The debut album by Kings of Leon takes its name from a Pentecostal Bible verse. The album was recorded in Malibu and Nashville with Ethan Johns. The album was critically acclaimed and a hit in the UK and Ireland, but failed to make an impact elsewhere in the world. It has since sold 1 million copies.
"Molly's Chambers," "Wasted Time" and "California Waiting" were all released as singles. "Spiral Staircase" featured on the PS3 game MotorStorm. "Holy Roller Novocaine" was featured in the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. "Red Morning Light" was also featured on a Ford Focus commercial, and as the opening song in FIFA 2004 by EA Sports.
Caleb Followill since expressed regret for re-recording "California Waiting" in the faster form it appears here compared to the slower EP version. Some versions of the album include alternate versions of "Dusty" and hidden track "Talahina Sky".
