Which is partly why the band's sixth studio album, 2013's Mechanical Bull, comes as sweet relief. Perhaps not surprisingly, the band's follow-up, 2010's Come Around Sundown, while by no means a disappointment, seemed strained, as if the band was trying too hard to balance its early sound with its later hits, all while digging even deeper into its Southern roots. Kings of Leon hit it big in 2008 with their album Only by the Night and the accompanying one-two punch of singles 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody.' The success of those singles propelled them into the upper echelon of arena rock bands and found them at a crossroads between the post-punk-influenced sound of their previous albums and the anthemic, U2-influenced approach that they'd begun to explore on Only by the Night.
