The World We Live In 10. Goodnight, Travel Well 11. A Crippling Blow Success came fast for The Killers, maybe too fast. The impossibly hooky &ldquo,Mr Brightside&rdquo, from their debut, coupled with faultless synth anthem &ldquo,Somebody Told Me&rdquo,, turned them into the most ubiquitous band in the world overnight and had them batting away Glastonbury headline offers before the Hot Fuss campaign was even over. Sam s Town followed all too quickly, trying to stylistically catch up with their status as stadium rock giants in waiting, but like their debut was really only carried by a couple of strong singles. Which would make this the perfect--or necessary--time to deliver the masterpiece the world expects. By shamelessly cherry-plundering the number 1 acts of the 80s not only have they managed to dramatically shunt the concept of filler from the record, but every track acts like it s performing last on Top Of The Pops circa 1987. Result. From the sparkling Pet Shop Boys obedience of &ldquo,Human&rdquo, to the massive Human League via Starship chorus of... | |  | Average Customer Rating:     (94) Kings Of Leon Price: £10.79  (29 available)

Be Somebody 11. Cold Desert Already on course to be one of the year s biggest sellers, Only By the Night has sealed Kings of Leon s unlikely position as Britain s favourite American rock band. The Followill brothers (and cousin) have always been tagged as part of a southern rock tradition of family bands such as the Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd, a label they vehemently refuted. But the skinny lads certainly looked like a classic rock act, even as they took musical inspiration from indie contemporaries The Strokes and eighties new wave acts such as The Cure and New Order. Only By the Night is effectively a sequel to 2006 s terrific Because of the Times, their third record and the first where they nailed their own sound, a striking amalgam of bluesy vocals and post-punk primitivism. In comparison Only By the Night consolidates rather than advances their style. The appropriately incoherent Sex on Fire, already a chart topping single, is catchy but sounds lightweight next to songs like the fierce Crawl and the stadia-r... | |  | Average Customer Rating:     (38) Snow Patrol Price: £7.85  (34 available)

The Lightning Strike The Snow Patrol we meet on A Hundred Million Suns is a band facing the same dilemma that Coldplay met on 2008 s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, having conquered the world with a rousing, melancholy brand of MOR indie, where now? On the surface, A Hundred Million Suns seems to suggest, nowhere especially new: producer Jacknife Lee, who first worked with the band on 2003 s Final Straw and went on to work with the likes of U2 and REM returns to the fold, and an opening brace of songs suggest that a successful formula--chiming guitars, gentle builds, and Gary Lightbody s quavering, tremulous vocal--persists. Still, Take Back The City, a windswept, electronic-tinged rocker, rather does for this band what Dakota did for Stereophonics, proving that a spot of sleek, synthetic motorik is not beyond their grasp, and there s a new, bright optimism to Lightbody s lyrics that sets the likes of The Planets Bend Between Us in light relief to some of Snow Patrol s earlier work.

Foo Fighters - Keep The Car Running Say what you like about BBC Radio 1, its DJs or its playlists, they re definitely getting one thing right through their commitment to live music--particularly with regards to the often quirky fruits that tumble forth from its Live Lounge. Volume 3 of the double CD collections from these sessions arrives packed with more than enough in the way of gems to offset the few inevitable run-of-the-mill single performances. Those justifying the format when modifying their own tracks include Kasabian working Sympathy for the Devil into LSF, Duffy bringing some grit to a stripped down Mercy, absent as she s trotted it out endlessly elsewhere, and a bare, emotional Daddy s Gone from Glasvegas. The real value of the set though is found in amongst Girls Aloud s sensitive version of With Every Heartbeat (originally by Robyn), Ida Maria s feisty Sweet About Me (Gabriella Cilmi), REM sketching Munich (Editors) out with mandolin refinement, Kate Nash absolutely owning a cute, giddy Fluorescent Adolescen... | |  | Average Customer Rating:     (8) Stereophonics Price: £9.00  (36 available)
