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

Double LP - both LP's are 180 gram vinyl. Beautiful gatefold sleeve with spot-varnished art. Includes the non-cd track "Frontier City." Starting with the haunting guitar riff of the opening track "Closer" through the melodic, stadium friendly strains of the first single "Sex On Fire", to the closing refrain of "Cold Desert", "Only By The Night" firmly places Kings Of Leon in a musical class shared by very few. US headline tour begins in mid-October.

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.

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.
