Kings of Leon backtracks to Southern roots

Kings Of Leon’s previous album, Only by the Night, was the perfect album to sit around to at night with a warm drink and snuggle up to the fireplace.


Come around Sundown is the perfect album to play while sitting on the beach and watching the sunset.

This album cannot disappoint hardcore Kings of Leon fans.

Kings of Leon has redeemed themselves among their loyal fans with their new album Come Around Sundown. The 13 track album was released on Oct. 19 in the U.S. This is their fifth studio album.

The first single “Radioactive,” hasn't been highly received on the charts yet, but the album is sure to top the charts. The remix version of “Radioactive” has a children’s choir singing the chorus towards the end. But, in the album version they are not featured.

The heart wrenching ballad, “The End” is able to tug at the strings of any lonely heart. The lyric, “I just wanna hold you…Take you by your hand…And tell you that you’re good enough,” makes the idea of love seem in reach.

There’s more country and soul in this album, almost like their second album Aha Shake Heartbreak.

Their fourth album, Only by the Night, was a way to make the band more mainstream. Come Around Sundown may have the ability to make the mainstream fans appreciate their sound more.

It also has the ability to make them break away from that mainstream sound.

The album cover art accurately depicts the overall mellow vibe of the album.

Caleb Followill’s voice is the most unique in the rock genre. His ability to match his rugged voice with the Kings Of Leon sound is unbelievable.

The iTunes deluxe version of the album features a new song called “Celebration,” along with the remixed version of “Radioactive.” Another version of the single “Closer” from their previous album is also featured on the deluxe version.

Noticeable songs that are a must buy are “Mary,” “The Face,” and “Beachside.”

The bandmates returned to their true Tennessee Southern roots, which gave the album a more relaxing feel. But, they produced the album in New York City.

The album is easily going to make the top albums of 2010 list.

Every song on the album has the hint of familiarity with the band’s sound, but it’s a new way of the band accepting that they are now mainstream, even if it took Kings Of Leon four albums to make that so.
