I would say I have never considered myself a Kings Of Leon fan, but this album is a far cry from their previous lo/fi almost hillbilly sound of old. This album erks you back to a better time, to the early 90's of american music, and whilst I couldn't necessarily consider this album a grunge album it has more of that feel. There are also some pixies links to be made here although the they are subtle. The tracks are delivered in an almost understated fashion, so this isn't an album that'll smack you in the mouth from the start, but there is something genuinely loveable about it.
I've been struggling with 'new music' for a while, there hasn't been anthing that has really caught my imagination, but I've not been album to get this CD out of my head, it's dominating my home stereo and MP3 player and I would say it's the first new album I have loved for a very long time. And I can say without reservation I will love it for a long time yet..
