- they've come a long way
I've been re-listening to this lately, a lot. While I love all their work (Aha Shake Heartbreak is a very underrated album) this album is the pick of the bunch in so many ways. It's so raw yet so visceral at the same time, repeated listening rewards with new discoveries.
Sure, their later stuff is great but I was a bit underwhelmed with 'Only by the night' - I just think they've lost something in bringing their sound so far, and in listening to this after their latest stuff the clarity of progression is huge. I guess they had to move on but maybe they lost something when they dropped the spit and sawdust rock for stadium filling anthems.
Buy this, it's a total classic.
Rating: - So good I had to buy two!
I bought this album when it first came out and I've listened to it so much that I've had to buy another copy. My old album keeps skipping at Joe's Head (probably my favourite song). AMAZING album!!
Rating: - The best album in the last 10 years
When Q magazine asked Noel gallager what band he was looking out for at T in the park years ago he said, "kings of leon, They are my new favourite band". I imediately bought the album when it came out (alongside the darkness's permission to land....cough) He wasn't wrong. Youth and young manhood was blindingly brilliant.
Lyiricaly the songs are brilliantly smutty yet you really have to be looking for the sexual reference. Thats really what the album is about. Being young and desperate to have it off with ladies.
But musicaly "Molly's chamber, wasted time and Holy roller novacaine" are simpy outstanding! There is not a bad song on this album I know people say that a lot but i can't stress this enough its faultless. The muffled overexited rambings of caleb singing is sometimes difficult to understand but i think that adds to the fun...."What did he just say?" ect. But "Joe's head".....WHAT a song oh dear....Oh its just an amazing piece of work musically and lirically its so vivid and a great story.
So yeah they do take a wee bit of influnce from the Eagles, zepplin and CCR it can't be denyed that when YAYM goes into the stereo you it sounds like it should be on vinal.
The fact that they are so fantastically wierd and completley Nuts makes this a real masterpiece. I really don't think an album since has come close since.
LONG LIVE THE KINGS.!!
Rating: - Brilliant
I was quite slow on the uptake with KOL, I only bought this album a year ago but it remains possibly one of my favourite albums and is rarely far from my CD player. I've never once got bored of it and can sit through the entire album without skipping a single track. Happy Alone, Molly's Chambers and California Waiting are possibly the best on the album. Can't wait to see them for the first time in Glastonbury! Utter brilliance.
Rating: - Excellent Stuff
I love it...not in an instant, first hearing way, but in a play it a few times and watch the sensation of "This is REALLY good" creep up on you.....I have been re-listening to this lately, and it is ageing well!
Basic, clever, loud, furious and masterful. Highly recommended - one of my top 20 albums. Excellent.
