Come Around Sunday -KOL has done it again!
Kings of Leon (KOL) has produced a followup album to Only by the Night called Come Around Sunday that came out this past October. The album did quite well in foreign markets but didn't enjoy as much air-time here in the states. Despite breaking the record for digital albums sales in it's first week in iTunes with over 49,000 albums sold. Come Around Sunday sticks to the same aesthetic that KOL used for Only by the Night but has employed richer melodies, thickly layered and ethereal vocals, and more dynamic rhythms. Perhaps with over saturation of the single "Use Somebody" from the previous album the American market wasn't yet ready to hear from KOL again so soon. But the newest record deserved just as much air-time as the latter. If you're in the market for a great summer album to blare on your Toyota Tercel's crappy sound system you've come to the right place. The frontman for KOL, Caleb Followill, will have you singing along on the second spin. His strained powerhouse vocals are just right to put you in the mood to roll down the windows so that jerk in the next car will turn off Soulja Boy. Besides your Tercel doesn't have air-conditioning anyways.
