i agree w/ the cap'n - KoL's first 2 albums were really good.  kinda rough sounding, like they wrote & recorded them heavily fueled by bourbon.  i loved them when i first heard them, which was right around the same time as i heard about mmj.  however, mmj has never been out of rotation while KoL has come & gone and come back again; only not as strongly for me.  

their sound has evolved.  the most recent albums have a more expansive & highly polished sound compared to the grittiness of their earlier stuff.  i prefer the grit (but i don't hate the polish):

I haven't heard the new album but I wish they'd go back and play more stuff like Trani.

check out their new album...it's actually quite good.  It actually sounds like an album rather than their last effort which was a bunch of radio friendly singles.  I don't HATE Kings Of Leon, but I sure as hell don't buy them as the biggest and best band America has to offer.  I mean, for a bunch of whiskey drinkin', shit talkin', good ol' southern boys - they sure do look and sound and act like a bunch of twats.  

Also - check out KOL on SNL.
