Didnt nathan say that they were going to go in a gospel direction? This is definitely that. I fucking love the yelps he does in the newcastle version. Could use a more pumping chorus tho, me thinks. Why do they keep playing this if its just a fluke of a song? Huh?? They were just joking about the gospel sound  The yelps are amazing indeed!! I hope he does it more often  |

I really don't think anyone should get their hopes up either. I think it's being built up a bit too much, everyone's saying OH YES A BLUES ALBUM! but really, we have no idea! It's one thing to appreciate the song for what it is, a breath of fresh air for right now, and another to rely on it as insight into the future. Cause if the album doesn't come out all bluesy & have the exact feel as that song, like everyone is saying it will, you know there is gonna be a huge wave of blame on the Kings, when really it was all of us being blinded by this and basing our expecations on it. You're right, there. The first song any of us heard of OBTN was Crawl and I expected an album similar to that. Turns out Crawl was the only song of its kind on there which (to me) was sort of a let down. |

Thanks ticboo. I probably should clarify my position a bit further. My objection is more to the quality of sound than to the sound itself, if that makes any sense to anyone. I fully support them going with a more bluesy sound if they choose to do so. I have a lot of blues recordings I listen to regularly. I admit I haven't heard all of the versions of this song that are currently available, but I didn't care for the ones I heard so far. In the version or two that I have heard, Jared and Nathan couldn't be heard at all, and it sounded like Caleb was singing while Matt was tuning his guitar. As mentioned, I may simply have not heard the best version of this song yet, which is why I stated I'd wait for the recorded/album version. I hope I don't hear another song off of their next album before it's released. It was somewhat of a letdown with the last album, as at least have a dozen songs were posted here prior to its release. I'd rather wait months for the album version than listen to crappy versions recorded on cell phones earlier. Personal preference. I may not frequent this site as much if that happens again. I remember when I bought Youth and Young Manhood and had not heard a single note from it until I placed it in my cd player and listened to the entire recording for the first time. That was a magical moment that I'd like to enjoy again sometime.  I guess it all depends on personal preference. I adore the idea of hearing something in the making. To me, that's what makes those live experiences worth while. Hearing something new or different or spontaneous. If I went to a concert and it was merely a direct replica of the cd, I'd be peeved. Those bands/artists who are willing to experiment in the moment and be brave enough to get the instant feedback is what makes paying the price for a ticket worthwhile. For that simple fact alone, I love this song (or jam or whatever it is), even if it turns out to be nothing and this is all we get. |

Couldn't have said it better myself. But yeah, it's all a matter of personal preference.
In fact, i'd love to get my hands on demos of songs from the first 4 records. Does anyone know if any are floating round the net? Or were any ever officially released as bsides?

Either way, I think we are all hoping that this goes somewhere and that is only fair to want that.
If nothing more comes from this song, atleast we saw Kings of Leon openning up there live preformance a bit. I know a lot of us had the feeling that though they completely kick ass live we wanted some more spontinaeity. (freeing up the songs more, less planning of just JAM out) The fact that they were willing to do this, it says something, even if its not saying a lot.

I think the exact same way, KOL are smashing live performers but they sometimes lack interaction with the audience and that's what you wanna see in a live show, right - at least i like it if the structure of songs differ or if there is some kind of improvisation - vitalizes the whole thing...  The "Devil Song" is really sexy as hell - Caleb's voice  lost for words |
