Kings of Leon hail from Tennessee, but the band probably wouldn't get very far on "Nashville Star." The family foursome (including three brothers and a cousin) makes guitar- and bass-heavy Southern rock that just sounds unwholesome. And that's precisely why I like it.
I was a big fan of the band's debut album, Youth & Young Manhood, and though I could never really get into 2005's Aha Shake Heartbreak, I'm heartened by what I've heard off of the band's new album, Because of the Times, which comes out today. In particular, I'm liking the gradual swagger of "Fans" and the space-age organ on "On Call," which you can listen to when you read more

i loved "king of the rodeo" off of aha shake heartbreak, but this is pretty good too
1Not bad. Not as good as anything on "Youth and Young Manhood," though. Although it's inspired me to listen to Y&YM, which I haven't heard in a long, long time.
2I didn't even know these guys until this album and now I absolutely love "Knocked Up" out of it..."On Call" is though is great, too..
3I love the album in it's entirety it's one of the few I can listen to all the way through and not skip a song
