item came in RED VINYL edition..i don't know if it is numbered to just some quantity but i got lucky and got this gem!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Just as good as the more well known cd.   2010-01-21
By katie ellen (CHICAGOLAND, IL)
Great cd, very solid, maybe one song that I didn't care for as much but even that one has grown on me.

I love it as always. If you don't know who Kings of Leon are yet, please buy this album! Or Only By The Night which is also amazing
