From their new album being released next month apparently.

http://radioactive.kingsofleon.com/

Link takes you to a youtube clip on their homepage.

Figured some would be curious. Sounds like they're keeping the gravy train rolling.

Flame away!

Didn't listen to this song yet. But I liked their first album a lot. Personally, I have not disliked anything that I have heard from these guys.

I really liked their first two albums, but after that I think they have just been sucking harder and harder as time goes. Will still go spin the first couple though.

Just listened. It's not bad, per se. It's just meh.
Pretty much the worst thing that I have heard from them yet.

Did someone else post this on Ob? Forget how I got the link. Anywho, apparently the band has a rather high attitude of itself.

FU Dave posted it on Facebook and I made the argument that that's exactly how rock stars are supposed to act. Those other acts should be carrying their amps.

Still crazy to me to see that they're so big. They don't get much attention down here. They're ok, but damn they have some pretty ravenous fans. I still have the first 2 albums but not spun very often until today for fun.

I'm glad they prevented me from listening to the tune by the absurd "not available in your country" tag.

Now that early fans really hate them, the next step is alienate the new fans. I hope they start churning 'em out like Weezer.

I love the hate though. It makes me want to like this more and more.

Yes.

It's awesome we get this same thread every month or so. Saves me from having to type "tired, repetitious opinions on Kings of Leon" into the search engine.
