KOL have some good songs, but I do not care for this one.

I just don't care for this group

He'll just go to voice mail because Adam Clayton is already on the line.

KOL is good stuff...  But there older stuff is MUCH better... but this is still good... maybe it cuz I started listening to them before they made this more radio ready stuff... but still good.

I was never a fan of KOL b/c radio oveplayed "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire."  But I recently saw them play live and they've definitely grown on me.  I've since downloaded their latest album and many of their back catalog of songs.  Like someone else posted, some of the recent stuff is maybe ho-hum, but check out their older stuff.  They have more of a raw, unpolished sound reminiscent of grungy, dirty Southern rock.  If you listen to their old stuff and progress to the newer stuff, you can hear the maturity in their sound, from the lyrics to the rhythms.  They're almost like a totally different band.  Love it.

jeez KOL are boring!

Thanks RP for playing Kings Of Leon.   I heard them on Saturday Night Live for the first time last year and loved them. 

Meh.

Everything from Because of the Times to Only by the Night, to this new one...  all sound alike.  However, their older stuff (Holy Roller Novocaine, What I Saw, Youth and Young Manhood, Ah Shake Heartbreak) have a completely different sound.  Much more rock-a-billy almost.  Highlights would be Molly's Chambers and The Bucket.

Andy Summers called, he wants his echo guitar riff back.

The Kings of Leon get a LOT of air play on RP
I am really trying, but this band just doesn't do it for me
Every song sounds the same 

This guy should shut up when he sings.

Yeah yeah, I know. I should shut up when I type. Nevertheless....

Kings of Leon following Radiohead. Oh, what a feast . I hate muting numbers but this guy's voice just gets to my brain like cheesewire. He always sounds like he's straining to get a big log out.

I kinda like 'em, especially after seeing them live.  I think they do appeal to guys more than gals.

These guys so don't do it for me

I want to like these guys, their tunes are mostly likeable, but the lead guitarist uses the same rifs over and over throughout their songs.  And the lead singer is distinctive, but not in a good way.  Not intolerable, but gets more and more annoying with each song.

Me too - just the other way - sorry.  I'm a big non-fan.  I don't get them at all.  Everything from the grating vocals to the mediocre music.  Oh yeah, and the lyrics - bleh.

At least I can still skew the average rating...

Damm - took so long to craft mythoughful response that others beat to me to posting the first comment

I hold such a warm and positive regard for the Kings of Leon that it is difficult for me to hear Caleb's voice and then critique the music.But I cannot miss the opportunity to be the first to comment...

 I enjoyed this song from the first line.

Ok, I liked Aha Shake Heartbreak.  Loved Because of the Times.  Thought they completely sold out on Only By the Night.  So far I'm digging this.

OK, so as the sign in name implies...BIG fan of this band. However, unlike a lot of fans like me who have loved them since the beginning, I do not have a problem with the direction they're going in and find this album to be really really, it's a "grower" for sure ;)) As for this tune, the melody in the Chorus is just amazing...love it.
