- Release Notes
Kings of Leon's career follows a familiar trajectory from music
press-championed guitar-slinging upstarts to success towards gradual
disillusion. However, the southern states boys' seventh album finds them
successfully relocating their old vim and enthusiasm, and is packed with the
sort of zippy verses and arena-sized choruses which resulted in Only By the
Night's global domination in 2008. Opener Waste a Moment is a sibling of
shoutalong signature anthem Sex on Fire, but no worse for that. Other tracks
have a more Springsteenesque, storytelling feel, with occasional lyrical
cliches: people are caught in traps, and told Don't say it's over.
No wheels are being reinvented here, but while much of Walls marks a return to
the Kings sound of eight years ago, there is some experimentation. Reverend
features an untypically pretty guitar line, and they are unusually wistful on
Conversation Piece and the really lovely Muchacho, which includes the
unexpected but mellifluous sound of a Kings of Leon whistling solo.
