If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my iPod & many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

A good album for your first KOL purchase - By: Cairnwilliam, 29 Nov 2008 
As a newcomer to KOL, having seen & liked KOL at several festival gigs on television this year (2008), I decided to buy a couple of their albums, this one, & Because of the Times.
OBTN is definitely my favourite - a real "grower". There's a sense of atmosphere, & production values recalling at times both U2 & Big Country, whilst very definitely remaining uniquely Kings of Leon.
Whilst I like a number of the tracks on BOTT, I find some of the writing on it somewhat clunky & disjointed - great rock anthemy stuff for earlier KOL fans, no doubt - but OBTN is for me a far more mature piece of writing, with great themes, transitions, subtle but insistent riffs that really grow on you, great vocals.
For me, what it does is something really important for an album - it makes you want to put it on again, & to listen right through.
So, if you're new to KOL & like their more recent sounds, buy this
Kings Of Modern American Rock - By: Mr. P. Murphy, 29 Nov 2008 Like a lot of people I bought based on "Sex On Fire" & quite liked "Use Somebody" too. Thing is, when I listened to thisin my car after buying, I realised right from the opening "Closer" that there is quite a lot more to it that those songs. I am a music lover & buy a lot of cds based on a whim but this is one of those albums that stands out & I know I will never grow tired of this. The lead singers voice is just outstanding & sounds just as good live from when Ive seen them on TV, they are also all fantastic musicians. Rarely do bass players stand outin bands but here along with the drums & lead guitar it affords the band the credibility few of todays bands have.
Far from being a sell-out pop album which some people have said, it is one of the best rock albums ive bought all year, & a lot of people seem to agree with that. Bands do have to evolve & you can be sure that this was a genuine band progression, after all that whole new wave sound ala "The Strokes" is on the way out. Reason they are more popular now is simply because they are better. There are one or two fillers & I do agree that "Use Somebody" is a tad poppy at first listen(still great), but allin all a solid album from a rock solid band. Glad now I bought this instead of the new Razorlight album.
BIG LET DOWN - By: Norman M. MacLean, 29 Nov 2008 
Very much looking forward to hearing this album but was very disappointed by the whole thing. I found it really boring with little variation.
Best yet - By: Disc, 28 Nov 2008 I simply believe that this is their most musically accomplished album to date. I haven't been overly keen on their previous efforts, feeling that their sound was a little contrived.
I'm a fan of progressive rock & metal, Tool, The Mars Volta, Sigur Ros, Exlosionsin the Sky etc...I am not a pop fan & thoroughly disagree that this is some sort of pop/rock 'sellout' album. It is beautifully written, expressive & emotional.
Well done KOL, this is the first one I've actually bought! The music also stands out live compared with their old music, this is a really positive progression for the band.
