“I don’t mind sentimental girls at times”…Sounds like this Supersoaker should come with a trigger warning! Or maybe not. Casual chauvinism aside, the Followill brothers phone it in with a throwback to their Aha Shake Heartbreak days in the verse and a chiming, too-pristine chorus that reaches for the lowest common stadium-sing-along denominator. Right now, Kings Of Leon are abiding by the law of diminishing returns. All that’s left is a fulfilment of their clichéd rock‘n’roll narrative with a brethren bust-up, break up, and eventual half-arsed reunion.
