The Killers - Day And Age

muppet

Holy shit, what a disspointment. I absoutely loved Hot Fuss, and I think I was one of the few who loved Sam's Town as well. But there's none of the catchy stuff from the first album or big epic rock from the second. It just goes nowhere and it sounds boring.

petrocs

is it out?

Yeah. They made so secret they were trying to remake Born To Run. When You Were Young basically has the same chords.

I like Hot Fuss and love Sam's Town. In fact I think it blows hot fuss out of the water.

And im looking forward to getting Day And Age when it comes out Nov. 24th...?...

Actually their best album was the B-side & cover collection 'Saw Dust.' And 'Sam's Town' sounds absolutely nothing like 'Born To Run.' It's a shame this band turned into such a "nitch band" when they started out with a lot of talent & promise - Just another band full of their own bullshit.

Yeah it doesn't sound like Born To Run (although in places it does, I think), but they made kept saying it was their 'Born To Run' record. So I assume that meant they wanted to match it in ambition and scope.

I guess, but that's what I mean by them believing their own bullshit.

Lol definately, I always thought Brandon Flowers was a bit of an arse. Sams Town certinally wasn't "the best album in 20 years" but I still love that album.

'Human' is the catchiest and most euphoric unashamedly 80's sounding rock song I've heard in ages.....


Fuck the fact they're unpopular.....I gave up caring about what people think of my music taste a long time ago.....

The Killers make great pop rock.....

Unpopular? They're everything but that.

i haven't heard anything from the album yet besides the single and if the rest of it sounds anything like "human" then i will be definitely skipping out on it. that song is such awful garbage i can't believe it's from the same band. i really liked the first two records a lot but "human" is a snore-fest. and what the hell does "are we human, or are we dancer?" mean anyway? garbage.

Unpopular with music snobs.....


It happens to every band that makes it big.....

It's cool to knock bands like the Killers.....



To me the Killers are a strong pop rock band with their own distinctive sound.....

Well, I do consider myself a music snob, but that's my own problem I'm trying to deal with. My problem is when you start spouting off comparisons of yourself to Bruce. I'm not saying I like 'Saw Dust' the most because I'm some snob that HAS to like something different, but because songs like "Shadowplay" are perfect for them. And that's what they're more like - they're more of a Joy Division than they are a Bruce & E Street.

I love 80's music but this just sounds like Abercrombie and Fitch store music. The chorus has some of the dumbest lyrics I have ever heard as well.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's a work of genius or anything, and to be honest I can't believe I'm spending so much time on here defending a band I merely 'like' rather than 'love', I just think they get an unfair rap off people.....
