This is the album Youth & Young Manhood which was Kings Of Leon debut album released in 2003. We can see it is a animated picture of all the band members. The reason they have done this is because it is their debut album they wanted their faces of it so they would be more well known and it would be a start of their career. The way they have the four heads together represents them as a gang and draws attention to their facial hair which is a stereotypical rock star hair style from the 70s. The way they are positioned in a circular fashion also signifies that they have a knock ledge of rock history as the cover is reminiscent of rock bands in the 70s such as 'The Greatfall Dead' 'Led Zeppelin' and 'The Eagles & Byrds'. The use of the white background creates a sense of nostalgia as it makes it look for old fashioned. This is part of the image they wanted to portray as they are trying to align themselves with iconic rock bands from the 70s. This signifies their organic nature.
