So i've finally sat down to listen to the mighty Kings of Leon's new album. I know i know i should have done earlier, but i just felt that it would either shatter my love of Kings or make them too big for their boots.
So beginning with The End.... i'm sorry but it really doesn't do it for me. It doesn't have the Kings of Leon feel to it. That's not to say that the whole album is devoid of that sleek jam rockin' that the Followil's fabulously create! Radioactive for instance is certainly a steering wheel slappin' tune to drive along to in the summer sun! But i'm afraid it doesn't get better. In fact it peaks at the second song! I wasn't impressed with album at all really, very disappointed! It feels as if they have just tried to be what they were, but leaving out the main ingredient! soul! Caleb is singing too clear this album! Where is the mystery in what he is saying? This album sounds too Hollywood, like they are playing the Band game. Stick to your roots boys!
What do you think? Disagree? Tell me (:
