So what do you think????


First song off their new album...

Abit commercial on it, but I like it anyhow...
 
The Killers have another new album? Workaholics or Money Grabbers?

Quite like it, but still no where near as good as anything off Hot fuss.
 
I'm still not sure what to make of Sam's Town. I like it somedays and hate it others.

Liked Hot Fuss though and there were some decent songs on Sawdust.

Is this just the first song on the album or their new single?
 
One of the best bands live going, IOW festival last year was awesome, they blew Coldplay out of the park.

Yes they are tad commercial but hey every album so far has had some serious anthems.
 
how can you guys like this utter toss?

I'm paraphrasing bjork here, with good music its like filet mignon, sure its alot more quality, but if bad music is a banana, it seems pretty stupid to not eat bananas just because they arent as nice as the filet mignon.

So that much i understand, the qualia is again different, but its still wank.

You sound like Cantona, cool.
 
Great song. Great band.

Flowers is a good performer.
 
Is that a dance remix?

*edit. Apparently it's not. Jesus that's cack.
 
That song is fecking shite baz. The Killers are very hit and miss for me and that right there is a big miss.
 
Killers came out, released Hot Fuzz, thought it was great, a happy album, enjoyed them, despite them being fecking awful live.

Since then, I hated their last album, thought the "doessnt look a think like jeeeeesussssss" was one of the worst things I have ever heard, and this new song is fecking awful too. Sound like his voice is breaking and they have been told to go and make noise for 10 songs.
 
I loved hot fuss, some of the songs on the second album were listenable, but that new one is utter tripe.
 
Anyone heard the new album?

Have to say, it's bloody good. Well impressed with it so far.
 
I see the Worlds music snobs are out in force!

Money grabbers? This is their 4th album in 5 years, hardly pumping them out like the Beatles!

One of my favourite bands of recent times. Not heard their new album yet, but I'll be getting it, and I like the new single
 
Hot Fuss had one great tune - All These Things That I Have Done. Only Tranquilize measures up to that. The rest is ok to average. Maybe Somebody Told Me stands out above that.

Not sure what I think of Human.

They're fecking fantastic live though.
 
That's one of the worst things to go into my ears. Shame, as I like the band.
 
Not so sure about that one, I'm on the fence.

This River Is Wild was an amazing song though.
 
I liked it, but it's not just what I expect from a band like The Killers, and I feel they rushed a bit.
 
Tried to listen to the album yesterday. If I was to give it a flag, it would be the flag of Iran, once a really strong and powerful group; now just a lot of hot air and hullabaloo over not very much.

Agreed, I have listened through it twice now and its utter tripe, not one single track stands out. Hot Fuss was decent, Sam's Town had 1 good track and this is just a fecking insult.
 
I initially thought it was total shit, but having listened to it a couple of times, I realised it's not meant to be as serious as Sam's Town, and even more playful than Hot Fuss. It's not that bad - averagely listenable, which basically describes much of the Killers' output.

I liked Spaceman and the Human B-side, A Crippling Blow. In fact, A Crippling Blow might join my list of good Killers songs, which currently stands at 3.
 
ugh this song is on radio two now.

its so annoying.

Mr brightside is quite good and that jenny was a friend of mine is ok. but this is cnut
 
Like many bands, their first album was very good and then its just a steady stream of average stuff after that.
 
Hot Fuss had shedloads of filler, I don't understand why people think it's that good. It basically had 1 great song and 1 good song. Sam's Town was more interesting than Hot Fuss, but was pretty average. Nothing on that album was good. Tranquilize was the next good song that they released. I might count A Crippling Blow as good.
