Despite a wave of criticism asserting that Kings of Leon's fourth full-length is "too commercial," Only by the Night may be the closest thing to a pitch-perfect album to drop in 2008. Granted, Tennessee's band of brothers (and one first cousin) takes a turn for the heavily polished here, but what the album lacks in rough-edged raunch, it more than makes up for in earnestness and stunning beauty. A model of melodic rock composition, arranged and produced with a warm, inviting veneer, and performed with aching sincerity, these eleven tracks coalesce into a sanguine whole that eclipses the band's much-discussed rock posturing and yields more with every play.
