Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 12/25/03, p.107
Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2003"
Rolling Stone - 9/4/03, p.138
4 stars out of 5 - "...The thrill is in the groove. Some of the time that means jacked-up garage punk...but the Kings are also a Southern rhythm section to the core..."
Spin - 8/03, pp.111-2
"...[Kings of Leon] bash and pop like they've been rock stars for years....drifts with the sort of slack backwoods passion Dylan found in Nashville skylines and the Stones saw in wild horses..." - Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - 8/22-29/03, p.132
"...Nashville's Kings shake up [Southern rock's] rural tendencies with the clamor of garage rock, mixing compact chords, frantic leads, and bashing drums with frontman Caleb Followill's drawl..." - Rating: B+
Q - 01/01/04, p.83
Ranked #4 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "[Who] would think a mix of Lynyrd Skynyrd-style boogie and New YOrk garage-punk could work this well?"
Uncut - 8/03, p.110
5 stars out of 5 - "...The kind of life-affirming, slack-strung Gibson SG, four-to-the-floor sonic blitz that makes you want to chain-smoke full-strength Chesterfields chased with lids of Hawaiian while swigging a court of Jim by the neck..."
Magnet - 9/03, p.105
"...With unlikely injections of Wet Willie and lyrical stories told in a drawled yell....[The Kings] were weaned on the car radio, grocery-store rock mags and hours sitting inside hot-ass laundromats..."
Mojo (Publisher) - 01/01/04, p.59
Ranked #14 in Mojo's "The Best of 2003"
Mojo (Publisher) - 9/03, p.104
3 stars out of 5 - "...Pedal steel guitars beckon, suggesting that the Kings of Leon are more than the right band at the right time..."
