Awesome album tho kings at thier best all the hits and much much more great music, the best thing from across the water for a big while.

I got told that Kings of Leon were excellent at T in the Park this year and i wasn't there. So i thought i'd buy the album to see how good they were, and i was not dissappointed. This album is excellent and i would probably go as far as to say, that this is the best recent album i've bought (just not quite as good as the old michael jackson stuff).

I decided to buy this CD as I have 2 other Kings of Leon CDs. I bought their second CD first for a mere £1 (without cover) in a Woolworth's sale, and I loved it immediately. I wasn't so keen on their first CD but they just get better and better and I love Because of the Times.

The Kings of Leon have been in my top 5 bands for a couple of years - I discovered them entirely by accident and was instantly hooked. I saw them on T in the Park - the first time since they got their new image - and they were every bit as inspirational as the first time I heard them.
This album represents the very soul of KOL - if you think you might like it on the basis that you like what little you've heard of them so far, BUY IT and I guarantee you'll be so so glad you did! Worth every penny of however much you pay for it - you will NOT be disappointed!

Great packaging,quick service........................................................................................................................................................................................

amazing album... I bought it after hearing On Call, but all of the songs are just as good if not better.

A good range of sounds but they still have that Kings of Leon feel about all of them.

i bought this album on the strength of the kings of leon' previous two albums. at first listen i admit i was a little disappointed. songs weren't immediately catchy and were less 'rocky' than their usual stuff. however, the more i listened to this album the better it got. the moody down tempo style of this album sort of grows on you, (great percussion on 1st track) and there's no mistaking their song writing ability. very rare for a band nowadays to bring out three good albums on the trot.

God this album is good. Ragoo is a real belter - one of the most memorable guitar riffs at the start. Loads of great little catchy bits and strung out lyrics. Mint voice too.

I thought album was better than last one i was surprised at how melodic the songs were sending me on a wave of euphoria until i was on the brink of exctasy

Kings of Leon have definatly changed since their earlier stuff. The tracks are more atmospheric (as has been said in a previous reveiw) and the bass has been upped for this album (you can feel it through every bone in your body). As a whole the album is great - there are several briliant songs, complimented by good and very listen-able 'lesser tracks'.

1.Knocked Up
This song is 7minutes long - it's good (quiet but smooth drumming; great bass, and then it all gets louder, which is good but seems a bit smudgy) but after 5minutes of it, becomes slightly tiring
2. Charmer
Much better - the screaming (very slight amount) rubbs off a more 'rock and roll' feel and the bass is excellent
3. On Call
Good bass again; quite a smooth easy-going song
4. Mcfearless
Good bass and guitar; more 'rythmic' singing - you can't help but move to it
5. Black Thumbnail
Great strumming; well complimented by drums and bass - it again makes you move to the music, but it's another long song. Not as tiring, however - the chorus is pretty 'rocked-up'
6. My Party
More strong bass and some great vocal work (assuming you like his voice) with the drums makes for a slick song with a nice breaking-up of style for the chorus
7. True Love Way
A quieter song, less striking but still smooth listening
8. Ragoo
Possibly the best track (either this or 9.). Some great lines and the singing lays down the slightly jaunty guitar, making yet another smooth ride. The chorus is a bit of a change of heart, but the kings manage to pull it off stylishly
9. Fans
Amazing song - the singing is great with the way Caleb (singer) pinches the lines in a such a different but beautiful way (this may sound wierd but I'm running out of adjectives!). The drumming and guitar doesn't get too overpowering and the bass is subtle but still enforces the choruses very well. The song also nods at the english (because kings are more popular over here), which is a nice touch
10. The Runner
Not a terrible song but probably the worst the album has to offer. The singing doesn't flow as well and the song seems spoilt (there's nothing wrong with the guitar, bass or drums)
11. Trunk
A forgettable song but a very easy-going one - especially the nice chorus ("woooooo")
12. Camaro
This song feels dragged out but is more of a jaunty, 'rocky' affair than the rest of the album. The singing feels more desperate and lacks the charm of the other tracks, bu there is some great guitar
13. Arizona
A swaying-lighter song. Slower but brilliant.

Overall, as I said, this is a great album and definatly worth your money and attention. It contains the lyrics which is always a plus for me (not for my friends and family though). I find it hard to classify the Kings of Leon. They are rock, but softer, possibly with a hint of Indie influence too.

A must for all KOL fans - an album with all memorable tracks, Caleb's voice continues to impress both live and recorded. The guitar and drums on this album are amazing and the combination does not disappoint. If you are a fan then buy it and if not give it a try.

very good CD. Well worth buying. I had heard good reviews about it so I decided to buy it and im impressed :)

So the Kings of Leon were faced with the prospect of the difficult third album, their first two were just brilliant. Youth and young manhood was fresh and sounded great anywhere, then Aha shake heartbreak came out around a year after the first album and was amazing seeing as the boys had to get it out this quickly. They look more time over this third album and almost 3 years after Aha shake heartbreak, Because of the times was released.

It shows the band taking a new direction, there are still the catchy lyrics and music with the perfect blend of hard rock guitar, amazing bass lines and some great drumming. It shows the band using new effects and also writing quieter songs with more meaning than songs in the first two albums. I don't really have a favourite song from this album as I find it way to hard to choose. It's between Knocked Up, Charmer and Arizona.

This is a must buy for anyone who is remotely into rock music, the album is so well rounded, so easy to listen to anywhere and it is just brilliant. Please buy it!

Excellent music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Absolutely fab. Decided to buy it because heard one track on the radio and quite liked it. The album is great and the more you listen to it, the better it gets. Something for everyone!

The CD arrived in good time and was of excellent condition. The price for the overall product matched the quality of the product.

Bought this for my groen up son, but had a sneaky listen to it before I gave it to him, having eclectic tastes where music is concerned I thought 'why not?!', was very pleaseantly surprised, it's really great!

Most of the negative reviews about this albumn have been based around its lack of riffy based, fun or 'Youth and Young Manhood' esque rockers. I can only say, if you want to hear this type of music then have another listen to their first two albumns: Kings of Leon are developing and with gusto if I may say so myself.

The albumn is very different and, as has been mentioned before, full of atmosphere. I think the guitar effects used in production are fantastically subtle and beautiful, allowing the vocals and bass line to carry the albumn. However, they drop in the odd fantastic rocky tune, such as 'My Party', which would rip the place apart at a live show.

Truly an albumn displaying a maturing band with many idea's which are intricate and working very well.

Without doubt the finest rock band around currently, this is a fantastic collection from start to finish, personally I haven't heard a bad track yet from the kings, but this disk has raised the bar, strong melodic guitar & bass licks, hard hitting drum beats, and amazing lyrics, the sand paper voice just works wonders with their own system of music, even a twinkling of keyboards. They truely are the Kings of the World not just Leon, I have booked to see them for the 2nd time, if you get the chance, they are brilliant live, and they raise the roof and the crowd is wild...Keep it up lads
