Let me guess. You're one of those "They Sold Out!" kinda guys and only prefer their music when they were underproduced and out of a garage?
The last two Kings of Leon albums were excellent, IMO.
The stigma on this board about KoL and their "selling out" astonishes me.
I've defending Green Day from sell out charges consistently on this board, but KoL are a different kettle of fish. They really are sellouts. They took everything interesting about their sound and chucked it overboard in order to make bland records to appeal to the mainstream. They completely changed their sound, and not in a way that shows musical growth.
Then they took potshots at their old fans who supported them when they were nobodies. They can get bent.
Their new stuff fricking sucks. It's pretty much the epitome of bland, soulless, corporate rock. they no longer write songs, they are just pushing product.
I actually like for obscure bands to become successful and make lots of money. I'm happy for the Black Keys, and I happily buy up each of their albums. I'm pumped the Avett Brothers are now getting mainstream success.
But Kings of Leon? frick those guys. frick them in their fricking holes. They are the worst kind of sellout. They just plain suck now.

Disagree.
This is what's great about this board. Music is something that most everyone will never agree upon and no one go Ted Bundy crazy on you like the Poli board.
I like the last two albums they pushed out. I don't know who produced them. I don't know where they came from. I don't know what went down. But the SOUND of the music was alright to me.
Now, to be fair, I've never really listened to their old stuff. I'm not exactly a musical connoisseur and half the bands on this board that are mentioned, I've never heard of.....because I don't go out of my way to find "underground" bands.
Unfortunately, I have young girls so I'm doomed to listening to pop on the radio when we're in the car. So, like I said, my musical choices aren't very broad nor refined.
But I do have my 7 year old jamming to 90's alternative. She does enjoy that.
