Kings of Leon return with the release of their highly anticipated fourth album 'Only By The Night' on 22nd September through Columbia Records. 'Only By The Night' is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the footsteps of the bands previous albums 'Youth And Young Manhood', 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' & 'Because Of The Times', which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around.

A Must Have
Simply put, a fantastic CD. Whether you prefer old bluesy stuff like the Rolling Stones or newer stuff like Arctic Monkeys, etc. this should appeal to one and all. Despite the nice production, the album still has a certain grittiness to it that makes it seem to jump out of your speakers.
A liitle late with this...
Every release from the Kings of Leon has been purchased by myself, if not on the day of release, certainly within the first week of it hitting shelves.
Into the Night was no different, however my review comes many months later??
This album was released just as I was begining a new job and was a great companion during my new longer commute to work. Again the band built upon the new directions found in their 3rd album while still retaining the heartfelt swagger of the 1st and 2nd and you can be guaranteed I will be there up front waiting for their 5th ablum.
I also love that this album has brought the band to be recognised by a much wider audience and are now part of the fabric and fashion of today, for some bands this would mark the end of creativity, however i'm confident the Kings of Leon are going to continue to surprise us all!
O thank goodness!
I wasn't sure what to make of the direction of 21st-century rock until I discovered these guys. I mean, life was okay with Jimmy Eat World and Coldplay, but those bands have a bit of a sanitized sound. The Kings of Leon, however, have a gritty, gravelly sound, actually know how to play a variety of instruments and can produce an album with three or more songs you might want to hear more than once. U2 might be able to hand the pop-rock baton over to these gents. "Closer," "Crawl," "Sex on Fire," "Use Somebody," "Manhattan" and "Be Somebody" are all good to great songs, with "Revelry," "Notion," "17," "Cold Desert" and "Frontier City" ringing in as "okay." "I Want You" has WAY too much cowbell (MORE COWBELL!). Kings of Leon is a refreshing addition to the rock world.
great music
CDs like this one don't stay in top selling status for a year for no reason. I finally got this and am glad I did. Just really good music, distinctive and original.
addicted
I can't get enough of the lead singer's sexy voice! I listen to it all the time.
