Only by the Night (Brand:RCA Records)

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-ready "Cold Desert"
and "Manhattan". The dissonant, almost amateurish "17" is most out of
place, though Caleb Followill still bawls it with the same passion he
brings to even the clumsiest couplet. More notable are several sparse
romantic pleas that often borrow licks from classic Southern soul. The
yearning "I Want You" is little more than its title, but it certainly
convinces, while "Revelry" and the vulnerable "Use Somebody" show
signs of impending maturity. Only By the Night's simplicity certainly
has a wide appeal. --Steve Jelbert...

Darkness on the Edge of Town (Brand:Columbia)

The Roy Orbison drama, the Wall of Sound and the soul energy of Born
to Run are still present here but there's a darkness now, too, and
it's more than around the edges. The stories have more at risk, for
one thing, a definite sense of the pain that can accompany the hardest
choices. These real-world consequences are felt most strikingly in
Bruce Springsteen's newly prominent guitar--his solos are ugly and
twisted but he sounds all the stronger for it. Recorded for everyone
who has "a notion ... it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive",
Darkness on the Edge of Town might just be Springsteen's greatest
achievement. --David Cantwell...

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Brand:EMI)

Before Sgt. Pepper's, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual
art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and
Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin)
created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 3-plus decades,
one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's
evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With
Diamonds", the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and
McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64", to Harrison's
Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You", and the avant-garde
mini-suite, "A Day in the Life", Sgt. Pepper's was a milestone for
both 1960s music and popular culture in general. --Billy Altman...

Beautiful World (Brand:Polydor Group)

It's been a long ten years since Take That disbanded. Their recent
reformation and world tour offered overwhelming evidence that, far
from being forgotten, the post-Robbie quartet can still command
hysterical amounts of goodwill and adoration. Beautiful World
illustrates why this is so. Written in conjunction with
songwriter/producer John Shanks (Ashlee Simpson, Anastacia, Alanis
Morissette), the album is crammed full with the songwriting magic that
made their rise to fame so meteoric in the first place. Far from being
an exercise in nostalgia, the project moves the band in a slightly new
direction. The four come across as more mature, more democratic (all
members share songwriting credits on the album, rather than just
Barlow), and even more adept at making epic pop that somehow avoids
the cheese factor. Lead single "Patience" is a perfect example of how
powerful and accessible their songs can be. It'd be a good contender
for the album's peak moment if the rest of the tracks weren't so damn
good too. With traditional Take That style songs (the immediately
likeable "Reach Out", the brimming "Like I Never Loved You At All"),
nicely punctuated up by incongruous outings like Jason Orange's
folkish "Wooden Boat" and Mark's upbeat, Beatles-esque "Shine",
Beautiful World sets a whole new standard for a band previously known
more for their singles than their long-players.--Danny McKenna...

Raising Sand (Brand:Decca)

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and bluegrass crooner Alison Krauss
may not be the likeliest of musical combinations. But on this welcome
collaboration album, they work beautifully together, wringing a kind
of magic from other people’s songs. The key to the album is its
versatility. Between them, Krauss and Plant can handle a vast
repertoire on their own, and here they take on the lot, from folk
laments and country soul to searing blues and upbeat rock & roll.
Overseen by Elvis Costello producer T Bone Burnett and backed by high
caliber musicians like guitarist Marc Ribot and multi-instrumentalist
Mike Seeger, Raising Sand sees the duo create stellar covers of songs
by Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, Mel Tillis and The Everly Brothers,
among others. Highlights include a killer version of Roly Salley's
"Killing the Blues", and a cover of the Plant-Page collaboration
"Please Read the Letter," though in truth, it’s difficult to find a
weak spot on the whole album. --Danny McKenna...

1 (Brand:Apple)

Proving yet again their willingness to dice 'n' slice their burgeoning
legacy into new--if not exactly fresh--product, the Fab Four Minus One
released this single disc compendium of their No. 1 hits. Though
obviously superfluous to long-time Fabs faithful (who may also find
themselves quibbling over the precise definition of "No. 1 hit" and
the exclusion of seeming contenders like "Please Please Me" and
"Strawberry Fields"), newly arrived visitors from the Pleiades star
cluster and other neophytes will find it a concise and generous
(nearly 80 minutes) single-disc introduction to the band's
career-spanning, unparalleled dominance of pop music in the 1960s and
beyond. But more than merely a trophy case of commercial success (and
it won't be hard to find people to argue that these singles aren't
even the band's best work), 1 is also a quick sketch of a remarkable
seven-year musical evolution, one that stretches from the neo-skiffle
of "Love Me Do" through a remarkable synthesis of R&B, rockabilly, Tin
Pan Alley, gospel, country and classical that still defies efforts to
effectively deconstruct it. --Jerry McCulley...

Abbey Road (Brand:EMI)

The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop
phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the
ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious
effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all
four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's
hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make
the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together
in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official
close ("Golden Slumbers" / "Carry That Weight" / "The End") is nicely
undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her
Majesty", which follows. --Rickey Wright...
