It mainly talks about the new album, plus a little bit more about the history of the Kings, it's a possitive review, it says we should buy it 'cause they have evolved and the band's getting better.

[fruitfilledcow]

they are absolutely right

Only because I love translating. I didn't get to finish and it takes forever, but I'll finish up some other time. Some things don't make sense because A) I don't understand Argentinian (just kidding) or B)I'm so uncool.



Strange [glow=blue,2,300]Boys[/glow]

In[glow=blue,2,300] Because of the Times[/glow], their third disc, the [glow=blue,2,300]Kings of Leon[/glow] make a step forward and show that they're strong than ever.

First let's clear something up: The Kings of Leon are victims of a misunderstanding that is called Nashville. Nashville is the world capital of Country. And that's why everyone expected for the bands that come from there to wear cowboy hats, use gingham shirts, and, of course, play country music. Fine: the Kings of Leon come from Nashville and they're not at all like that. The three brothers (Nathan, Caleb, and Jared) and their cousin (Matthew), all with the last name Followill, are thin, have long hair and dress in black, they also look like a methal goth band.
The problem with the Kings of Leon is conjunctural. In the era of their debut album, Youth & Young Manhood (03), the band was used to being presented like a native attraction of southern united states (their father was a traveling pastor and they had gathered to make "music of the devil"). The group didn't suffer this story much, but since the atmosphere of rock reproached them to be a band of young southerners dressed up, a boys band of southern rock. Youth & Young Manhood, in spite of everything, crowned itself like a good garage pop disc, with [something] guitars, a nervous rhythm and a singer with a rough and [something] voice. Afterwards Aha Shake Heartbreak (04) followed with more ballads and acoustic guitars, but without advancing much. That did not prevent that the Kings of Leon, excellent on stage, surf the wave of new rock and convert themselves in the spoiled children of the English press, that classified them --and without reason-- like the "Southern Strokes". "We feel musically alone in Nashville. There's envy... People find the dischord and then we seem like the conflicted ones. We feel southern, but we're not precisely happy about Nashville. I'd like to represent the south without sounding southern. Thin Lizzy, after all, did not sound Irish", explains Jared Followill, the youngest in the family, talented with analogies. That their wish should be granted: today, in times of Because of The Times, their third disc, everything could change. The group doesn't sound neither Southern nor like the Strokes. One of the new songs, My Party, continues along with a danceable rhythm the actual stance of the band: "At this height, we're sick of going to bars and sitting in front of a greasy and dirty bar-table*. Now we like going to a club, moreover the only thing we can listen to there is disco music**. That's how My Party came up... We though that it'd be cool to be able to listen to one of our songs when we go out. In this disc we intentionally strayed away from southern rock. Maybe we'll go back when we're old and fat." So the Kings of Leon found a simple way of clearing up the misunderstanding: they raised the volume. Because of the time is a metalized, with excessive potential, [something] guitars, a rhythmic iron skeleton, a panoramic production, and enough songs to move the masses.

*Those counters that have the stools in front of them. I'm not at all sure what they're called. Bars? Bar tables? Big long tables with drinks all over them? Counters? No clue.

**Disco=club. So..in turn...club music. Music..from clubs. Whatever the hell you whipper snappers call it!

More to come..one day.
