KINGS OF LEON
When You See Yourself ★★★ JAMES CABOOTER
Tennessee’s finest teeter towards stately territory on this first collection in four years. Caleb Followill’s maturing voice caresses the pensive pulse of slow builds like 100,000 People. However, the sparring twin guitars remain thrillingly juvenile, rescuing KOL from the dad rock precipice.
