• Riferendosi a Only By The Night, 2xLP, Album, RE, 180, 11 I just got a brand new copy of this release and I was blown away by the overall quality. The audio is as vibrant as it get for vinyl, very very clear.

Not so long ago they were your average sized indie act, scraping out a living packing 3,0000 people into a ‘insert-shitty-beer-here' Academy and milling around the middle ground of festival line-ups like a particularly wary Labour MP at re-election time.

Now look at them. If last single Sex On Fire is anything to go by, they're more popular than lesbianism. Lipstick lesbianism. And, more prosaically, filling stadia, headlining Glastonbury and selling records in a quantity that makes A&R men offer you their pants. And their kidneys. And their children.

But while the last record – Because Of The Times – was made by a band who weren't currently in thrall to 80,000 people standing in a muddy field (and was all the better for it) Only By The Night Is. Whereas previously we opened with rolling 7+ minute epics minus anything approaching a chorus, here things begin so stadium friendly they should come with an overpriced programme.

Not necessarily a bad thing: Crawl pulses intriguingly towards the robotic funk of Muse, albeit crossed with the swampy Bayou undertow which Caleb's yowl can't help but give. The sleek Closer is all spotlighted solos and dry-ice atmospherics, and the elastic twang of Sex On Fire makes an undeniably great single.

At this point, you figure that KoL might just get away with it. That their rebirth into one of them there BIG bands is merely a matter of time. But you'd be wrong. Post that hat-trick of hits, Only By The Night totally hits the buffers.

Use Somebody is soft, flabby and leans heavily on Jared's unfortunate tendency to resort to Edge-aping fretboard twiddling to fill out gaps. Manhattan sounds like the boys have been spending too long hanging around in hotel bars listening to jazz pastiches of themselves and 17 is Richard Marx doing All The Young Dudes. Badly.

By the time things labour to a close with the plodding Cold Desert, you feel duty bound to listen to the start of the album again: just to make sure that you didn't imagine it and that yes, those first three songs were sort of ace.

Therein lies the problem with momentum. It can take you places you don't want to go. This is an album which feels like it was made quickly, not because of artists reaching a terminal velocity of creativity, but to take maximum advantage of an audience who may not be there this time next year. Which is such a shame. But as the Kings look out over the sea of faces that will populate the enormodomes of their future, will they care?

Only By The Night Kings Of Leon Zip Code

As if their towering headlining performance at Glastonbury wasn't enough, here comes the Southern-fried quartet's fourth album to prove once and for all that Kings Of Leon are now bona fide world-beaters.

In the context of a career arc this level of creativity makes perfect sense. Their sound has had a good five years to grow from post-adolescent indie to full-blown, manly stadium glory. All those U2 support slots have now been fed back into the machine. And, like U2, a timely change of production team (losing Ethan Johns but retaining Angelo Petraglia) brings a new focus. Nathan Followill's drums have to be one of the most perfect rock engines around at the moment. They never swamp a ticking grower like I Want You but still throw enough flourishes to push the songs into the red. Meanwhile cousin Matthew's guitar scorches the mix like a flamethrower. Filled with string-bending clichés; but cliches of the most enjoyable sort.

The one thing that really shows the band's confidence is their willingness to slow down and really attack these songs. Caleb claims that medication's effects influenced the writing and indeed, the droning insistence can be almost hallucinatory. Interestingly the first single, Sex On Fire - returning them to the fire and brimstone, gothic territory of their peripatetic father's preacher roots - is the one track that comes closest to the Strokes-aping sound that held them back in the past. But Caleb's muzzy, straining voice pushes them beyond arch post-modern irony from the big city. In interviews Caleb's talked about the boys tackling their 'roots' again, and this album wears its colours proudly.

The U2 analogies don't stop there. Manhattan, another medium-paced stormer has the Edge's echo-fed lines running through it, albeit with more of the Kings' blues rock swagger. Obviously, the advantage of being American is that you can still believe that rock will save the world.

A minor mid-album lull, caused by perhaps too many slower numbers is broken by Be Somebody: a new wave-ish beauty that ends with a maelstrom borne on the back of Jared's rubbery bass. It only remains for Cold Desert to usher us out of the emotional devastation of this very secular three-chord church, swelling and returning at its end with optimistic verve.
