The album is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify kings of Leon’s position as one of the most important bands of 2008.

In Canada, the album debuted at number four on the Canadian Albums Chart, [31] eventually peaking at number two. The album was recorded by producers Jacquire King and Angelo Petraglia in April 2008 at Nashville's Blackbird Studio. The wax is heavy and feels quality, and the sleeve is a nice matte white with gloss art and lettering and a clever inner lyric spread of white on white with raised letters.

Writing for the band's fourth album commenced just days after the release of their third, Because of the Times. Sex on Fire" was awarded with the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals on February 8. Another fan favorite was the album's opening track "Closer," which features a three note riff by bass player Jared Followill that utilises a Boss ME50 multi-effects pedal to add a distinctive octave sweep reminiscent of the DigiTech Whammy. According to producer Jacquire King, the live performances of the main parts of each song were recorded onto 16-track analog tape and later transferred to a Pro Tools system for overdubbing and mixing. The album was also awarded "2008 Album of the Year" by the UK's Q Magazine, [26] as well as Rolling Stone voting it as the 20th best album out of their top 50 Best Albums of 2008.Over-all glad to own this, if anything to complete my KoL collection and throw on the hits once in a while.
