KINGS OF LEON NEW ALBUM DETAILS

[martha]

I remember being underwhelmed seeing them open for U2, but have since grown to like their sound.

They have improved tremendously live. Their headlining show was one of the best concerts I saw in whatever year I saw it.

 

[andyuk]

This band so so good i just can't wait for the new album. Lots of early reviews have said there new album sounds very atmospheric and very U2! so can't bloody wait!

 

[andyuk]

The song 'Crawl' is turning into my fav song of the year! Radio 1 has it as the 'Hottest Track In the World' !

 

[andyuk]

OMG! i just heard their first single of the new album called 'Sex On Fire' and it is F***ing amazing! it really is awesome its all over Radio 1 as its just been released to Radio

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Sex on Fire????

Really?

Wow, thats' awesome. That totally sounds like a song title that my band would come up with. Nice.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ok, so I have now listened to Sex On Fire like 7 times since I downloaded it less than an hour ago. It cooks. That's some hot shit.

"Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy this sex is on fireeeee"

Don't know of any leaks, but if the song they're playing on their MySpace video teaser for the album, where they're playing live in the studio, is 'Use Somebody' . . . then, yes, it is very U2ish!

They were the best concert I saw in whatever year I saw them headline at the Greek. (I know, I've said that before.) You'll enjoy this one.

I think this will be only the fourth concert that I've ever gone to, just me, all by myself. I hope to have a blast!

What album should I start with, getting into Kings of Leon?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Just downloaded and am listening now!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

What album should I start with, getting into Kings of Leon?

Just get all the albums. You can't go wrong.

But I started with Youth and Young Manhood, the debut. And that worked for me. Although I'm thinking now that their best work is probably Aha Shake Heartbreak, the second album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Closer was an interesting atmospheric album opener, it didn't immediately grab me though.

Use Somebody is an instant-classic song.

And I really like Manhattan, too.
