Kings of Leon WALLS Album Review
kingsofleon.com

The day is here KOL fans, and the wait is finally over! The WALLS album has officially been released, full of 10 tracks that will make you fall in love with Kings Of Leon all over again. If you were a fan of Come Around Sundown, this will also be a favorite. Go out and buy this new album, put some headphones on and just listen.

This album in particular still has the classic KOL tone, Caleb's raspy voice and all, but even starting with the marketing, it represents something a little different. The promotion and album cover artwork aren't the usual visuals like we've seen on Come Around Sundown and Mechanical Bull. The WALLS album features a very abstract picture, which teases at a new progressive type of sound. The band has said in several interviews that they've just "stopped giving a shit," about what other people think, and they produced exactly what they wanted. Each song plays around with different genres, including folk, rock, pop, and country. "Muchacho," features a fresh bass line while "Find Me," really shows off Caleb's voice, and "Around The World," has a melody that makes you want to get up and dance.

Overall, I thought this album showed huge vulnerability and growth for the band. Songs like "WALLS," and "Over," really play on different emotions than the band has in the past. Besides the fact that KOL's new music is an epic step for them as a band, they also announced a winter tour that stops in 17 cities across the U.S and Europe. The link to the bands website is linked below to follow the tour dates, as well as purchase your copy of WALLS.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
