Album Notes
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. While there are old-glory moments of garagey abandon, most of these tracks sound like someone sat and carefully considered the best way to frame them. And that's what makes the difference between having a good band and making a good album.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he Kings of Leon still rule with a messy hand, applying rough magic and blurry, slurred imagery to their swashbuckling rock.Entertainment Weekly (p.95) - Throughout NIGHT, frontman Caleb Followill wails forlornly about cheap thrills and true love while his two brothers (and a cousin) bash out spooky, raw-edged riffs that rarely go where you expect them to. -- Grade: B+Mojo (Publisher) (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- ONLY BY THE NIGHT is packed with songs about being rootless, alienated, misunderstood....It's impressive stuff.Blender (Magazine) (p.108) - It conjures up images of a more refined band -- the songs have overall a slower pace, and so sounds more considered, more deliberate, more reflective.

KOL have gone from strength to strength from an exciting new act to a household name ... with more airplay recently than ever before. Only By The Night is a great sounding album with catchy tunes and thought provoking lyrics. At times very subtle but at other times powerful. Personal favourite track is "Use Somebody" ... highly recommended album, you will not be disappointed !!!
