Well, I basically asked for this one just to get it over with, so I felt obligated to listen to it. As suspected, it’s a much more enjoyable affair. It at least feels of a piece and I do think “Sex is on Fire” works just fine for what it is. “Use Somebody” is catchy and there were a few others like “Revelry” and the opener that I didn’t mind. They’re a better mainstream alternative band than the southern garage whatever they were trying to be on those other records, and I don’t care if this is a more boring record - it at least has some memorable tunes. That said, I found myself imagine what these songs would sound like with any other singer and came to the conclusion that the answer is basically My Morning Jacket. That band probably could have made this exact same record if they wanted to and it would have been less annoying vocally. So then. Since I willed this one into being I’m going to take a shot at predicting this will, mercifully, be the last Kings of Leon album on this list.
