Kings Of Leon: Ranking Their Albums From Worst To Best
6. Come Around Sundown
Continuing on from where mega album Only By The Night left off, Come Around Sundown saw the band introduce a little bit of country into there sound while still maintaining Only By The Night's core sound. Did the album work that well? Not really, no. Their weakest album, Come Around Sundown sounds like an album of songs that weren't quite strong enough to make it on the previous album.
'Back Down South' is a bit of a lifeless country song that sees the band embrace their Tennessee roots, while lead single 'Radioactive' sounds like the band are trying to make another 'Sex On Fire', with the opening riff of the former played in a very similar style to the latter. The album just doesn't have the bite and attitude of the Kings of Leon of old.
It's not all bad news; 'Pyro', one of the other singles from the album, is a hauntingly beautiful song. Even though it does sound like an reject of the previous album, it's the delicacy of it that makes it stand out as a highlight. However,it can't stop Come Around Sundown being Kings Of Leon's weakest album.
Highlights: 'Pyro', 'Beach Side'
