Kings Of Leon
Calaveth:
I think they're alright, but quite conventional. Like Interpol's less talented cousins, or something.
And they make videos that make drying paint look interesting:
Kings of Leon - On Call
The Cheesinator:
KoL are a decent band. A few of my friends constantly obsess over them, so I was force fed all three albums. I enjoy Aha Shake Heartbreak the most, due to its rather catchy riffs. The new album is different, but not in an entirely good way. The slower tracks near the end (Trunk, Fans, Arizona) are alright. I watched them on TV via Austin City Limits, and they didn't seem to be very entertaining, especially when compared to crazy mo-fos like Ghostland Observatory.

Dull in what way? I think what you're seeing as "dull" I would call "understated". I mean, if you think Interpol is dull, I can only imagine what you think of The National or mid-era Arab Strap...

This is why I get so sad when I listen to them.
PECOAE:
Aha Shake Heartbreak is a masterpiece, the other two are good, but the first is too garagey and riffish, the third is trying not to be.
The second (ASH) had that perfect balance of indie, us-against-the-world grandeur and crazy intensity.
