Reception

Template:Music ratings Writing for NME, Barry Nicolson said the album "cements Kings Of Leon as one of the great American bands of our times".[4] Entertainment Weekly called Because of the Times "an epic wide-screen movie of a CD and the band's best to date."[5] Another reviewer described Because of the Times as "an accomplished album of unbelievable beauty and familiar, loveable grit. Kings of Leon is maturing wonderfully and with patience, not forcing anything musically or lyrically that doesn't sound natural."[6]

Some critics found the album inferior to the band's previous efforts.[7] Dave Hood of Artrocker gave the album one star out of five, finding that "Kings of Leon are experimenting, learning, and getting a bit lost."[8] Pitchfork contended that "Because of the Times sound[s] suspiciously like a counterattack on womankind, launched from somewhere in the mid-1990s, deep inside a bruised, stadium-sized ego."[9]

The album was ranked #6 on NMETemplate:'s list of the best albums of the year and #31 on Rolling StoneTemplate:'s Top 50 Albums of 2007 list.
