#WHEN IS THE NEW KINGS OF LEON ALBUM PLUS#
On September 10, 2016, Kings of Leon headlined at the Saturday evening Lollapalooza Europe music festival, in Berlin, Germany, which featured songs from all their albums, plus the new "Waste a Moment". In August, the band announced that album title would be We Are Like Love Songs (aka WALLS), and that it would be released on October 14, 2016. "If it doesn't, we always have a studio at home, so we can always come back."
Our first two albums we recorded in L.A., so we're going to try to go back and see if it inspires us," he said. Obviously there's a lot of work that goes into it and it can get stressful at times, but we're all in a good place and we're having fun with it and we're all excited to do something new." The album was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, with Caleb saying the band was looking for inspiration: "We might just try to get a little change of scenery. And then the whole press machine kicks up and doing press for the record." Caleb Followill added, "We enjoy this part of the process. While nothing on the album is overly egregious, there is nothing purely interesting about any of the songs on When You See Yourself.Following a New Year's Eve show in Nashville, Nathan Followill said the band was aiming to release album seven in 2016: "We've already started pre-production in our studio for the next record, but the main thing on the calendar for 2016 is getting the record finished. But they still aren’t worth a second listen. Songs like “Golden Restless Age” and “Supermarket” do have some qualities that separate them from the rest of the bland album, being relatively smooth and fun. While the album is mostly unremarkable, there are songs that are better than others.
There are no small inconsistencies or errors that might add flavor to an album, or even make it better.
They seem to only exist for the purpose of having lyrics, rather than giving the song a deeper meaning or making it entertaining.Īnother quality that contributes to the blandness of the album is the overproduction of each song. Some of the most listened-to songs on the album, “The Bandit” and “Stormy Weather” sound basically the same.Įven when the album tries to slow down the pace of their songs, on tracks like “100,000 People” and “Claire & Eddie,” the slower pace seems boring, not relaxing or heartfelt like most slow songs try to be.Īnd on faster-paced songs like “Stormy Weather” and the opening song, “When You See Yourself, Are You Far Away,” the songs seem cluttered and messy rather than intense. In previous albums by the band, like Walls or Mechanical Bull, there are clear standout songs like “Waste a Moment” and “Supersoaker,” respectively.īut when fans are done listening to this album, they will not find a single song that needs to be heard again. The album is simply not interesting, with many songs being indiscernible from others. Kings of Leon’s new album, When You See Yourself, is a generic and forgettable album.
