As ██│ Caleb says, the pouty bad boys of yesteryear are long gone. It makes ██│ sense when you consider the bandÆs chronology: it was with their fourth ██│ album, the moody æOnly By The NightÆ, that things skyrocketed for Kings ██│ Of Leon, with ubiquitous hits æSex On FireÆ and æUse SomebodyÆ finally ██│ connecting with fans in the US. Now, with record number eight, theyÆve ██│ bottled everything learned on the road in the three (slightly more ██│ underwhelming) albums since, while still reconnecting with the best ██│ parts of what made the world love these boisterous, unruly rockers in ██│ the first place. ██│ ██│ Lead single æThe BanditÆ channels the playful energy of KOL all-timers ██│ æThe BucketÆ and æKing of the RodeoÆ, with its earworm riff and vivid ██│ lyrics reminding us that storytelling, daydreaming about cowboys and ██│ reckless adventures has always been what the Followills do best. ItÆs ██│ clever to introduce the new album to the world with this crowd-pleasing ██│ track, while more vulnerable ballads and lucid battlecries patiently ██│ wait in the wings. ██│ ██│ There are meditations on growing older (the wistful æFairytaleÆ) and ██│ statements on climate change (æClaire And EddieÆ), interspersed with ██│ love letters to quiet, domestic romance. ôOne more night, one more ██│ night will you stay here,ö Caleb sings on the albumÆs title track, ██│ urging for the world to slow down for just a moment û itÆs surprising, ██│ refreshing even, from the frontman of what used to be the ██│ quintessential party band. ██│ ██│ Kings Of Leon spend the whole album toying with what fans might expect ██│ û and clearly have great fun doing so. Take the funk-inflected bassline ██│ of æStormy WeatherÆ, or the seductive, nostalgic lyrics of æGolden ██│ Restless AgeÆ, which muse on youth: ôYouÆre only passing through a form ██│ of you / I look in your eyes and thereÆs a rageö. ██│ ██│ The dominant feeling on æWhen You See YourselfÆ is one of introspective ██│ contemplation. æSupermarketÆ, first introduced to via Instagram as an ██│ acoustic ballad called æGoing NowhereÆ last March, reworks demos dating ██│ back to 2008 and speaks of ôgoing nowhereö, but, most importantly, ██│ being someone who will ônever be whole again / Until I get cleanö. ██│ ██│ Confessions of past errors and the dissection of situations that just ██│ arenÆt fun anymore earn the album a wisdom, where Kings Of Leon of the ██│ past might have preferred some kind of confrontation. ôIs this the ██│ world I belong to / Or just a shade of light?ö Caleb asks on æTime in ██│ DisguiseÆ, reckoning with his life lived under the spotlight for so ██│ long. ██│ ██│ Yet there are plenty of high-energy bursts of light you can already see ██│ bringing a crowd to life, too. æEchoingÆ has the giddy adrenaline of ██│ the bandÆs electric first two albums, the aforementioned æYouth & Young ██│ ManhoodÆ (2003) and æAha Shake HeartbreakÆ (2004). And æA WaveÆ shifts ██│ from mournful keys to dynamic, almost jubilant riffs as the frontman ██│ confess a yearning to cleanse himself: ôOh, wave crash down on me / ██│ Until IÆm whole again.ö ██│ ██│ Somewhere between wisdom and adrenaline, the best track on æWhen You ██│ See YourselfÆ finds Kings Of Leon at their most romantic. ôIÆll love ██│ you Ætil the day is goneö Caleb sings on æFairytaleÆ û the frontman is ██│ married to model Lily Aldridge, with whom he has two children. His ██│ brothers Nathan and Jared and cousin Matthew are all husbands and dads ██│ too; there is a sense of unified, level-headed gratitude to live û at ██│ long last û a quiet life. The violins soar, CalebÆs voice whispers and ██│ reverberates, and you finally get a sense of what pure happiness sounds ██│ like. ██│ ██│ Throughout æWhen You See YourselfÆ, the frontman strains his voice less ██│ than on past records û which would sometimes muddle lyrics, but cut ██│ through any instrument with prickly tension û though itÆs still ██│ incomparable: tender and filled with tragedy one moment, electric and ██│ fearless the next. WeÆre unlikely to be totally rid of guitars on a ██│ Kings Of Leon album any time soon, but there are more daring rhythms ██│ and more sophisticated production here. It might be thanks to the ██│ bandÆs super-producer Markus Dravs, returning for a second record after ██│ æWALLSÆ, but importantly itÆs perhaps a result of Kings Of Leon being ██│ more curious and energised in themselves. ██│ ██│ If there was a hump between 2011Æs dreary æCome Around SundownÆ and ██│ 2016Æs poppy æWALLSÆ, theyÆre long past it now. WeÆll be seeing the ██│ Kings for a long time to come û and if every next album is like this ██│ one, thatÆs a cause for celebration. ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: http://kingsofleon.com/ ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 1    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
