"Kings Of Leon have come a long, long way since their shaggy-haired beginnings. Now with proper haircuts, massive tours and a couple of UK #1 albums under their belts, they&amp;#039;re up there with rock royalty. &amp;#039;Radioactive&amp;#039; is the trailer for their upcoming fifth long player, Come Around Sundown, and the video has already attracted plenty of attention. The deputy ed at the NME claimed that it&amp;#039;s like &amp;quot;Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Earth Song&amp;#039;, a Center Parcs ad and a Comic Relief field report&amp;quot;. We can see what he means, but if you can&amp;#039;t be a bit daft/messianic in a pop promo, heck, when can you? And anyway, what about the song? Well, KoL have become a super-slick arena machine in recent years, and &amp;#039;Radioactive&amp;#039; sure ain&amp;#039;t rocking that boat. It sounds a bit like U2 back when U2 sounded a bit like Echo &amp;amp; The Bunnymen - all slidey bass and clean &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; twiddly guitar in the verses before the choruses swoop in like a hawk. Caleb chants a deep-sounding-but-empty-feeling refrain (&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s in the water / It&amp;#039;s in the story / Of where you came from&amp;quot;) before he&amp;#039;s naturally joined by a happy-clappy chorus. They then add an extra layer of gloss, though of course it&amp;#039;s not like one&amp;#039;s needed! A little throwaway on record, perhaps, this will sound suitably mega when they inevitably hit Wembley, Hampden, Cardiff and the rest next summer.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
