Critic Reviews
Show All-
NME
‘Only By The Night’ will still make them massive.
-
Pitchfork
The best songs 3 Doors Down never wrote.
-
Rolling Stone
Arena-ready largeness...
-
Consequence of Sound
Only By The Night is retro Southern mud. Try not to get stuck in it.
-
The Observer
Only by the Night is the record we thought they were going to make when we first saw pictures of them way back in 2003...
-
The Guardian
Kings of Leon could be a more intriguing and characterful band if they wanted...
-
Pop Matters
A banal serving of typically unemotional, formulaic stadium rock for hipsters who could care less.
-
BBC
Never overstaying its welcome, Only By The Night is the album that the world's been waiting for the Kings Of Leon to make.
-
Clash
‘Only By The Night’ is the best thing you’ll hear this year and next - guaranteed.
-
Paste
Don’t be fooled by the occasional interesting arrangement...
-
All Music
Only by the Night remains a potent Kings of Leon record, and the guys have never defined their ambition so clearly
-
Music OMH
This is an album which feels like it was made quickly, not because of artists reaching a terminal velocity of creativity, but to take maximum advantage of an audience who may not be there this time next year.
-
SPIN
An epic journey...
-
The A.V. Club
The record showcases a variety of songs without being crippled by the indulgent filler of albums past.
-
The Quietus
Only By The Night is an admirable attempt to come terms with rapid ascendancy by a band content with a slower and more manageable pace...
-
Uncut
With Only By The Night, they’ve taken their experimentation a bold (some might say foolhardy) step further...
-
Entertainment.ie
Just about acceptable, but far from amazing.
-
QRO Magazine
Only by the Night sees the Kings filling in their new domains.
-
RTE
A 'ten take purgatory' production applied to a very average - boring even - group of songs.
-
The Austin Chronicle
Style over substance.
-
Polaroids of Androids
It's hard to find anything to like about this record.
-
Rukus
The songs rock with unapologetic verve.
-
The Marquee
The best collection of songs they have recorded so far.
-

The Kings of Leon are on to something...

Under the Radar
Swayed by the marketers...
