Editorial Reviews

Review

3 stars out of 5 -- "ONLY BY THE NIGHT is packed with songs about being rootless, alienated, misunderstood....It's impressive stuff." --Mojo

"It conjures up images of a more refined band -- the songs have overall a slower pace, and so sounds more considered, more deliberate, more reflective." --Blender

Product Description

Exclusive UK only cover art. 2008 album from Alt-Rock heroes Kings of Leon, their highly anticipated fourth album. Only By The Night is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the footsteps of the bands' previous albums Youth And Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because Of The Times, which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around. 11 tracks including the single 'Sex On Fire'. Sony/BMG.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kings have matured!, March 11, 2009

The Followill guys have matured into a fine band. Their newest album is not for those who like simplistic straight forward music, this stuff will make you think. The Kings have thankfully left behind their early stuff where they sounded identical to The Strokes, The Hives, The Jets and that other junk.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!, November 19, 2009

I'll admit, I was a little skeptical about buying this album at first......seeing as how I was basing my reason for buying it soly on the hit single "use somebody". I thought it was going to be another album that had 3, maybe 4, alright songs on it. I was way off!!! The first time I put the CD in and pushed play, I was hooked. "Use Somebody" isn't even my favorite song on the album.....it's maybe 5th, maybe! :) I've had if for 4 days now and haven't taken it out of my player once! I just put the album on repeat and let it play over and over. Kings of Leon is now one of my favorite groups! I've now ordered their other albums and can't wait until they come in! I just wish I would have knew about them earlier so I could have been listening to the group longer! Buy the album, you won't regret it!!

I have been hearing and seeing on the internet all kinds of things about KOL...but Id never heard anything on the radio. I found them on amazon and decided to order this cd without ever hearing a single thing from these guys...Only by the Night is awesome, it's different and I can't wait for Come Around Sundown..already pre-ordered.
