    It's not bad. Pretty catchy chorus.

    Certainly not my Kings of Leon...but still I like that better than anything on Only By the Night aside from Crawl. I'll buy the album even though my fandom has taken a major dive
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    You know this song was written around the time of Aha Shake Heartbreak though.

    This might be the only thing we disagree on when it comes to our musical taste. I kind of enjoy the song and I plan on getting the new album when it comes out.

    Yeah, I used to be crazy about these guys. Seen them 6 times live. Considered them my 3rd favorite band. Then after (or during) the third album, they made a seismic turn in their style and completely lost me. I have a soft spot in my heart for "Revelry", but that's a circumstantial thing.

    I liked it. I'll be getting the new album.
    I kind of thought vocally it sounded a little like Dave Matthews in the chorus. It's not a bad thing.

    The song was better than sex on fire, a decent song but waaaay overplayed.

    I think it's a strong, catchy rock song.

    I dig it.

    Sounds like only by night round 2. Not really diggin it too much. KOL grew old pretty fast for me. rarely do I listen to them now.

    Although Southbound is a much better song IMO.

    it's ok. they played this when i saw them. wish they would have had the song "mary" as their first single though. I liked that one a lot. This ain't too bad though.

    Don't like the female backing vocals at all. Sounds like an 80's Coca-Cola commercial :oops:
    NERDS!

    This song is a mess. It’s like they’re singing one song, but playing a different song. The timing and emotion of the lyrics are out of sync with the music, almost like they took a church song and tried to turn it into a rock song and failed on both accounts. Even live, the singing doesn’t keep pace with the music, but, hey, in a live setting most people only hear the music, so they’ll probably survive this piece of crap. I won’t buy it or download it, because they didn’t even try to fix the arrangement problems and when you think you’re that big, it’s time for me to move on.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
