When You See Yourself depicts the latest effort of the Tennessee rockers to write soaring songs in an effort to re-create some of their past mammoth hits which made them popular in the music world. What they manage to deliver in the end, is a bunch of some wallow tracks where the Kings marry their interests, old and new. The distinctively energetic 'The Bundit' - the first single and standout track - finds KOL creating a more mature, laid-back version of their ubiquitous hit 'Sex on Fire'. The highlight of the album cannot be other than Jared's omnipresent bass and the dexterity associated with his groove: sometimes funky, others pulsative but always eclectic. Overall, When You See Yourself represents a mature and laid-back version of the quartet's late '00s heydays. Recommendations: "The Bandit", "Time In Disguise", "Golden Restless Age".

In many ways, this is the exact same thing that happened with the most recent Strokes record. It is way too damn catchy and good for its own good. I have never been a fan of Kings of Leon because they have always been a typical alternative and indie rock band with that post-punk influence that many of the early/mid-2000s radio-friendly bands had. But something about this album is so catchy, sticky, and mesmerizing, that it's hard not to just tap your foot and dance along to these songs. The more I listen to it the more I am blown away at how good these songs actually are. They are well written, well played, well-produced, and crisp as all hell. Honestly, the only negative is I wish there was a bit more exploration, examples being the new Strokes album, but still hats off the Kings of Leon for making something this god damn great for a band that I thought lost their touch years ago. Also, the first 2/3?s of this record completely outshine the last 1/3 of this.
