Why no one is talking about "notion" and "I want you" surprises me, two of the stronger songs on the album. Yes it is more polished music and sure the lyrics are still lacking but what people seem to have a problem with is that they sound different. Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, etc., etc. All of them grew very quickly, changing sounds from album to album. It was many records later that they all came back to the sound they started with and put out classic records. Blood on the tracks a return for dylan, Some girls for the stones. Im not comparing the Kings of leon's music to these other artists, Im just saying they are young and are going to change. But not to worry they're not finished with the hard rock sound. I personally would like to see them put out some honky tonk/ blues. we'll see what happens. Best songs on the new album. closer, crawl, notion, i want you
beers and cheers to you my friend....
the songs you mentioned aren't my favorite, but your reasoning is spot-on i think...
reminds me of RYAN ADAMS too.... i mean, HEARTBREAKER was classic and GOLD was near-classic and so is LOVE IS HELL. But then there was ROCK-N-ROLL and DEMOLITION... but now he's back to making great albums like COLD ROSES and EASY TIGER...
i'll say this newest album is near-great, but not as great as AHA SHAKE HEARTBREAK and BECAUSE OF THE TIMES......
"near-great" and "near-classic" are new categories i just invented... enjoy them.
