It saddens me to see the charts in this state. A shitty cover of a shitty song by a shitty artist at the top. And I don't know what's happened to Kings Of Leon. It's been a long time since a band's first 3 albums were as good as theirs, but the quality has really dipped on Only By The Night. I'm happy for band's to progress, but they seem to have lost sight of what made them such a great band in the first place. And i've got to be honest, I saw them at the o2 on thursday and they were pretty average.
