Kings Of Leon do not consider their album to be "easy listening"Kings Of Leon's frontman Caleb Followill slammed critics who described the band's recent album Come Around Sundown as "easy listening" and "stadium-friendly". He also denied that the record has been an attempt to appeal mass audience.

Caleb Followill claimed that he and his bandmates has not been thinking about big sales while working on the record.

"I don't know, I think at this point, we could do something with me tapping my foot and singing into a can and critics would be like "Oh, it's so anthemic" or "Oh, it's so stadium-friendly", or something like that", said singer.

He also revealed that he has been dissatisfied with the quality of the album and particularly the first single, Radioactive.

"I didn't think it would be a single, let alone the first one. I mean, the vocal, I mess up on the first verse, I mess up on the second verse, I mean, my voice is off, so I really didn't think the label would want that as a single, but they wanted it first", claimed he.

Come Around Sundown has become Kings Of Leon's fifth studio effort. The previous one, named Only By The Night, was released in 2008.

The deluxe version of Come Around Sundown, released last week, additionally include several live tracks, recorded during the band's gig in at London's Hyde Park this June.
