Because of the Times [2LP] Vinyl
Because of the Times is a swaggering southern rock statement, packed with grit, grandeur, and a band on the cusp of superstardom. Sprawling across two LPs, this 2007 release captures the Followill clan at a pivotal moment, mixing their garage roots with newfound ambition and sonic depth.
Opening with the thunderous build of “Knocked Up,” the band immediately makes clear that this isn’t just another barroom banger. Clocking in at over seven minutes, it’s moody, brooding, and confident. Then there’s the explosive “Charmer,” a fuzzed-out, screaming stomp that practically melts the speakers. And let’s not forget the arena-sized anthem “On Call,” a track that hinted at the mainstream domination to come.
Throughout the album, Kings of Leon strike a balance between rugged charm and polished experimentation. Songs like “McFearless” and “Fans” showcase their knack for sticky hooks while still embracing rawness. There’s a cinematic quality to the production, with layered guitars, echoing drums, and Caleb Followill’s unmistakable drawl leading the charge.
Pressed on double vinyl, this edition gives the album the breathing room it deserves-both literally and sonically. Whether you’re rediscovering its underrated brilliance or spinning it for the first time, Because of the Times still feels like a rebellious, whiskey-fueled road trip through the American South.
Stylish, bold, and full of fire, this one’s got serious replay value.
