Review
The follow-up to their 2003 breakthrough release, Le Chemin, 300 Lésions finds KYO expanding on their sound to embrace a darker facet of the band. It charted very well, peaking at number one on the album charts in both France and Belgium, and number two in Switzerland, and surpassed Le Chemin in terms of sales on the strength of two singles, “Contact” and “Sarah.” ~ Gregory McIntosh, Rovi| 300 Kilos de Goma (1999 Album by Los 4 Grandes del Norte) | |

300 Lésions is a 2004 album recorded by French pop-rock act Kyo. It was released on December 28, 2004, and achieved huge success in France, Belgium (Wallonia) and Switzerland, where it was respectively #1, #1 and #2. This album, entirely composed by the band, is its third album overall and remains to date its second most successful one. It provided two singles : "Contact" (#8 in France, #11 in Belgium, #37 in Switzerland) and "Sarah" (#33 in France, #31 in Belgium, #65 in Switzerland).
The lyrics, mainly written by Benoît Poher, are more gloomy than on band's previous albums (e.g. "Ce soir" ou "L'Enfer"). Florian Dubos performs three songs : "Révolution", "Je te rêve encore" and "L'Assaut des regards".
