Jun 21, 2018This isn’t kings of Leon’s best album but it is a very good listen. Favourite tracks, waste a moment, find me, muchaho, eyes on you and wild.

Jul 9, 2017My main complaint is it's boring. The vocals have no character, the music has nothing interesting, it's just all really boring. The only real quality song here is Over, which they try their best to ruin. They could've left it as a more slow song but instead they have to put everything they can into ruining it, and forcing in more than it needed.

Apr 10, 2017Can't say I enjoyed it as much as I did any of their previous albums, but it's still an easy and enjoyable listen. My favorites are definitely over and walls.

Dec 28, 2016I remember the first time I heard "Youth & Young Manhood". Honestly, I'd put it in my personal "Top 10 albums of decade" but after "Only by the Night", which is a majestic one as well, the band began getting worse and worse, IMHO. I only remember 2 songs from the last 2 albums - Rock City and Waste a Moment.

Oct 27, 2016A decent album, though Kings of Leon has churned out albums of far better quality. The best songs are "Waste a Moment", "Find Me", "Conversation Piece", "Eyes on You", and "WALLS". Don't rest on your laurels Kings of Leon!

Oct 19, 2016Maybe not a classic compared to Because of Times or Youth & Young Manhood but this is still a decent album. People need to lower their expectations and just appreciate good modern rock music which is rare in today's mainstream music scene. Tracks are well mixed and this album will grow with every listen. "Find me" and "Eyes on you" are my favorite tracks. What are yours ?

Oct 19, 2016Really more commercial than the others albums so far... But still being KOL, not the best Kraut rock band ever, but it's Kings of Leon. It keeps on repeat as the lastest and with this popfull sound though be so long till over it.

Oct 16, 2016before this album, they keep going downhill. but i think after WALLS, they are on the track after dowhill's at rollercoster. just my opinion. adding to speak on this album every track of this album was OVERPRODUCED. especially no.1, 3, 5, 6, 7.

Oct 16, 2016Bored as hell, goodbye Kings of Leon, another band that ruins their sound. Songs 1 to 5 decent, 5 to 10 zzzzzz... Just remarkable: "Reverend", forget the rest.

Oct 15, 2016Kings Of Leon were often on my playlists and I really like this album. I don't think its an reinvention or something, but it's good. I feel like some songs have that "anthem" thing that made them famous, like "Waste a Moment", but also they still have that old feeling from the two firsts albums.

Oct 14, 2016Completely disappointed in this band that has gone from raw, true grit to selling out to mainstream pop. Hopefully they will get back to their old roots and be true to who this band really is instead of following the lead of producers, etc. This has been my favorite band since album Youth and Young Manhood. They keep going downhill.

MagnetNov 16, 2016Walls could be their portal to lingering greatness. [No. 137, p.57]
-
Nov 7, 2016Although this album does replicate almost everything they’ve created it has that sense of maturity about it, showing that over the sixteen years they’ve moved on from their rebellious teen stage.

MojoOct 28, 2016Walls is not a lovable album but if Kings Of Leon would rather be taken seriously these days, instead of simply being adored, they have put down a solid foundation. [Dec 2016, p.89]
