KINGS OF LEON "because of the times" cd, 2007
their third (anyone noticed a pattern forming here?).....
holding on to their southern rock feel here, but not fully grasping it,
elements of (dare i say it?!) U2 here and there with the guitars sounding like The Edge in places,
prominent bass and synths at times too but still a genuine rock sound overall.
songs are definitiely sounding more intricate and the band more confident with stepping outside their confort zone also...
more of what we would call an altrnative rock sound here...
their first to peak at #1 in the UK, will take anothoer album to do so in Australia (#4) and Canada and America finally starting to come on board (#31 and #25 respectively)
all up another great album from the band, a solid 2.7 rating here...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
