    i agree. just look at how they have grown over the course of their 5 albums. also they are prolific. how many current bands out there have put over 5 records in less than 10 years? not very many...

    Love Kings Of Leon. I think all five albums are very very good, but my overall favourite is Youth and Young Manhood. While I am really loving Come Around Sundown, my favourite song off any album has to be Revelry. It just takes me to another place when I listen to it. Love it.

    Agreed.

    I've tried their music, but I mostly find it annoying.

    They have grown on me with each album ... I really like Come Around The Sundown ... Pickup Truck is a beautiful track ... if they keep going from strength to strength I could see them slowly moving into Black Crowes style longevity

    Wish they didn't have the celeb crowd hangers on though :twisted:

    I didn't mind their first 2 albums when they cared more about their music than what they looked like, I found them more original than what they come up with now.

    New album is growing on me, but some of the songs are boring.

    1- Because of the Times
    2- Aha Shake Heartbreak
    3- Only by the Night
    4- Youth and Young Manhood

    Not sure where the 5th one fits in - 4th or 5th, but it's ok.

    check out youtube clips from their first two albums...then compare to their recent stuff. ordinarily I could care less how bands dress, but this is case is ridiculous.

    also, their new music blows

    I'd rank them

    1 - Aha
    2 - Youth
    3 - Because

    after that it doesn't matter

    wow youth and manhood 4th? i'd probably rank them in the order they came out, depending on the last one.

    because of the times is great though. i think it gets knocked because of how different it was than the first two but i love it. i was rocking it out at the gym this morning. :lol:
