Slow And Steady Blacktop Tease

Kings Of Leon, Because of the Times, (RCA) The original cover art (left) and the updated cover art (right). And as far as logo colors go, this is maybe a little too Dukes Of Hazzard.

Prologue: “Hey Adam, have you seen my special limited edition Japanese Digitech WH-1 Whammy Pedal? You know, red thing? All Because Of You? Knob and wires? Where the fuck could it have skipped off to? It’s my favorite one! No wrong notes with that bugger.

The United Pentecostal Temple Pilots of Mt. Juliet Tennessee may be sucking on the last of the post-Skynrd deer-jerky cellophane, but rather than strokes us to an easy O with clipped waffle house new-wave, again, Follow will western union us amphetaminey night driving through a state-wide blue ball desert, slicing up blue jeans, and snuffing out the the the The rock stars out on their kevlar Major Label, just in time to suck an American Face and card corner scoops of McFearless with Terry-types that don’t bother none what a Nashville-based song-writer/producer Angelo Petraglia is; they just want to make out with some sour, good Allboys in Marc Jacobs -who are smarter enough to leave the 7-minute-solo out- before the next gen calls, “Time’s up!!!” This 80’s dream is over. Don’t know about you, but I’m a dawg andelusional.

Epilogue: Tom Cruise never said if you live the act long enough you will eventually become the act… But.

Was that supposed to sound like one of their songs? I’m a girl, and we’re not typically part of the KOL demographic. :)

Also hope its not sacrilege, but Caleb (?) sounds like Mick Hucknall in On Call. Phrasingwise. Mick has a good voice, so yeah, I said it.

oh and they shoulda stuck with the first cover, own your roots bebes.

The new Kings of Leon is going to be on many many lists as one of the best albums of this year. This is the only prediction I have ever made(will ever make?) about music.
