KINGS OF LEON returned with the release of their highly anticipated fourth album 'Only By The Night' in September through Columbia Records. 'Only By The Night' is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the footsteps of the bands previous albums 'Youth And Young Manhood', 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' & 'Because Of The Times', which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around.

This CD spent 2 months straight on repeat in my car, one of my favorites of ‘08. I highly recommend this CD to anyone looking for a great indie rock album in the vein of The Killers or My Morning Jacket. Stand out tracks include: Closer, Use Somebody, and I Want You. But you don’t have to take my word for it.

Despite a wave of criticism asserting that Kings of Leon's fourth full-length is "too commercial," Only by the Night may be the closest thing to a pitch-perfect album to drop in 2008. -- Jason Kirk (Amazon.com)
