Dejan Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Kings of Leon: 'Fun, Beach-Inspired' New Album Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon will hit the road this summer on 32-date North American tour, including a stop at their home state's Bonnaroo music festival June 11. What can fans expect from the SPIN cover boys live in their own backyard? Lots of new material from their follow-up to 2008's Grammy Award-winning release Only By the Night! "The record is coming along great," drummer Nathan Followill said during a Bonnaroo press conference today. "It will be tough to not play the whole [new album] at Bonnaroo. We're going to try to be very selective of what we play, but there will definitely be some new tunes." KOL have been in the studio working on their new album since the beginning of April -- but this time around, the boys switched things up. "[it was the] first time we ever recorded in New York City and we thought we'd come out with a darker record because we'd done all our records in either Nashville or Los Angeles where it's a little more chilled out," Followill says. "[but] I'll be damned if we didn't go in there and make a fun record! It's got songs that are beach-y and songs that are a little more like our Youth & Young Manhood days. We're super excited. It will be interesting to see how well received it is," he added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivet Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 ^I'm hoping not & I'm still in search of a job to afford tickets to Dallas :disappointed: I have to see them :sweatdrop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 ^ I'm hoping they do. I love that album (and yes, I have the prior albums ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 why the hell does this poll see the first two albums losing? they became irrelevant, over produced and a poppy cliche of their former selves after those two (fans and charmer aside). i remember seeing them in the good old days [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHKrzyFUph8]YouTube- kings of leon- spiral staircase live[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 i do have an ounce of respect for them though after they apologised for what they had become last year, saying they hated it too. hopefully that means any future releases will be a return to form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^ I kind of remember some of those comments, but, if I recall correctly, I don't think they were apologizing for their music. They were just apologizing for the fact that they've become so mainstream, and they thought it was bunk that people who otherwise would not listen to their music were now attending their concerts and buying their CDs. That's different from being apologetic about the type of music you've produced, as they have control over one (the music) but not necessarily over the other (the fan base).

Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 oh then i have less respect for them they should accept their shortcomings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^ Don't hold your breath. Nathan has called the new album "chilled out and beachy". Those aren't exactly adjectives I would use in describing a raw album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 looks like it'll be third album in a row i won't be purchasing, and the second in a row i won't be illegally downloading then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Only By The Night was good. And it got a lot of attention, I can see why so many people love it and how their fanbase grew from it Still, to those of us who were fans before OBTN it's quite a different direction it took from their southern rock; a different, quite amazing sound. I hope their next album is YYM/ASH-like. Those albums are fucking incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 they managed to pick up all the u2 and razorlight fans for the third album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Because of the Times is still fucking good stuff, too Who cares if they've managed to pick up fans on the way. They deserve to get noticed, I just wish it had been before OBTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 it wasn't as good as the first two albums though. nowhere near as good. i have nothing against bands who are well liked, or even overrated, i'm on a coldplay messageboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I like the three albums I have (I don't have the first album). However, the last two are my favorite. I just like the more melodic sound. It's the same critique I have of Pearl Jam for the No Code through Binaural years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 buy the first album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^ I will. I go to used record stores once a week, and I saw it there once. I should have grabbed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yes doooo it! :bomb: I won't lie, I downloaded OBTN right when it came out off of iTunes, I just recently bought BOTT ... I have to buy YYM and ASH ...and OBTN again, physical copy... I'm sure Hastings has 2for1 of YYM/ASH but i've got no money :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^ Yeah, I'll get it eventually. Only because I try to listen to everything by artists I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 i can't remember what it feels like to buy music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^ Haha...yeah, I get most of my music from other people or places, but no one has their first release. That's why I go to record stores - To fill in the blanks for cheap. I have a 40% off coupon that comes in the weekly paper, and I apply it to used music. I feel bad sometimes, but what can you do? I do try to buy albums by artists I really like (even though I don't always). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
