Craaawwwwlll



Don't forget that today's the day y'all can grab a free download of KOL's "Crawl" off the band's website HERE. The band said it would have some political leanings on this album. For the most part, I'm taking the band's word for it, as the vocals are often indecipherable without looking at the album booklet (although on "Crawl" I can make out "crucify the USA," so it sounds like they're being honest). Aside from that, this song rocks sort of like a "Black Thumbnail"/"McFearless" hybrid and shows once again that Jared Followill (the bassist) is more and more becoming the most essential ingredient in the Kings' heavier sound. Damn that kid can play.

Two thumbs up for being quicker than pitchfork and stereogum!
