What do you think? Anything I’ve missed?

The new Kings of leon album has been leaked onto the net and not that I downloaded it its brilliant! I’ve already pre-ordered it and its money well spent. Kings of Leon are consistently releasing amazing albums; I don’t think I can name many other bands with four consecutive albums that have been this good. Highlites on the album from first listen are; ‘Sex On Fire’, ‘Crawl’ and probably my favourite ‘Use Somebody’.

The album is being released officially on the 22rd of September and have announced a UK arena tour for the following dates;

• December 1st - Brighton Centre 
• December 2nd - Nottingham Trent FM Arena
• December 4th - Newcastle Metro Arena
• December 5th - Sheffield Arena
• December 7th - Glasgow SECC
• December 8th - Liverpool Echo Arena
• December 10th - Birmingham NIA
• December 11th - London O2 Arena
• December 14th - Bournemouth BIC
• December 16th - Manchester Evening News Arena
• December 17th - Cardiff International Arena
