I have been a pretty casual fan of these guys since "Youth and Young Manhood" in 2003, always loved their raw energy and bluesy/southern rock jam stlye but F**K man, they are evolving into a KILLER band. Their melodic sense and overall songwriting is becoming stellar. I saw them live in NYC Tues for the new CD kick off and these guys are and insanley good live act as well. Dare I say it:

Kings of Leon are THE BEST American band out right now!!

Check out:

"Fans", "Arizona", "Pistol of Fire", "Red Morning Light", "Four Kicks", "Notion", Manahattan", "Closer", "Ragoo", "The Bucket", "Taper Jean Girl", "Sex on Fire" (latest single), "Cold Desert" and "Molly's Chambers"...among many other awesome tracks.

Definitely a more mello/melodic tune for them but still great...not sure I hear the Phil Collins thing but it's certainly more "pop-ish" than some earlier tunes.

Be a far better sound if they ditched the singer.

Very curious, as most fans and even casual listeners love Caleb's voice and I think it's a signature of the band, and getting even better with latest releases.

naw that's bull****, I love the Kings and all but the singer is the one of the only things that keeps the bands unique.

On another note, how do people like the new album?

If you think there the best ok, your choice, but i hope you dont think they are the most talented.

The debate of "most talented" could go on and on and on..."Franklin Bridge" from Philly are uber-talented, but are they putting out the best music, I think not.

Kings of Leon just have all the essential elements of a great band:

-Excellent songs/songwriting
-Cool image
-Great live show/sound
-A "buzz" about them
-Talent
-A stable of songs that are all good, but varied in tempo/style
