Does anyone else hate kings of leon

Another one of these thread. If you dont get it in any way, it's because it's not for people like you, nor is the music composed or marketed for people like you, and as such, it wont speak to you as music you would enjoy.

It's really not that difficult to comprehend. I would tend to agree with you. I saw them play live back in and had a great time. Not so crazy about the new stuff but hey, maybe the next stuff will be better. Anybody else not able to stand the Kings of Leon? Start new topic. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2. Recommended Posts.

Subsequently, accusations of Maroon 5-level selling out mounted against the group and have since trailed them for years. The band was even forced to acknowledge the persistent allegations , and post fans would only come to their shows for the "Whoa-oh's!

Today, the band has failed to produce another hit the size of "Sex On Fire," and every attempt at one has seemed disingenuous. Criticism of the band's frayed relationship and sub-par work has been relentless.

But in hindsight, what did Followill and fam ever really do wrong as a band besides write a few cringe refrains? While 's Come Around Sundown was undoubtedly lukewarm when held up against the magnitude of its predecessor, critics were divided on whether the album deserved any love at all, sprinkling awkward modicums of praise in between searing criticism.

Rolling Stone praised the album and cited the band as potentially another U2. But Pitchfork tore it to shreds, calling the band "emotionally bankrupt," despite agreeing that they were rhythmically compelling.

They also tipped their hat to "Radioactive" but stopped short of praise because the remix featured a gospel chorus.
