The new Kings of Leon album, “Come Around Sundown” has its moments – but doesn’t hit its mark.
It is kinda like a sophomore-jinx – even if this new one is not their 2nd album, they had a lot mainstream expectations with Come Around Sundown.
Their last album was great and sold 6 million copies. That album made KOL a household name.
Some critics are saying that KOL is the U2 for the next generation. I don’t see that happening.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t totally dislike this new album. I think it is mediocre to say the least. There are some stand out songs such as the first single “Radioactive”. Iman, our boss, likes “Pyro” – not a bad song. My favorite is “Back Down South”.
The rest of album is ehh. A bit slow at times. If a song comes on the IPod, I probably won’t skip to the next one, but just let it play out.
