New Releases

THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
KINGS OF LEON...Come Around Sundown (2010)
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)
This was the first album I've ever listened to by Kings Of Leon. They have made a big splash in the music world as their albums are selling well (this one peaked at number 2 on the Billboard album charts). I thought of U2 while listening to the record, while all the while they were defining themselves very well. It's a catchy melodic album, has some good tracks on it. If you're more into classic rock sounding albums this is not for you. If you're open to new music check it out, you'll like it
