It hasn’t really been a great year for Kings Of Leon really has it? They had to leave the stage after a bunch of pigeon protestors repeatedly shat in the face of Hannah Montana dater Jared Followill, Caleb’s called all his “new” fans “fucking douchebags” for liking Sex On Fire and there new album has been loved and loathed in equal measures. I for one quite like it though this was after a few listens. The same went for their comeback single Radioactive, a tribute to coming home best said in the chorus “It’s in the water/It’s where you came from.” It’s not as stadium filling as Sex on Fire but this definitely isn’t a bad thing. The Followills seem at their most comfortable here and Calebs new found raw and spectacular vocals feeling perfect on top of the funky guitar lines. I was great to see them take a step back to the brilliance of their earlier work, even if he did mean sacrificing a great deal of respect for their charity advert styled video.
