Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "ONLY BY THE NIGHT is packed with songs about being rootless, alienated, misunderstood....It's impressive stuff.", Ranked #1 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "With an audacious palette of deep, dark and desolate sonic shades.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The Kings of Leon still rule with a messy hand, applying rough magic and blurry, slurred imagery to their swashbuckling rock.", Ranked #21 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "They've gradually swapped out their Strokes-via-Skynyrd posturing for U2-leaning arena rock.", "Throughout NIGHT, frontman Caleb Followill wails forlornly about cheap thrills and true love while his two brothers (and a cousin) bash out spooky, raw-edged riffs that rarely go where you expect them to." -- Grade: B+, 3 stars out of 5 -- "ONLY BY THE NIGHT is long on astral, arena-ready largeness, with blippy keyboards, droney guitars and whoa-oh-oh backing vocals. Frontman Caleb Followill cranks up his Allman Brothers howl...", "It conjures up images of a more refined band -- the songs have overall a slower pace, and so sounds more considered, more deliberate, more reflective.", Ranked #20 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums of 2008 -- "It's a Brighter, Fuller Southern Rock."
