Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill is an arena-rock idealist, a firm believer in the undying power of setting up shop at the 50-yard line of rock & roll expectations and doing very brisk business. “Like in a mainstream melody / Oh, I want to take you in!” he told us on the Kings’ last album,2016’s
Walls, a subtle come-on that was a pretty fair assessment of why his band’s music hit home with millions.
So, what do these Tennessee titans do in times like these, when there aren’t any arenas to be rocked? In some ways, the band’s eighth album is an arena rock of the mind, tempering the strapping anthemics of hits like “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody”for songs that stretch out en route to arriving at a serene kind of swagger.

A fire in a trash chute Friday morning did an estimated $50,000 in damage at Maple Street Lofts, under construction in downtown Mount Prospect, the fire department said in a news release.
The fire at 215 E. Prospect Ave. was reported about 10 a.m. A large trash bin was burning and the fire had spread up an exterior trash chute, officials said. The fire was brought under control in approximately 10 minutes. It was contained to the exterior of the building. The cause is under investigation but appears to be accidental.
Workers at the six-story apartment building discovered the fire and quickly reported it. They also helped called 911. This could have been much worse if it wasn t for the quick actions of calling 911, said Deputy Fire Chief John Dolan.
