Youth and Young Manhood

"With so many great new acts on the scene along with the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and The Thrills, Kings of Leon are making big waves. They have a vocal style similar to the Black Crowes and are reminiscent of groups of the stature of the Kinks, plus grooving rhythms not dissimilar to Tom Petty at his best. This is rock music the way it's meant to be." - Roger Marbeck

"One of the Best Debut Albums of the last 10 years …They are to 2003 what Oasis were to 1994 and the Strokes were to 2001 - the most exciting new rock band of the year. All hail to the kings." - NME

"The Next Wave-10 To Watch. New artists who will make your world a better place in 2003."
- Rolling Stone

"The Southern-fried Strokes…a cracking debut" - Q

"the Kings Of Leon are the kind of hairy authentic rebels the Rolling Stones longed to be"
- The Guardian
