After the muted response to Sam's Town, this is a thrilling return to form, with a bigger, more rounded sound than ever before. 'Losing Touch' and 'Neon Tiger', for example, are heavyweight anthems in the mould of 'When You Were Young', instant winners custom designed for the stadium. Bagpipes and an oompah band on the next album? Don't count it out.
