Kings of Leon are a great band, I love their work, They are from Nashville in Tennessee and formed in 2000<[Thanks to the guy who pointed out my error i corrected it:)] Their name is based around their Father and Grandfather, They were both known as Leon. The band consists of Four brothers.
After the Debut in 2003 the band became widely popular especially in certain parts of Europe
The band are known at the moment for their single(and track off this album) ‘Sex On Fire’
Tracks
Closer 5/5
This is a brilliant track, A great
opening, you really hear the Indie genre come out in this track. It has been said that this is the song theme for the Film New Moon(woop!) which is released in November. The band experimented with this track and I have to say they did a good Job on coming up with some immense sound.
Crawl 5/5
I love the beat to this track, its really catchy. The song is based on Anti-War and has a led Zeppelin feel to it. Vocals are great fits well with the beat and rhythm, Bass line alone is a little iffy to me but it still doesn’t affect the track to me.
Sex On Fire 5/5
A well known song through out the world, I admit I love the song but now im bored of it, it is constantly played on music channels and its just getting annoying. I still listen to it once in a blue moon it has a great tune to it and a catchy rhythm and beat.
Use Somebody 5/5
I think this is my favourite track off the whole album, It is just ad good as ‘Sex On Fire’ yet it gets less credit, it is played frequently on music channels but people prefer that to this one, I honestly think if they repeated this track again and again it wouldn’t bore me because I do love this track and I think it should get more credit
Manhattan 5/5
This track starts off with a great rhythm that is slow but catchy it’s the type of track you could close your eyes to. I love the lyrics, very infectious.
Revelry 5/5
This is a lovely song, I like the fact this band haven’t really switched tempo through out the tracks and kept it really, to one tempo through out them all. I like the beat in this track, I seem to find myself tapping it on a desk in school and the teachers find it annoying…because I tap beats all the time! If you want to see a different side to KOL then I recommend you listen to this track, its brilliant.
17 5/5
This is an awesome track, It has a great bass line, totally awesome and It is extremely catchy. The lyrics are great and sung with great passion, It sounds great live and I say if you ever get the chance to see them…go it is well worth it.
Notion 5/5
I have this track on my playlist on my computer so when ever I switch on my computer an play my music this is always one I listen to, its quite captivating and has a simple but god damn effective piano melody behind it in some parts.
I Want You 5/5
Another track that is great live. I love the bass line It has its independence in this track an I think that’s great because you don’t get many song where you hear the bass line more than you hear the beat or rhythm of the guitar.
Be Somebody 5/5
This track is excellent. Another great bass line and a deepish beat which gives this track the knock on effect. The vocals are immense and the lyrics are ones that you wont forget and can be inspiring if you want them to.
Cold Desert 5/5
Closing track and I have to say what a great way to end the Album, I love this song live, it is so much better. I don’t know what it is exactly I like about this track I just love it, You have to listen to it to know what I mean, I find this one difficult to explain.
i love this album + band, one of my favourites! i've reviewed this one myself aswell. very helpful review, well done x
