Slow Night, So Long

The Kings of Leon are one of the truest rock and roll bands in the world right now. They play the type of rock music that your parents will probably dig because it's a throwback to the golden age of the genre. Their first two albums, Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak, were definite rock masterpieces flawed only by an obsession with promiscuity and hard partying. The forthcoming Because of the Times finds the band thematically tackling different issues and writing some catchy ass tunes along the way.

I'm sharing my favorite tune (so far) from the disc, a catchy little affair known as "Fans", which moves forward brilliantly thanks to a jangly little guitar riff. This album will be up there with the best of 2007 which is a year that has already proven to be golden for music releases.
