    Much better than anything on that piece of crap they called Sams Town. Joy Division version is still better though.

    i know it's a cover and yes, this song is beyond awesome.

    i can't get enough of it.

    this appears to be one of those songs a band separate from the one that wrote it was meant to play.
    crown of thorns, anyone?

    brilliant might have been overdoing it a little bit. but it is a fantastic album. all of the tracks are great, imo. you are entitled to your own of course. i love the album and i love the band.

    I thought the album was so bad that I pretty much gave up on the band after it

    really? what don't you like about it? i thought it was a lot more consistant than hot fuss. every track is very good or better, imo even though hot fuss has 3 of their best songs: change your mind, all these things ive done, and on top.

    Hate the sound, the vocals dont work for it, the songs that were good grew stale real quick, and I find it shocking that the singer said something along lines that it is one of the best albums in the last 20 years.

    yah, brandon flowers was out of line when he made that statement. i wouldn't go that far. idk, i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. i love the group, and they are really incredible live to boot.
