Album Description
Available in:
Only by the Night es el cuarto álbum de estudio de la banda de rock estadounidense Kings of Leon, lanzado en todo el mundo en septiembre de 2008. La escritura del cuarto álbum de la banda comenzó pocos días después del lanzamiento del tercero, Because of the Times. El álbum fue grabado por los productores Angelo Petraglia y Jacquire King hasta febrero de 2008 en los estudios Blackbird de Nashville.
Only by the Night experimentó un éxito comercial, ubicándose dentro del top 10 de más de 10 países diferentes. El álbum fue certificado como el álbum más vendido en Australia, certificado nueve veces platino. También pasó a ser el álbum más vendido de 2008 en Australia, el tercer álbum más vendido de 2008 en el Reino Unido, ganando dos Brit Awards y el décimo octavo álbum más vendido de la década de 2000 en el Reino Unido. Además, dos sencillos del álbum han tenido altas listas, "Sex on Fire" llegando al número uno en Irlanda, el Reino Unido, Australia y en Hot Modern Rock Tracks de los Estados Unidos, y al número dos en Nueva Zelanda. El segundo sencillo del álbum "Use Somebody" también se ubicó en el número dos en el Reino Unido y en el número dos en Australia, además de ser el primer éxito entre los 10 primeros de la banda en los Estados Unidos. El álbum fue nominado como Mejor Álbum de Rock en la 51a edición de los Premios Grammy con la canción "Sex on Fire" recibe dos nominaciones en sí.
"Sex on Fire" se ubicó en el número uno en Triple J Hottest 100, 2008, con "Use Somebody" en el número tres, "Closer" en el número 24 y "Crawl" en el número 70.
User Album Review
The album that the world's been waiting for Kings Of Leon to make.
As if their towering headlining performance at Glastonbury wasn't enough, here comes the Southern-fried quartet's fourth album to prove once and for all that Kings Of Leon are now bona fide world-beaters.
In the context of a career arc this level of creativity makes perfect sense. Their sound has had a good five years to grow from post-adolescent indie to full-blown, manly stadium glory. All those U2 support slots have now been fed back into the machine. And, like U2, a timely change of production team (losing Ethan Johns but retaining Angelo Petraglia) brings a new focus. Nathan Followill's drums have to be one of the most perfect rock engines around at the moment. They never swamp a ticking grower like I Want You but still throw enough flourishes to push the songs into the red. Meanwhile cousin Matthew's guitar scorches the mix like a flamethrower. Filled with string-bending clichés; but cliches of the most enjoyable sort.
The one thing that really shows the band's confidence is their willingness to slow down and really attack these songs. Caleb claims that medication's effects influenced the writing and indeed, the droning insistence can be almost hallucinatory. Interestingly the first single, Sex On Fire - returning them to the fire and brimstone, gothic territory of their peripatetic father's preacher roots - is the one track that comes closest to the Strokes-aping sound that held them back in the past. But Caleb's muzzy, straining voice pushes them beyond arch post-modern irony from the big city. In interviews Caleb's talked about the boys tackling their ''roots'' again, and this album wears its colours proudly.
The U2 analogies don't stop there. Manhattan, another medium-paced stormer has the Edge's echo-fed lines running through it, albeit with more of the Kings' blues rock swagger. Obviously, the advantage of being American is that you can still believe that rock will save the world.
A minor mid-album lull, caused by perhaps too many slower numbers is broken by Be Somebody: a new wave-ish beauty that ends with a maelstrom borne on the back of Jared's rubbery bass. It only remains for Cold Desert to usher us out of the emotional devastation of this very secular three-chord church, swelling and returning at its end with optimistic verve.
Never overstaying its welcome, Only By The Night is the album that the world's been waiting for the Kings Of Leon to make.
