There are very few KOL interviews that feel so natural and interesting such as this one. I enjoyed listening to their answers to questions that are never asked by interviewers, so thanks Zane Lowe, you're an amazing interviewer. And I think the guys also enjoyed giving this interview.

Just came back to say that Zane was absolutely right. Golden Restless Age hits you in the face the moment you hear it. Probably the best song on the brilliant new album.

The thing that gets me about KOL is like, when Caleb said "..discovering new music..", if I'm not mistaken, they didn't listen to anything but church music until they were well on in age and God BLESS Caleb for his interest in old music! They weren't raised like I was, with all the old Grand Ol Opry stars' music, playing on Dad's AM car radio, the earliest 60's music an older & sister played and the early 70's pop music 45 rpm records my friends & I used to play on our little record players. They found their own sound anyway!!

They did an amazing job on this album. To be honest I was pretty underwhelmed by their 3 previous releases. At one moment I thought that KoL will be my nostalgia band and I will not expect anything significant from them anymore. But I have to say- this album blew my mind! It's so balanced, smooth, catchy, and fresh! It's easily in my top 3 of their albums! Welcome back, boys!

@@coycoberly4162 i've been following them since their first album. (9yo me) saw them live when i was ten for the first time. (Day Old Belgian Blues) is a cd they made from that show. Youth and young manhood, aha shake heart break. Best albums in my opinion. Because they we're straight up garagerock back in the day. Now i've grown up with their music and i feel like the music matured in the same way as i matured.

The third play of the album made me cry. I was pretty shocked coz I wasn’t feeling unhappy. Once my record shop opens I’ll be buying it to celebrate the end of lockdown. Much love from the UK.

I do like the new album, but I must say that ‘WALLS’ is my top favourite album from the band, but the new album is up there in my top 5, and I personally think that there are great songs, and ‘Golden Restless Age’ is a fantastic song and the best on the album, and the guitar on that song feels a little bit like an Eagles song, in fact, a few of the Kings Of Leon songs on the other albums feel a bit like songs from The Eagles, but in a modern era, however I think there are great songs on the new album, but I think ‘Supermarket’ is the weakest song on the album in my opinion.
