Kings of Leon - Can We Please Have Fun (May 10, 2024) • Page 3

Idk I think this might be the best kings of Leon album in like over a decade. I really like/love every song

 

Ballerina Radio was on repeat for more then hour last night- what an incredible voice. Really digging this record.

 

yeah, I absolutely fucking love it. I've been playing it constantly since it came out, and it keeps getting better for me

I've listened to WYSY a good amount, but honestly it's always felt a bit like a chore to get thru the whole thing

 

Yesterday, as I was breaking out my just received vinyl copy, my wife revealed to me that she hates the bass line to Rainbow Ball and it kinda rocked me.

 

yeah that floors me

I don't even know what to say haha

 

I listen to this everyday at work and think about how incredible of a bass line it is. lol. Seriously reminds me of something from Aha Shake.

 

This hasn't left my turntable in days, ha.

 

Same. Hot take time, I think this may be their strongest album front to back since because of the times

 

WYSY left such a bad taste in mouth I started to give up on them. Like, I had always viewed them as one of those legacy rock bands up until that. I remember when that album came out and texting my buddy, who is a massive fan, and asking him if this was a b-side collection or something? I legit thought it was just a bunch of throw away songs that didn’t make the cut for their other albums.

Anyways, the new album has re-energized me about these guys. I find myself listening to this and being impressed like I was their first 5 or 6 albums. It gets better each listen.

Because Of The Times
Come Around Sundown
Only By The Night
Aha Shake
Can We Please Have Fun
Youth and Young Manhood
Mechanical Bull
Walls
WYSY

That’s about how I’d rank them. Those top two are always gonna be my top two. The bottom two are easily the bottom two. Everything in between is kinda interchangeable depending on my mood.

 

This album might be cracking top 3 for me from a pure “album” standpoint. There are better single songs in their overall catalog, but I truly love this album as a whole. Come Around Sundown is likely my favorite album of theirs.

 

Because of the times and only by the night are quite close but I do love come around sundown. The immortals is my favorite kings of Leon song besides probably Manhattan or closer

 

That album is deep with elite songs. Pyro, The Immortals, Back Down South, Pony Up, Pickup Truck all get a crazy amount of plays for me. From start to finish, it's such an easy enjoyable listen.

 

I think that’s why I gravitate to it so often when I’m going through a KOL phase. Start to finish it’s just “fun”.

 

Pyro is the definition of a perfect song in my opinion. I love it so much
