Aha Shake Heartbreak

By The Kings Of Leon
Warning: What lies within is a short review, for a more logical review or to buy Aha Shake Heartbreak go here. Aha Shake Heartbreak then is the Kings Of Leon's follow up to their brilliant debut Youth and Young Manhood. Despite hosting 13 new songs the album is relatively short [under 40 minutes] but this counts for nothing when you consider what's on offer. Single The Bucket is typically upbeat and really lets you see what the whole KOL thing is about. There are too many good songs to mention but rest assured it's at least equal to the debut album in terms of overal quality. NME has said "...A-Ha Shake Heartbreak is gonna piss all over Youth and Young Manhood. Hallelujah!" and The Times declared that the new material in their set "consolidated their status as perhaps the finest American band of this decade". However as with certain other things it's a love/hate thing, you either dig them or you don't. K/S verdict: 9/10. Where KOL go from here is really up to them, but it looks like they are here to stay.
