3rd full-length studio album by Kings of Leon is like the two previous albums once again with producer-duo Angelo Petraglia and Ethan Johns.
Unlike many artists, these guys make better and better music, instead of having trouble reaching their initial state, I think. I like this much better than the debut. The music has become tighter and more alt. rock-styled, and then the country rock style is almost gone by now. The track "Charmer" is a noise rock and punk rock song, which has a lot of Pixies ("Debaser") in it, but nevertheless the originality, it's still quite strong. I think "On Call" or "Ragoo" or maybe "Charmer" was the first song I ever heard with the band.

All in all the album is the band's clearly best album so far.
