Mechanical Bull by Kings of Leon
Mechanical Bull is an album by Kings of Leon, released in 2013. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 36 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Super Soaker”, on 18 lists with a best position of #3.
Mechanical Bull, the sixth studio album from Kings of Leon, rolled out on RCA in September 2013, reaching Europe and Australia first and the UK and North America a few days later. It came three years after Come Around Sundown, with Angelo Petraglia producing the Followill clan: brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared and their cousin Matthew, out of Mount Juliet, Tennessee.
The record plays like a band loosening its collar, with some of the Southern-rock and garage grit of their early days creeping back in under the big-room polish. "Super Soaker" is a sunny, jangling rush, "Wait for Me" slows to a warm sway, and "Temple" struts. It drew a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 56th Grammy Awards.
