Kings of Leon Rock! March 29, 2008
Great album! i have all three, and this has to be the best. "on call" is a superb track, and this is great value as you get the live DVD also. They perform some classics on the DVD (the bucket, california waiting) and sound just as good live as on their albums (if not better!). Its a must for any fan
awesomeness!! April 12, 2007
I was really excited for this album coming out as i loved Aha Shake Heartbreak. I already loved it on the first listen through, I disagree with the people who say it hasnt developed from the first 2 albums. It absolutely has, stand out tracks for me has to be 'Black Thumbnail', 'Ragoo', 'Fans' and 'Arizona'. Any KOL fan should have this album, its an absolute must.
Harder, edgier a great tonic to the mass of nu punk March 14, 2007

The King's first two albums are great pieces of rock, melodic, witty and enduring. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this, lets face it more of the same would've been fine.
The album starts slowly and the first track 'Knocked up' isn't really indicative of the rest of the album tempo wise, it sort of eases you into their 'new' sound, or atleast the sound of this album. Its kind of similar to Kings of old. Then comes Charmer, this track really sets the stall out for the rest of the album. The sound is generally harder and edgier than Aha Shaker Heartbrake, melodies take a slight step back in favour of a more guitar driven, in places almost metal sound.
The result is a breath of fresh air when compared to all the soundalike nu punk bands around at the moment. To those on here who say this isn't a change of style, I disagree, just listen to tracks 2 through 9 and you'll see what I mean.
The other standout for this album is (just like the other Kings' album's) all the tracks are worthy of a listen. Very few bands make albums these days where you just stick the cd in and press play.

Love their first two albums, if you did too then no doubt you will love this. My only gripe is that they haven't really pushed things forward, we all thought Milk was a sign of things to come but a lot of this album plays it safe. Ragoo is great, the other tracks could come straight from their previous album. Nevertheless Kings Of Leon are still one of the best bands around and these new tracks will sound amazing live.
Absolutely devastatingly amazing 3rd album March 2, 2007

This is the album I have been waiting for, for years.
I have followed the Kings of Leon since first seeing them in the New Bands Tent at Glastonbury many moons ago, and have been a huge fan ever since.
No other band have touched me musically since their first album rocked it's way into my life, and I thought I had heard it all when the second album stormed it's way onto my playlist, but seriously, they have surpassed themselves.
This album is simply wonderful. It has a beating heart that kicks all sort of a**e in all sorts of directions.
I note that the previous reviewer says it's slower that Aha Shake Heartbreak.
I disagree.
How can Knocked up, On Call, McFearless, Ragoo or Fans be classed as slow ? And that's not even mentioning Charmer, the second track, that blew my mind when I first heard those stucco yelps.
I admit, there are a FEW slow ones, but that's on an album of 13 tracks. Hardly a majority.
All in all, this is an album that has totally gone beyond my wildest dreams as a third offering from a band that haven't really even made it in the US, and who owe all their success to a loyal fan base in the UK.
Musically, this album is just astounding. The drums are of a clarity I haven't heard since Secret Machines. The guitars are either fuzzy, crisp, or mind bendingly bendy. And they don't sound confused. It all fits together perfectly. And Caleb's singing is just insane. Enough said.
