The album contained some hit tracks such as “Sex on Fire” and “Notion,” which peaked at the top position on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Chart, catapulting the album to platinum status in the US. The first chart success for the band came in 2008 after the release of the band’s fourth studio album, Only by the Night. However, the third track from the album (“On Call”) became a massive sensation in the UK and Ireland and debuted at the top position in the charts for both countries. The band’s third album, Because of the Times, dropped in 2007 and received mixed reviews by critics in the US. By this time, Kings of Leon had garnered accolades from several of their peers, such as Elvis Costello, and had gone on tour with bands such as Pearl Jam and U2. The next album, Aha Shake Heartbreak, continued the band’s Southern blend of garage rock similar to the first album. The album titled Youth and Young Manhood was a hit in the UK and was declared by NME as the best debut album of the last decade. The band released their debut album in July 2003. The band’s most significant exposure came in 2003 after releasing their first EP titled Holy Roller Novocaine which received a four-star rating from Rolling Stone. Over the years, their sound has evolved to include some elements of alternative rock sounds. The band’s sound initially featured a scruffy sound with a mix of Southern rock with blues influences. Kings of Leon is an American band that was formed in Nashville, Tennessee, and is composed of three preachers’ sons and their cousin.
