Viewer Reviews of KINGS OF LEON - ONLY BY THE NIGHT
 | They'll be Kings of the world soon enough, but at what price? - Feargal DalyOnly By The Night is the Kings of Leons 4th album and also the 4th album title to contain five syllables (I'll let you go through them in your head before continuing...done? Ok, moving on) The similarities stop there however as this album could be mistaken for an entirely new band. Only By The Night is their true break out into the mainstream as the more ... |
 | Well I like it!!! - GrainneA huge departure from "Because of the times"?, "Only by the night" is definitley the bands attempt to move into the main stream, a fact the band haven't denied. "Sex on Fire", "Use Somebody" and "Revelry" were without doubt, written to fill stadiums and "Cold Desert" to melt hearts. This album may more ... |
| Biggest let down of the year - GBPure middle of the road mediocrity . I'm flabbergasted that people not only like this album , but some think its KOL's best . THEIR BEST !?!? What happened to the band that where lined up to be the next Rolling Stones ? What happened to the balls to the wall dirty southern rock and rollers that shouted and screamed their way to popularity with "Youth more ... |
| Cut a bitta slack - LordFarquaadAll ive heard is people complain about this album not being up to scrath, but there are seriously good tracks on there. It might not be aka shake heartbreak or YAYM but there is seriously great music that'll be great to hear live. 'Closer', for example, is a song has completely grown on me and i think people should give the album that extra listen with a more ... |
| best ablum so far - holzthis is amazing ablum...the songs are the pure class....'sex on fire' and ' use somebody' are the best songs..! the lyrics are actually mean something and the tunes are going to be great live!..how can this be a bad ablum when the first single they release from it becomes number 1....they are amazing...!!! more ... |
| Not a patch on the first 2 - MarkHave to agree with the review which states that every time I try to listen to this album I always end up switching it off and putting on "aha shake heartbreak" or "youth and young manhood" instead. To be honest wasn't overly impressed with "Because of the times" either when compared to the first two (probably 3 stars). I think more ... |
| It's Alright., It's Alright. - smellthecrayonsThis album has its ups and its downs. A Couple songs such as Crawl and Sex on Fire are amazing and addicting to listen to. However most of the other songs blend in to one; in fact I can't quite distinguish between Use Somebody and Be Somebody. Personally, I would recomend their previous albums; though not as highly praised, or as popular, they deliver a more ... |
 | Weak Transition - Fabien OmanThe Kings of Leon have recognised how close they are to realising their potential. The band, fresh from the dizzying high of headlining Glastonbury, can clearly fill stadiums, but can the untamed sound we love them for? Sadly they appear to have decided not. Much like the Strokes First Impressions of Earth, Only By The Night was made with stadiums in mind. more ... |
 | Not their best work - movieloverI totally agree with DeclanClancy. I hate going to a concert and meeting people who don't know the name of the band's first album. I was hoping that Only by the Night would continue in their greatness, but i was slightly disappointed. I only immediatly loved 3 songs (Use Somebody reminds me so much of Snow Patrol, thank god for KOL's unique voice!) Fingers more ... |
| Kings of Leon sell out? - DeclanClancyThere are very much two different types of Kings Of Leon fan. There are those who fell in love with the raw and wonderful "Youth and Young Manhood" and "Aha Shake Heartbreak" and the fans who jumped on the bandwagon after the third album. I'l make no bones about it, i'm firmly in the former camp and as such find this album quite more ... |
 | Very, very average. - JohnBI've tried to like this album, I really have. But whenever I listen to it, it just makes me want to listen to their previous album "Because of the Times" instead - a far more textured, mature piece of work. This album seems like it's trying to be a little too stadium/arena rock and completely disposing of what made this band unique in the first more ... |
 | Good - LockyAs a non-metal head, I thought this album was pretty good. Crawl is a great tune. It's a good album and I hate all that metal, dark shite and depressing pointless moaning about crap. This is good. more ... |
| amazing album - sarahthe album everyone has been waiting for since oxegen has been well worth the wait.. kings are finally getting the recognition they deserve.. use somebdy and manhattan are classic tunes, closer is so dark, the big hits sex on fire crawl and amazing songs such as 17 and be somebody just make this my favourite album of the year so far love the band for years more ... |
| Doesn Lauren Murphy have ears? - Claire'its stripped-down, less bombastic nature' Has this girl really listened to Kings of Leon's back catalogue? This album is far from stripped down and without a doubt more bombastic than previous work. Just listen to Closer and Crawl. I also must disagree that the album is reliant on Caleb followill's vocals. This album is very guitar driven driven, in more ... |
