I discovered Kings of Leon with Only by the Night, based on a friend's recommendation/suggestion that I lop off my ears and toss 'em if I had not ever heard of this band by that point.
It might be because I started with that one, but I like it over other KOL albums I've heard since (I do tend to cling to albums that first grabbed me and on some occasions that will be the "trendy" one).
That's not to say I don't like the other albums - I do like everything I have heard.
Because of the Times is the smarter album.
The prior two (names escaping me at the moment) are more raw but I like the hints of their style-to-be.
I haven't heard anything from their upcoming album yet, but I am anxious for the chance to.
