Sep 26, 2013Solid effort after the major breakthrough of only by the night! pyro, pony up, pickup truck are the stand out tracks on this album. also good to see that there was no sex on fires or use somebody's on this album.

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.

Jun 29, 2012Experimenting with country elements is an avenue Kings of Leon really should not be going down. An how ironic is it that, the very thing they've been taking a lot of heat for (sounding more commercial) is what saves this album from being a failure. Contrary to popular belief Pyro is not the standout track. That honor would have to go to "The Immortals" a song with true conviction.
-
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.

Oct 14, 2011Nice album, every song impacted with such positive emotions. If you come home after hard working day you just turn on KOL's "Come Around Sundown" and your day definitely becomes better.

Jan 9, 2011A solid rockin' album from the Kings of Leon. Different than all of their other albums, it shows them using their creativity to make BIG music. Would love to see them do some of these songs live. Go Kings! (btw Pitchfork, you are too full of yourselves. This album is much better than you say it is!)

Jan 9, 2011es un disco cojonudo
aunque le falta un temazo del estilo de use somebody -
Dec 31, 2010(8.0) Formidable rock/pop album (even if the classic pop elements are not around most of the time, you can definitely feel the pop-song all around "Come around sundown").
-
Dec 18, 2010The only way I can describe this album is - lacking in emotional connection, dull, boring, nothing groundbreaking. Only partly saved by 2 or 3 decent tracks. If KOL continue down this track they will be irrelevant in the next few years.

Dec 2, 2010Not a bad effort by the kings of Leon but for me it was still a considerable difference from their best album. still its a must listen for all kings of Leon fans and offers a few good tracks.

Nov 7, 2010mmh I'm disappointed. I have the feeling, these guys don't have ideas anymore. maybe its a creative crisis, but this album sounds boring. If Caleb wouldn't have his great distinctive voice, nobody would buy this album.

Oct 26, 2010As soon as the first track plays u know ur listening to Kings of Leon. The powerful, thumping bass line in KOL's new album "Come Around Sundown" is dominant throughout the album. These guys are REALLY good, and the album is GREAT! 9/10!! MUST BUY!

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.

Oct 21, 2010Kol have alot of haters out there it shows when people give this zero outta 10. This is a great ablum from a great band, songs like: mary, the face, pony up, birthday and pickup truck are major highlights on the album. kol will continue to get better and they will remain the best band on the planet for some time.

Oct 20, 2010After listening to Youth and Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heart Break and Because of the times and bloody loving them, I now find my self feeling cheated and pissed off by their latest failure. Kings of Leon have turned into the laughing stock of music. They are quiet possibly the most un-humble group of ex-musicians i can think of. Their credibility is now in the negatives. Gutted.

Oct 20, 2010What a disappointment. I was hoping for something more innovative rather than some mundane, ho hum, material that falls way short of my expectations. I guess I will have be content listening to their previous efforts. What happened to the band I so loved?

Oct 19, 2010Utter garbage. cannot believe this is the same band that produced 3 outstanding albums to start off their music careers. Because of the times is one of, if not my favourite album of the 2000's. This doesn't even deserve to be compared to their first 3 albums, let alone put in the same sentence.

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.
