I must admit this is my fav KOL album by far. The start of the album is quite dark and I really like it. The sreaming of the second track caught me off guard though!
I love the screaming and the "ohhh oh ohh ohhh ohhhh oh"'s
"Be what you want to be, see what you came to see"
“I can’t really get into this one,” Caleb sighs. “This one’s kind of bad. I love the desert and I hold Arizona close to my heart, but me and Nathan went there and we had quite a few different substances, and we decided to go to this brothel. I guess I am telling you, aren’t I? This is a real heartbreaker.
“We walked in and I looked around and there was one young girl who was so beautiful that all I could think was, ‘What happened in her life that could bring her here?’ as opposed to, ‘Yeah! I’ll take that one!”
So you left?
“No, I took an ugly one. I knew how she ended up there.”
"Be what you want to be, see what you came to see"
I had no idea how young they were! one of em's like 19 eh?
i think he only picked the bass up 5 years ago and this is his third album :eek:
McFearless is fucking amazing.. the whole album is fantastic... roll on June for the new White Stripes and i'm a happy man
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I just did search for Pixies in this thread because I knew someone had to have brought this up already.
It's in no way a rip off of the pixies I don't think... but if you mention them I'd say "Planet of Sound" by the Pixies comes to mind when I hear Charmer

Nah, it's not a rip-off, it just has that same feeling as a pixies song. I don't know the Pixies that well, but they came to mind when i first listened to charmer.
I only lied because it was the easiest way to get what I wanted.
because of the times is fucking awesome !!!!
I didn't know this band. Since everybody on this board seemed to like them, I bought their new album yesterday... thanks to everybody for the piece of advice. They are really really good... And I'm going to see them in Werchter, the same day as PJ is playing !!

yeah i can understand that. i think it's the bassline.
i like KoL way more than i like pixies but i like 'planet of sound' more than i like 'charmer'.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

In agreeance but Charmer is fucking awesome though, as is the whole album, I cant stop listening, fucking blown away by the first 4 tracks, the rest of the album aint quite as good as those, but fuck me if it was then I'd be calling this the best album since V's.
Actually Bone Machine comes to mind more than Planet of Sound to me personally.
While on semi-pixies talk... you guys should check out Frank's new solo album Bluefinger.. some say some of the tracks were for the now shelfed new pixies album.. and you can tell.. it's not better than any pixies albums but its definitely up there with his best solo work!

what is it about the charmer that makes you think of bone machine?
but whatever pixies song 'the charmer' reminds us of, the general consensus is yep it sounds like pixies. this morning in my paper a reviewer said,'... the charmer follows immediately with a bass line and urgent scream that repositions the pixies for the southern rock set....'
hear my name

There was an interview recently in which Caleb stated that he has been writing new songs already.
I'll post it in a min.
Kings Of Leon working on new material
Caleb's writing the follow up to 'Because Of The Times'
42 minutes ago
Despite their new album having been released just a week ago, Kings of Leon are already well into writing material that may well feature on their fourth record.
Speaking to NME.COM, frontman Caleb Followill revealed he has been working on brand new material but is avoiding adding lyrics just yet.
"I'm writing stuff right now, but I'm trying not to write the lyrics because as soon as they' lyrics are written we're going to want tp play it. Our record's ( 'Because Of The Times') been finished for about a year and we've been sitting her twiddling our thumbs waiting for the label to put it out, so we're ready to continue on writing songs.
Having entered the UK charts at number one, the album is one that Followill is currently proud of
"For the most part, if I can listen to it and not jump off a bridge, then I think it's good' he reveals 'I don't sit around listening to our music, but the other day my cousin wanted to hear it, and so I put it on and it was the first time I listened to it since we recorded it sounded good and fresh and I was proud of it."
Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

I love the screaming and the "ohhh oh ohh ohhh ohhhh oh"'s
But seriously what an album, cant wait to actually own the Cd
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
And “Arizona?”
“I can’t really get into this one,” Caleb sighs. “This one’s kind of bad. I love the desert and I hold Arizona close to my heart, but me and Nathan went there and we had quite a few different substances, and we decided to go to this brothel. I guess I am telling you, aren’t I? This is a real heartbreaker.
“We walked in and I looked around and there was one young girl who was so beautiful that all I could think was, ‘What happened in her life that could bring her here?’ as opposed to, ‘Yeah! I’ll take that one!”
So you left?
“No, I took an ugly one. I knew how she ended up there.”

Nothing beats it and if the music is good and good to me, I have no issue with paying for it.
It's the very least I can do.
