Funny thing cultural relativism. It's the greasy fuel that lightens up the dullest of chatter on the tube or down the pub. One man's Dark Side of the Moon is another's Blood on the Tracks. But once in a while an album comes along which makes a nonsense of such equivocation. Jump over hedges and run through walls to find your nearest copy of Kings Of Leon Because of the Times dear readers. It is an album of such breadth and scope, such ambition and soul, that it runs the risk of you dumping the rest of your record collection in the (cyber) bin and just sitting in a dark room listening to it for a very long time indeed. Stand out tracks include Knocked Up, Fans and The Runner. But then most of the tracks are pretty standout to be honest. Musical fresh air for Spring.
