Hey Jamiro, good to see you again. And yeah, the Kings can go record their next album entirely on banjos and ukeleles strummed while they perch on a toadstool in the woods...just as long as they never get Eno to produce!

Hello again, Oh dear Black Jeans, great to ponder at your ever resourceful, wise and lovely posting font yet again, I hope you have been well too! Yeah, well, The Kings could very well do it, in my view, that is, bring back the spirit of their debut album. I swear if they stoop to having their next album produced by Brian Eno, wear Sgt. Peppers in fluorescent colors designed French battle overcoats with randomized rags on their arms and bang obnoxiously large drums while a mulleted Caleb plays a baby harpiscord piano while whining like Chris Martin...I WILL STOP LISTENING TO MUSIC! Bar none! Cheers again sister! Your Friend, JamiroFan2000 BAHAHHAHAHA!! KARMA when i cn

*Drops the "Hellos" for a little while to go into deeper discussions*
Yeah, they won a Grammy that should have been given to them at their "musical creative peak"....not their "stylized to the barebone and promoted by internet icon inspirational visual peak". I mean, to see them there during the LIVE naming down of the "Best Rock Album" nominations, and to see Coldplay all in their endless "guffaw to themselves for having Unca Eno" there made me a little disheartened. If you wanted another example of this, did you see how Radiohead, during the naming of the "Best Album Of The Year" noms, how they were all slumped down in their seats KNOWING they wouldn't even yet a gasp of this Grammy? I mean, the Grammys themselves are so darn marginalized that all the artists, or nominees per se, walk out of there with a GRAMMY! Overly pompy clothing OR normal formal wear counting! Sorry, wish that the NRAA would FINALLY for one time in their 52 year existance would embrace indie music for a change. Cheers!

This argument just takes us all around in circles.
We want indie bands/the Kings to get more recognition, we want them to become popular, receive credit....we complain about them "selling out" and not being indie anymore specifically BECAUSE they are now recognized by masses.
Ugh...so tired...

To appease the current sidled discussion, there isn't anything wrong with Brian Eno, the annoying aspect is that he has produced many the new centuries albums of the year nominations, from U2 to Coldplay (Each he has produced 2 times over!). Eno is a solid producer, it's just that when an artist works with them, the artist starts believing that their new music is so BLOODY MAGICAL that it makes what originally was a normal musician start BELIEVING that they ARE MAGICAL. Just talk it over with Chris Martin/Bono while they are gallavanting around the world making charity appearances while NOT DOING the hard work of bettering the world physcially.

So much for free speach in this place. Someone has a serious attitude problem

Eno & the Kings would be a disaster for my listening tastes Why exactly, if I may ask? Because his production approach is so over-analytical, and what I love about Kings Of Leon is that they have a natural, spontaneous song-writing ability that I think would get smothered by a producer like him.

And once your past 10+ posts on Happyalone, Mowgli, then you can really say I have an attitude problem.

Regardless of how you feel about the current sound of the band, why anyone would crave a remake of YAYM style music is beyond me. And as a male older than any of the Kings, the look is completely incidental and a non-issue for me.
Go Forward Boys. Do what comes NEXT for you, not what you have already done. You can remake YAYM in a second.... and probably not feel satisfied artistically and gain few new fans. Or you can make whatever comes NEXT in your own musical journey and if you happen to gain new fans, see popularity soar in your homeland, wear your hair shorter as you get older, and win a fucking Grammy....
Then I say well done.
For what it's worth, I jumped on board in the fall of 2003 when I first heard Red Morning Light. It's been a great ride so far, and I intend on staying on board for sure. If you want to go back to 2003, please exit the Kings of Leon train now. Bands change, evolve, etc. They've grown up for crying out loud.
You think any of them could write the song "Soft" now.... when they go to be with their fiancee's/girlfriends every night? I think not.
