Oct 26, 2010For every interesting moment, there's a dull one. None of the songs compel me to make a return visit, though I suppose it could sound better after repeat listens. Not because the music's complex, but because it might sound familiar and comfortable after a while.

Nov 1, 2012They still got a nice flair in their songs, but it's not that special as in 'Only By The Night'. The lyrics got ruder, the whole appearance of the CD is kind of drab. Yet, they've got a couple of great songs on here, too, so you won't do bad with checking it out. They still make nice music.

Feb 19, 2012Once you've accepted that Kings of Leon have lost their edge, Come Around Sundown goes down a little bit easier. That's until you listen to a track from Because Of The Times, Aha Shake Heartbreak, or Youth and Young Manhood than you hate it.

Dec 22, 2010Come Around Sundown is, and it ends up being no different from a lot of the phony populism in the air these days.

Dec 21, 2010While enjoyable and familiar, this set of songs reflects a band who knows what music they don't want to be making but haven't--at least, not yet--determined what it is they want to be defined by instead.

Dec 21, 2010Sundown is still considerably boring when compared to the likes of the Kings' first three albums. It's also too long, the back end sacked with faceless mid-tempo songs devoid of hooks that can't compare to the mini-epics up front.
