Only By The Night - Kings of Leon Reviews

To a lot of people, Only By The Night is the first they have heard of Kings of Leon. What a perfect album to shoot them into the limelight. It is certainly a 'chill out' album, the meaningful lyrics and gentle guitar riffs make it suitable for anytime of the day. Caleb's voice is truly one in a million, this is what makes Kings of Leon so good, ...  Read the complete review

The latest album from the followill brothers sees a progression and development from their previous albums that had been orientated towards garage rock to more of a stadium sized sound. The album includes the massive hit single 'Sex on Fire' and other hit single 'Need Somebody' As mentioned, the album does has a big sound that seems ideal for ...  Read the complete review

This is the album that made them Kings. With over 2 million copies sold, it's their biggest selling album yet. Its been in the charts for months on end, and its made them THE band of 2008. But is this as good as it is credited to be? Well, te album features hauntingly beautiful lyrics, for example in the slurred tones of Cold Desert: ...  Read the complete review

***Kings of Leon*** The basics: Kings of Leon are an American family rock band, made up of 3 brothers (Caleb, Nathan & Jared) and 1 cousin (Matthew), strangely each member of the group is known by their middle name. I had heard of Kings of Leon from my friends but I did not really know that much about them until the ...  Read the complete review

After hearing nothing but rave reviews about this album from pretty much everyone I know I thought Id give it a listen (even though this isnt really my type of music) and tell everyone what I thought about it, and now Ive become another huge fan!! So much so I even went out and brought their previous albums just to see if they were as ...  Read the complete review

ONLY BY THE NIGHT is the title of American indie rock band KINGS OF LEON's album. The album consists of 11 tracks which I will review. The opening tune CLOSER is a powerful opener with amazing vocals from the of. The instrumental work is immense and sets a marker instantly.

I wasn't really a Kings of Leon fan until I saw them live at Glastonbury in 2008 & was just blown away. They were amazing and put on a really good live show with an electric atomsphere. So this is there forth & probably most commercial album to date. This is due largely to the success of "Sex On Fire" which topped the ...  Read the complete review

The fourth album and so far most commercial release by Kings of Leon. As soon as I heard "Sex On Fire" on the radio for the first time I immediately thought they had targetted a new audience in an attempt to sell more records. I think the fact that the track became their first UK number one single proves my point ...  Read the complete review

Only by the Night is the Kings of Leons 5th album and i would recommend it to anyone - not just people who are in to their rock/indie music. The songs are varied in this album and some quite mellow unlike the first couple of albums that were more "hard rock". You could quite easy put in on for some background music or really ...  Read the complete review

"Only By The Night" is a brilliant album. The album sees Caleb Followill's voice and melody at it's greatest, especially in songs such as "Crawl". It also sees drummer Nathan Followill's drumming improving once again, his drumbeats are so complex and syncopated and play between and beneath the music so well. However I believe ...  Read the complete review

I never really managed to really get into all this new indie music scene until I heard my dad playing 'Crawl' by Kings of Leon when I visited him a while ago. I was blown away by it and had to investigate further and I went off to buy the album Only By The Night. Hearing the starting track 'Closer' for the first was quite an ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of my favourite albums in the last decade!without fail every single song on the album is great. It is hard to believe that this kind of music is still around, even though it is modern, it seems like an album from the 70's. There are a lot of rock songs but also some very chilled out songs with very well written lyrics! it is ...  Read the complete review

Not one bad track in my mind, a class album from a band who have matured well into the limelight. Kings of Leon know how to deliver and this album brings no exceptions. The seductive opening in Closer just instantly relaxes you and sets up the rest of the album nicely. In fact the whole album in general is pretty damn sexy. Sex On Fire ...  Read the complete review

Only By The Night is Kings of Leon's 4th album and was released in 2008, this album has been massive this year and has done great on the charts.

Their name is based around their Father and Grandfather, They were both known as Leon. The band consists of Four brothers.

Now a lot of older Kings of Leon fans will put people off this album by saying things like "It's their worst album yet, you'd know that if you were a fan" and "It's just for commercial purposes". Now I don't know about the second comment but i've got to say, the first comment is a complete load. In fact, I would actually say ...  Read the complete review

Had heard all the hype about KOL, had heard that the album was 'amazing' and left it a while before going out and buying it. I don't like to listen to hype too much as I tend to be dissapointed when things aren't as great as they are built up to be. Finally bought it a month ago and it has been playing in my car ever since! Before KOL I was ...  Read the complete review

Only by the night was the fourth studio album released by the American band kings of leon. I had enjoyed their last album quite a bit but hadn't heard of them until that and even after their third album they still weren't huge over here. As soon as this album came out last year though it all kicked off for them, in my eyes this was the best album ...  Read the complete review
