From a graphic designer’s point of view, I’m scoring this album cover 9/10. Yeah, I know, an image of a shattering light-bulb is nothing new, but used in this context – it’s original. By this, I mean that the shattering light-bulb is almost a metaphor for the Kings of Leon discography: the music hasn’t just evolved – it’s moving in a whole new direction.

I’m writing this review on the 22nd March 2007 – and I’m aware that there seem to be three different versions of the cover in circulation. Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill is an arena-rock idealist, a firm believer in the undying power of setting up shop at the 50-yard line of rock & roll expectations and doing very brisk. My opinions for the previous review for the Arctic Monkeys latest album were rather negative, so I’m glad to see album cover which is fantastic!
