5.0 out of 5 stars Best song of this Century!!, June 28, 2010

The 1st Time I heard Sex On Fire, I was amazed at the sensual vocals. I had to go out and buy EVERY CD put out by Kings of Leon and even their B-Side singles. Caleb Followill has the most unique voice I have ever heard. Their past work really needs to be discovered by the masses. Go out and get Because of the Times, my favorite KOL CD but even Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak are both great CDS. Just an incredible body of music. AND don't get me started on their B-Sides... GEMS... that deserve their very own CD... Beneath the Surface and Frontier City!!! soooo great... and so many more B-sides...

4.0 out of 5 stars There's Just Something About It, August 27, 2010

I first heard this song months ago after seeing it on a top something or other chart and listening to it through a download service. I didn't get through the whole thing before turning it off.

Then a couple of days ago, while looking through my cable company's OnDemand menu of all things, I heard it again as part of an advertisement for a concert with behind the scenes interviews. For days, that song haunted me. There's really no other word for it. I couldn't get that wail out of my head. I never was able to find that concert on OnDemand so I ended up back at my download service. I listened to the song again. Not just this song but the entire album.

When you listen to song after song, the band's flaws become obvious even to a tin ear like myself. They don't play that well. Sounds like if they got anything too complicated to play, they'd be in real trouble. The lyrics are often awful if not downright unintelligible. "We'll teach this city to kiss these thighs" (or some such nonsense). And the singer doesn't have that great of a voice. And you can only sometimes understand what's he's singing to begin with.

But you know what? All those "negatives" come together and cancel each other out enough to make a couple of really good songs. The hook is catchy, the music just right and the singer's wail is pitch perfect. (no pun intended).

"Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody" are my favorites. But I also enjoyed "Closer", "Revelry" and "17". I ended up buying the entire album.

This song is excellent. I really like the guitar in this also. The Kings of Leon group just gives us a song that has feeling and passion!
