Pure quality. For those who have never stumbled across the King of Leon before, they are four male members of the same Followill family (brothers and cousins) and are based in Nashville.
The gravely vocals of Caleb Followill are absolutely unique and make for an amazing rock and roll sound. This third album "Because of the Times" has a touch more production than the previous two but it is still up to the usual Kings of Leon standard which is borderline perfection. "Knocked Up" is a seven minute opener but reminds you immediately that this band are special. "On Call" is the first single released and is an instant hit, pulsing bass layered with trademark vocal talent.
Other highlights are "True Love Way" which shows KoL at their best, crunching chords which subside to allow the vocals to weave their magic. "Ragoo" and "Fans" will both keep fans happy and would not seem out of place on previous albums, although they still sit well in what is a slightly 'blacker' album than "Youth and Young Manhood" or "Aha Shake Heartbreak".
The closing track "Arizona" is a real indulgence of the bands ability and will have you humming long after the CD clicks off.
This is another sensational album from a band which, in my humble opinion, are one of the best around.
