Kings Of Leon are an award winning rock/alternative band from Tennesee, USA. The are well known for their unique style of bluesy rock and catchy festival anthems. This album, in my opinion is the best, closely followed by their latest, 'Only By The Night'. It is full of catchy riffs, brilliantly written lyrics and amazing vocals from Caleb. They have their own style of music that I don't think anyone will ever be able to recreate, they have fans all over the world and if you listen to this album then you will see why. Kings Of Leon are very poular at festivals like Glastonbury, the tracks on this album never fail to have people shouting back the lyrics and jumping around in mosh pits! The members of Kings Of Leon are: Caleb Followill, Nathan Followill, Jared Followill and Matthew Followill. So far they have released four studio albums with another due to be released next year.

My Favourite Tracks


====================
03. Sex On Fire
====================
This is the track that made this album so popular. Catchy riffs, great lyrics and a definite crowd pleaser at any gig or festival. The only thing that I don't like about this track is how commercialised 'Sex On Fire' made the Kings of Leon. Great for the band but not do good for hardcore fans! The opening riff is attention grabbing and every line from there on is so catchy that it will have you singing them back in no time. I'm not as fond of this track as when I first heard it as I think that it has ben played on the radio and music channels a bit too much now but it's still good all the same. "Hot as a fever, rattling bones, I could just taste it, taste it, if it's not forever, if it's just tonight, oh it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest, you, your sex is on fire, consumed with what's to transpire". 9/10.

====================
04. Use Somebody
====================
This is the second track that Kings of Leon released as a single, just as succesful as 'Sex On Fire' in the charts, if you give it a listen then I'm sure you will hear why! Again it's full of catchy riffs and great lyrics with fantastic vocals from Caleb. I think the thing that made this track such a big hit is the chorus because it's something that everyone will be able
