Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Aha Shake Heartbreak is an album by Kings of Leon, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 29 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Bucket”, on 20 lists with a best position of #28.
Aha Shake Heartbreak, the second Kings of Leon album, hit Europe on November 1, 2004, with America waiting until February 2005 and getting a different cover, one that nods to Queen's A Night at the Opera. Ethan Johns produced it for RCA, and the Followills, brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared and their cousin Matthew, out of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, sound loose, rowdy and tangled: scrappy garage rock with Southern grit and a bluesy slur, the words half swallowed and the guitars snapping at each other.
It's also the only Kings of Leon album with a Parental Advisory sticker, thanks to the language on "Taper Jean Girl", "Rememo", "Soft" and "Four Kicks". Britain took to it first, with "The Bucket", "Four Kicks" and "King of the Rodeo" all released there as singles.
