I’m still digging Kings Of Leon’s hard-hitting single “Supersoaker” very hard. I had all but given up on these guys a little while ago, but after the release of such a sharp, exciting single, I have regained some hope that their new album Mechanical Bull will be up to par with their earlier records.
Last week the Followill-gang released another track off the album, the slow-burning “Wait For Me.” Not as crazy about this one as it reminds me off the territory that they drifted into on Come Around Sundown, and that is exactly what I didn’t want. The song is safe, and doesn’t really do much for me right now. It’s perfectly listenable and nice in parts, but it’s not up to par with “Supersoaker.” Maybe it will be a grower..
Hopefully the rest of the album will fare better. Listen to “Wait For Me” below.
