So for my next choice I am going for 'Only By The Night' by Kings Of Leon. Now this album already has been high up in a lot top albums polls already this year. I don't see this as a bad thing as I know some of my peers would do. 'You should never go for the obvious choices!' But who cares, I think this album is possibly the best work to date. Kings of Leon are a very accessible band, that's not a criticism its just fact.
On this album they have definitely pushed themselves to become of the big hitters when it comes to successful bands. Whether or not they did this purposefully I don't know and to be honest I don't care. This record for me is catchy, melodic, infectious and a small stroke of genius to boot.
Listen to tracks like Crawl or Sex On Fire and tell me they don't make you just wanna shout out and jump about. That bassline especially on Crawl, fuck its brilliant. I have a big things for tracks with great basslines at the moment and that is definitely a favourite. The album has this kind of breezy feel to it too. It flows from one song to the next easily, which I think the last two albums struggled to do.
But if I hear the term 'sold out' again when this album is talked about I will go mental. They did this album in only a couple of months which for me show signs of passion and a want more attitude. No way is this a sign of selling out more a sign for wanting they deserve.
