Kings of Leon are due to release their 4th record titled ‘Only by the Night’ on September 23rd. This is not the Kings of Leon we are used to. While some say KOL has ‘improved’ their sound, others are wondering what the hell happened. Where did our Southern Rockers go? I’m not sure, and I don’t know if I like the new album from what I’ve heard so far. “Crawl” is the best song I’ve heard from the album, because it still gives off that King’s vibe most people dug in the first place. Skipping to other tracks like “Be Somebody,” sounds like a completely different band. A band i’m not sure I would have started listening to about 6 years ago. They sound a little bit too polished. Or in this case, more of a band that wanted to- but couldn’t pull off the transition right. I guess we’ll will have to wait to hear the album in full and I really hope it has a few old Kings of Leon gems on it.
