BTW - do any of you slippery fucks have a copy of Frontier City? I made the mistake of buying the actual CD before I looked at iTunes. I'm not buying it twice.
No shit, I find it very flat and lacking in energy, the songs seem very samey in terms of tempo. I'm sure someone will do a detailed bpm analysis and show there is a greater than 12-sigma variation but that's just how it feels. The first 3 or 4 songs are pretty good, but it just never builds, it kinda peaks there and loses me afterwards.
BOTT is far superior imho.
this is gonna be No1 both sides of the atlantic at the same time! that takes some doing safe to say i think KIngs of Leon can now say they are right up the top as one of the biggest rock acts at the moment in the world!
Fair play though it is a fantastic album! they deserve it!
Whats the quote they have in the record industry:-
'You need to break America to make mega bucks but you need to break the UK to see whether your any good or not'
Well looks like they might have done both now!
that quote was not my quote! it was someone high up in the music industrybut can't remember who off the top off my head but i remember reading it in the Q magazine.
But the UK chart is a much better gauge for rock/indie bands to know whether your any good or not
Just heard Sex on Fire.
Man that is one tired formula.

220,000 copies in its first week here in UK that puts them in the very top bracket for album sales! U2 sold 180,000 for HTDAAB
Record sales, record sales. Whatever they can monitor anymore, if you like 'rock' in its most basic sense, this is a great record by a great band.
Why are you telling us this again ?
You DO realize HTDAAB, which is almost as average as the new KOL, sold over 1.2M in the UK and over 3M in the US right ? This will be lucky to do one tenth of that here in the US, 70,000 in the first week isn't terribly promising.
Crashed in at #5 , got it's ass kicked by the Pussycat dolls, will fall out just quickly, so much for "simultaneous #1" hype !
This album will sell more than 1.2mill here in UK for sure but then again us brits have always had a better taste in music hav'nt we!
Nice to see andyuk still hasn't stopped fellating this tepid album.
