Summary: One of my all time favorites.
Comment: This album is absolutely amazing and belongs on every top album list. Every song is finely crafted, executed and produced. There aren't too many albums where I like every song but this is one of them. Five stars and very high on my top albums list.

Summary: If you liked Aha Shake Heartbreak you will hate this.
Comment: This was a total let down. Their last album was one of my favorites and I was physced for this to come out. Gone is the original sounding Dixie fried garage rock sound that put them on the map. They totally changed. Sounds like they put a lot of money into it. They also said they were drunk the whole time recording this one unlike their past albums. Sounds like it's not working for them.
Their album after this one "Only By The Night", from what I've heard of it so far, seems like their making this new sound work for them. But do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Summary: So what if it strays from the first two albums....
Comment: I agree that Y&YM and Aha Shake Heartbreak are excellent albums, perhaps more raw than Because of the Times, but just because KOL strays a little bit from their gritty rock sound on the first two albums doesn't mean this album isn't amazing...because it is.
[...] Because of the Times is edgy, graceful, packed with a punch, and keeps you emotionally involved throughout its 13 tracks. I will admit that getting over the hump of the 7 minute, but brilliant, 'Knocked Up' to start the album could turn some people off, but 'Charmer through Fans' will keep you rocking out and falling in love with this group. The 'Runner' and 'Trunk' slow down the pace with a graceful delivery and the foursome rev up their engines on 'Camaro' and leave you wanting more with the uplifting 'Arizona' to close out this masterful album.
Do yourself a favor and get it. Be patient and you will see why listening past the the fourth track is well worth it.

Summary: Year's Best
Comment: This is the best album in the last year, maybe last two. Followill's voice is the most uniquely haunting sound ... I can't stop playing these tunes. There are half a dozen unforgettable cuts here; "Knocked Up" ranks with the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs' "Maps" as one of the best tracks of the decade. And I'm not some kid: at 44, I come out of a Lou Reed, Petty, Costello, Springsteen mold. This is good stuff.
