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 agree.

I personally think the album 'Sam's Town' sounds NOTHING like Bruce Springsteen....

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.

He definitely seems to buy into all the hype about him (which I personally have never understood in the first place). One of the worst things that could happen to a musician. Once you buy into your own hype, you're bound to release some really arrogant sounding music.

On a side note, I can't stand it when band say stuff like "This album is our Born To Run". Now I'm no Springsteen fan, but where do you get off making comparisons like that?

Oh and by the way, my band's new album is kinda like Abbey Road, only better.

i really like The Killers and i am really looking forward to this new record. granted the new single DOES sound like a remix but i like it nonetheless.

When You Were Young does sorta sound like BTR and Sam's Town as a whole does sound like the band were listening to some Boss while they were writing it but that's all. i think Sam's Town had some sequencing problems and some of the songs on Sawdust shoulda been on there... plus that unreleased song "Where Is She?". that's a gem right there!

like i said, looking forward to the new record.

Killers...a great band according to a generation of "music lovers" who know nothing about great bands. They have and will always be a terrible band. Glad many people are starting to realize that.

Heres to hoping the NME dont like it, fair chance I might do if that happens

Yeah, I tend to like everything NME don't......


and vice versa, if NME rave about it, with a few occasional exceptions, it tends to be a steaming pile of turd.....

Holy Shit!

This album is great.....one of a handful of bands that make relevant music today.

Hot Fuss reminds me of hitting puberty
Sam's Town was like getting some hair on your balls
Day and Age is like growing a beard

Read the lyrics to DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE and GOODNIGHT, TRAVEL WELL and then realize it's about Brandon's mother struggling with brain cancer.

This band has grown up before our eyes.

'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.....

I love this song and agree with you totally. Who cares what others think. It is an opinion and I am thinking of buying this CD because of this song.

Does he say Dancer?

Once again the Sports Guy amuses...."I don't want to say The Killers are going in the wrong direction, but their third album made their second album sound like a cross between "Born in the USA" and "Nevermind" ... and I'm currently using the second album's CD as a coaster for ginger ale."
