I don't even like the Alabama Shakes
but saying that they are Kings Of Leon soundalikes in the same way that the Bravery was to the Killers is putting things totally out of context, Bravery and Killers were appearing around the same time (plus both bands used to look a awful lot like each other), KoL and AS have like a 6-7 year gap, KoL already become a big mainstream act totally away from their initial "Southern" sound and image and AS are still in their first album...
And I think it's kind of ridiculous to say "utterly predictable" just because it's a band playing a more traditional sound (soul/country/blues-based rock music) with much more limitations that contemporary music has nowadays. What's funny is that you dont' see anyone here talking about how much the Ital or Blondes' album are "predictable" or "referential", even they being house albums...
