Sobre el álbum
El álbum Mechanical Bull representa un esfuerzo consciente por parte de Kings of Leon para reconectar con la energía y la inmediatez de sus primeros trabajos. Después de varios discos de sonido expansivo, la banda regresa aquí a un rock and roll más directo, crudo y sin pretensiones. El disco funciona como una síntesis de sus dos facetas: la banda de garage rock y las estrellas de estadio.Temas como "Supersoaker" recuperan la urgencia y los riffs afilados de su primera época, sonando frescos y revitalizados. La producción es menos pulida, buscando un sonido más cercano al de una banda tocando junta en una misma habitación. Por otro lado, no renuncian a crear grandes melodías, como demuestran en la emotiva "Wait for Me". "Mechanical Bull" fue recibido como un bienvenido regreso a la forma, un álbum que equilibra con acierto la nostalgia y la madurez.

Letra
My motivation is gone too soon The good vibrations all over you Act like you mean it, you mean it You've got a story you never tell Down in the delta you're ringing bells I've never seen it, seen it Back of my mind I'm on my way I see through smiles on every face I don't believe it, believe it Cuz I'm the supersoaker red, white And blew 'em all away With a kiss as unclean As the words that you say I don't mind sentimental girls at times Mr. Walker away, walker away Your flags are flying across the plains I've got a secret picking in my brain I want to see you, see you The exit sign is on my face Don't know my home, I don't know my place I just want to be there, be there Cuz I'm the supersoaker red, white And blew 'em all away With a kiss as unclean As the words that you say I don't mind sentimental girls at times Mr. Walker away, walker away I don't mind sentimental girls at times Mr. Walker away oh I don't mind sentimental girls at times I just lay it on the line, on the line I don't mind sentimental girls at times Mr. Walker away, walker away I don't mind sentimental girls at times Mr. Walker away oh - Rock City2:56

Letra
Bite your tongue Don't make a scene, dear Everybody's been here At least once before But we've been here more Your heartbreak Rolls down the window I've seen it all go And come back around And I've heard the sound The tip of your tongue The top of your lung is doing my head in I said I love don't mean nothing Unless there's something worth fighting for It's a beautiful war When I hold The warmth of your body There is nobody that I'd rather hold Shattered and cold The tip of your tongue The top of your lung is making me crazy I said I love don't mean nothing Unless there's something worth fighting for It's a beautiful war I said I love – it don't mean nothing Unless there's something worth fighting for It's a beautiful war It's a beautiful war It's a beautiful war I said I love I say I love don't mean nothing Unless there's something worth fighting for I said I love don't mean nothing Unless there's something worth fighting for It's a beautiful war It's a beautiful war It's a beautiful war It's a beautiful war - Temple4:10

There's this boy I know he's afraid of the ocean Never quite found love but he drank the love potion I'll be on the chain smoking in the basement Shattered like the windows All my life I was born to lead Worry not just leave me be I'll abide til the end And I'll take it on the chin for you my friend Parked my bag of bones back of the station He said make yourself at home so I started day drinking Said I believe in time after seven eight or nine You'll fall yourself to pieces All my life I was born to lead Worry not just leave me be I'll abide til the end And I'll take it on the chin for you my friend All my life I was born to lead Worry not just leave me be I'll abide til the end And I'll take it on the chin for you my friend I'll take it on the chin for you my friend
