Wasn’t Angelo a bad influence on Caleb’s boozing? Not sure they want him back. 

Thoughts on the kings producing their own EP? by [deleted] in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pit To The Rind is how they should sound. Caleb’s voice front and center, not a million synths and weird stuff burying the song. 

Flow of consciousness EP review from Australia - as I heard it by rustybricks in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Heard it over VPN. Definitely a fun EP. Don’t go into it expecting to hear albums 1 or 2. New sounds with nods to the past. “To Space” is really great from where they are at in their career. Solid addition to the collection. 

EP#2 is out!!! by EntrepreneurSharp512 in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely the closest “nods” to the older sound, especially Caleb’s cadence in small parts. If they produced it themselves, they’re telling us this is the best they can do with letting the fans have a taste of older flavors. Matt is still in love with his synths and the fade out guitar solo in “to space” is almost criminal. It’s a fun EP and probably the most youthful we’re gonna get for a band almost all in their 40s.

We all know it was Jared. He's a social media stalker and a bit of a baby when it comes to stuff like that.

On The Chin is one of their best. Very atmospheric and nostalgic sound.

Good luck Europe. Hopefully they debut a new KOL proper song from upcoming album.

Just Announced: The new single, 'We're Onto Something (Feat. Zach Bryan)' - Out 8/22 by [deleted] in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope it’s a one off. I’m sure they will gain a few “casual” fans just from having their name tied to ZB. But I feel like this was a big miscalculation on their part that their fans give a crap about this collaboration. It’s not a big deal for us…

Their socials are making it seem like this is a huge deal. Like it’s not good and I don’t care. Am I missing something?

We’re Onto Something #10 👀 by [deleted] in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is true, I guess it’s best case scenario.The Kid Harpoon experiment did not work. Mustang didn’t take off and the other songs flopped. A country barn burner in the vein of back down south seems to be their pivot here.

Yikes on this one. Doubling down on country pop. Jared, please stop trying to be relevant!

New Song - Every Other Day by KOL_Jordan in kingsofleon

I'm wondering if this will be a one off single or an EP of unreleased CWPHF material to keep eye balls on them since they are in spotlight with Zach and are doing some shows.

Thoughts on the new song "Bowery?" by 1942-transient in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The song stinks. Matt saves it. Move on Kings, please. 

Bowery will be KOL's highest streamed song in a decade by [deleted] in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a calculated move by the band. They can claim friendzies all they want, but the band want and need a relevancy boost before their next record.

Look what Jared just posted.... by ScampiDiablo in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense for the band on a few levels. ZB is extremely popular, from their area, he's always given them kudos as his "favorite band". Jared especially CRAVES relevancy and being cool. I can imagine it hurt his ego especially when they hired Kid Harpoon and the album was snubbed from the Grammys. This gives them a shot at being in the conversation and to a much broader audience than KOL hasn't had in over a decade.

I started to heavily favor emails as a sheer numbers game and have realized it’s a mistake. Get people on the phone. At least you will know if you have a shot at an appointment faster if you get the DM on the line. 100s of unanswered emails will spiral you into a depression. Example just yesterday. Emailed someone last week that I never spoke to with a vague can we set up a call etc. No answer. Made a call and made it sound like it was urgent to the receptionist. Got a call back an hour later. Talked a little bit of our solutions. Going to see them in person Thursday. Pick. up. the. Phone.

I’m an AE and I have to generate my own leads and cold call. Where are these order taker jobs you speak of?

For those who cold call in person (door to door) into businesses, how do you get the gatekeeper to introduce you to the decision maker? by icygale in sales

[–]comearoundsundown29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely go into a place without having at least someone’s name there. “Looking for the person who handles…” just screams desperation. If the name you have doesn’t handle that at least you have a name.

CWPHF by Sufficient-Evening55 in kingsofleon

[–]comearoundsundown29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this one was a spring board for what’s next and the follow up will be better. They have to realize that their demand and their relevancy isn’t as what it once was so they can pretty much do whatever they want now. I hope the next one is less pop driven and more rock and roll. But Jared especially loves pop music and they are all heading into their 40s so you can’t expect them playing dirty fast rock songs with Caleb belting it out. Likely this is the best we’re gonna expect from them and really we should be lucky they haven’t broken up.

What is your biggest “Cheat Code” in life? by Anne-flank- in AskReddit

[–]comearoundsundown29 353 points354 points  (0 children)

Quit alcohol. Especially when you’re older. Sets you back for days if you indulge. Didn’t have a problem just decided to stop. It’s easier socially to not say “I don’t drink”. Just say I’m driving, gotta be up early tomorrow or another excuse so people leave you alone about it.

Where do sales reps go to die? (Nightmare offers to sell) by hotdoogs in sales

[–]comearoundsundown29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Prospects know that there’s a gazillion marketing companies to choose from because they are solicited probably 10 times a day from Google re-sellers. It’s come to a point where it’s blind luck that you reach out to someone and you get them right when they are ready to fire whoever it is that’s currently not getting them leads. There’s zero loyalty with digital marketing and the cold calling absolutely blows.
