Only By The Night - Kings Of Leon

...and their cousin Matthew Followill. Only By The Night is the album which has made the band known, however it is not their first album, they have released four albums. The band is named after their father and grandfather who are both called Leon. ==Track 1-Closer- 7/10== When I first listened to the album, the only song I had heard before was Sex On Fire, so I had no idea to expect. The album starts with Closer, a weird kind of song. The first thing ...
...but to be honest the only thing I really like in this track in the vocals. I am not too keen on the production of the song, they use a lot of effects throughout this track, including an almost synthesiser, which does sound very good, but it's not something that catches me straight away. I'm not sure if it'll be a grower track, but at the moment, I'm hoping the rest of the album is not like this. ==Track 2- Crawl- 7/10== Damn I know this track will ...

...would be an 11. Not only the sound of many houses, but many bars and clubs up and down the country too. The song peaked at number 1 in Ireland, Finland, United Kingdom and Australia, which shows the real merit of the song. It has now turned three times platinum and has won a host of awards including a Grammy. The most ironic part about the song is the song was never intended to be called Sex on Fire which now is the iconic lyric in the song. From ...
...album, which explains why it only reached 29 in the UK singles chart. A somewhat disappointing follow up to ‘Sex on Fire’ and ‘Use Somebody’, Revelry was the third song released from the album. The song is sang to a woman as she is being asked questions in the lyrics such as “why are you never around”. Don’t get me wrong, if you like this song then that is your own opinion, but I feel it is a real weak point in the album and it never really gets ...

...good. Only By The Night is more than that. It's a risk taking chance in the direction of something a bit new. It didn't all work, but a good deal of it really did. And for that it's worth buying. I certainly look forward to seeing what they'll do next. ...

Review of Only By The Night - Kings Of Leon

...within an eagles head! Only by the Night is the album that brings them together as a musical unit, whereas on past albums I feel that their individual talents have shone. Let me take you through my thoughts track by track: Closer – Opening up with a strong intent to set a mood conveyed throughout this album, closer is a song which threatens greatness but doesn’t quite reach those heights. The song is full off loops and beats which signify a more ...
...starts by telling us she’s only seventeen so we have to ask what he’s doing in this situation, but without it getting too disturbing, he’s quick to explain with a great line that ‘it’s the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me want to stay’! Notion – This was the instant standout track on my first listen. It picks up the tempo in a barnstorming fashion. The lyrics are quite repetitive, ‘don’t knock it, don’t knock it etc’, but this is KOL ...

...tracks as well. There was only one track at first that I wasn't too sure about and even then "Cold Dessert" has really grown on me over the past few weeks. It is an album packed full of incredibly strong and listenable tracks. If you're already a fan of Kings Of Leon then I would have thought you would own this by now. If you aren't but liked "Sex on Fire" on the radio and aren't too sure I can honestly say it's worth giving a go. The rest of the ...
...my own personal favourites "Closer" and "Crawl" are actually much stronger tracks than the first single. For the second time in a year I've been really impressed by a new Kings of Leon album and really can't wait to see what they come up with next. My final recommendation? Well its simple really, go buy this album! Amazon: £7.98 Amazon Marketplace: £6.48 ITunes: £7.99 ...

...have reached the magnitude of Only By The Night. There style of music in previous albums is very Bob Dylan influenced despite being a rocky-bluesy album and works well for them. They had limited chart success with their first two albums, the best being the sing 'the bucket' which entered the top 20. Then came Because of the Times, this went straight to no.1 in the UK album charts. It was a fantastic album which did well despite the Kings of Leon ...
...later now and I believe with this album, we have entered the 8th stage of rock. Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Ozzy Osbourne, Queen, Nirvana and KINGS OF LEON. You may be thinking that it's a bit extreme of me for putting Kings of Leon on the same pedestal as those Rock Legends, let alone in the same sentence, but when was the last time you listened to a CD over and over this side of the 21st century? The amount of times I've bought ...

==Kings Of Leon, Only by the Night== This is one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite bands. In this review I will try to tell you as much as I can about both the album and the band, to help you learn more about both, and to help you make the best buying decision. ===Who are the Kings of Leon?=== The Kings of Leon are an orginal, unique, alternative rock band from Tennesse. The band is made up of three brothers and their cousin, and they ...
...'''The Guardian''' Much of Only By the Night is unmistakably the work of a band making music with arenas in mind. Sometimes it's intriguing. '''NOW Magazine''' For the most part the record is a sluggish mess of sweeping guitars and stoner-rock sounds, not unlike what you might hear at a high school talent show. '''Entertainment Weekly''' Throughout Only by the Night, frontman Caleb Followill wails forlornly about cheap thrills and true love ...

==Kings Of Leon: Only By Night== 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.

...better, they did just that. Only By the Night has been dubbed as their "breakthrough album" and i'm hardly surprised. Althought they have changed from their first two Albums with songs such as Four Kicks being replaced with heavy stadium tunes such as Crawl and Closer. But i think it has evolved in the right direction and have finally found the worldwide success and recognition that they deserve. Best Songs: Use Somebody, Sex on Fire, Closer and ...

...off to buy the album Only By The Night. Hearing the starting track 'Closer' for the first was quite an experience, it was fresh, it was different and it sounded new. It also quite strangely made me feel like music hasn't made me feel for well over ten years now and so I reccommend Kings of Leon as a great new source of entertainment. By the time you're listening to the aboslutely stunning and beautiful 'Sex On Fire' you realize that this is one album ...
...I don't know the origins of the band or who their influences are but one thing is certain, this is a fantastic and very entertaining band with a lot of talent and Only By The Night by kings of Leon comes highly recommened by just about everyone I know. ...

...if they were as good. Only By The Night is the fourth studio album by the american rock band The Kings Of Leon the album since it has been released has been number 1 in 10 countries and has even won two Brit Awards, the two tracks from the album that have already been released were absolutley amazing hits and "Sex On Fire" reached number and and "Use Somebody" hit the second spot. This is their highest selling album out of the four and they have ...
...keep on making music for many more years to come. I like them because they just sound so different and unique to anyone else that I have ever heard anyway they dont follow the musical rowd and that makes them stand out, their lyrics and songs are just fantastic and even people who dont usually like their style of music will like this!! The tracks on the album include ones I have previously mentioned that we have all heard such as "Sex On Fire" & ...

Review of Only By The Night - Kings Of Leon

The first time I listened to this album I was quite literally blown away. This is one great CD, legendary you could say. It includes the two famous tracks "Sex On Fire" and Use Somebody" however there are two tracks on there that caught my eye. They are called Cold Desert and Closer, these tracks are fairly less known by others than the one's above. However if, like myself, you are a chillout person then I highly reccomend listening to these tracks. ...
...catchy beat and the lyrics are meaningful, just as the tracks "Closer" and "Cold Desert" are, they are very deep and meaningful lyrics. This is the latest album they have released so fasr, I'm not to know if there's another one on the way yet but I ave high hopes there will be. They are an amazing band and thet just keep on improving each year. This was shwn as they dominated the Brit Awards this year (2009). On the whole, a great by for a relaxing, ...

If you're only going to buy one album this year, '''make it this one'''. Although "Only By The Night" is very different from past KOL albums, it is undoubtedly hugely successful. The uber-hit "Sex on Fire" gives an insight into the simple brilliance of this album; it's the song that encouraged me to buy the album, after all. The subtle mix of Caleb's gravelly voice with some distinctive rhythms and guitar make for brilliant- and addictive -listening. ...
...of the songs. The new single "Use Somebody" is already becoming as big as it's preceder, and the album mirrors the same quality as the two singles. Far from becoming a sell-out, Only By The Night has proved that the southern rockers are only going to get better and better ...
