Come Around Sundown- Kings of Leon (Album Review)

Whether it be the fact that they are considered southern rock or it be because I have every album they've made--Kings of Leon have done it again! Though the album was released in 2010, its never too late to write a review on this artwork. In terms of their best, I would say that this would be barely behind their initial first hit, Only By the Night, which allowed them to truly rise to stardom selling approximately 6 million copies. With hit songs such as "Radioactive," Kings of Leon are recognized by the unique vocals from Caleb Followill, the lead singer, and remind fans that they still have their catchy riffs in their songs. Many enjoy the old sound they are trying to get back to. Back in the garage rock days they hand in previous albums, songs such as "Birthday" seem like throwbacks to their pre fame days. Other songs such as "Beachside" and "Mi Amigo" are perfect for days spent outdoors with friends and family. They truly convey a more soutner style of their usual alternative sound. This band of brothers easily entices listeners to listen through the full album. There has never been an instance where I've listened to only one song. It reminds me of that one slogan that lays states, "you can't just have one!" Or in this case, you can't listen to just one song. Despite this new form of expression from Kings of Leon, this was not one of their most successful albums, yet I will proudly say I'm a huge fan. Perhaps the new attempt was not a fan favorite, it was named top ten best albums of 2013 by Rolling Stone. Although this may seem like a success, the amount sold was not near as much as their previous album which appealed to a larger audience. The southern sound appeals to the south which won't sell as well up north. I frankly don't think this was one of their worst compositions, I will forever consider myself a huge fan. KOL LIVE ON. If you like southern rock, and good times, I suggested you download this as soon as possible.
