Friend Recommendation:
Almost exactly a decade after their debut Youth & Young Manhood, Kings of Leon's sixth album arrives amid a rejuvenated sense of interest in the band. There is an energy here that wasn't present in the somewhat mellow Come Around Sundown.
It is less earnest, with clearer dynamics between dark and light in its varied rhythms. They go for moments of nuance (listen for strings on 'Comeback Story'), but the album's finest moment was recorded almost as an afterthought. 'Don't Matter', a relentless belter, sees the band get their Queens of the Stone Age on.
Mechanical Bull finds the Tennessee rockers recapturing the white-lightning-in-a-bottle spark that made their early stuff so fun.
