[maniac on the floor]

anyone else listening? it's awesome!

[zpt4x]

I would, but on my last polling, it turned out I was human and not a dancer. Sigh..............maybe next time.

[Captain Dills]

Seeing them next week in a small venue in LA. I'll wait to pick up the physical copy. Definitely one of my favorite bands.

[MadMan]

I'll probably just wait to pick it up, but I like The Killers quite a bit. Even though they've only made one great album (Sam's Town), I like their music and I own all of their albums save for Sawdust, which was really just a B-sides and random other singles disc anyways so it really doesn't count.

[Duder]

I loved Hot Fuss. One of my top 10 favorite albums of the aughts. Too bad they turned into Springsteen wannabes on their follow up and never looked back.

Close your eyes and clear your heart.

[Jaws]

Listened to it a few times since yesterday. I downloaded it because I ordered that $80 bundle off their website, and it won't arrive at my house until the 25th and I really can't wait that long. Anyway, it's possibly their strongest record. Keep in mind, Sam's Town is my favorite to this point.

Okay now I'm excited. I liked Runaways a lot and heard live versions of Flesh and Bone that sounded very Sam's Town-like. My expectations are really high for this record, I'm hoping it can just add a few good songs to their live catalogue. But I really do hope it's good.

[A Dustland Fairytale]

I love the new album. Not as good as Sam's Town (my fav) but it could grow on me....like all of their albums do. I also downloaded it (pre-ordered off iTunes) but I can't wait that long.

[Jack Package]

All their albums seem to be very different from each other, which can be a good thing. I wonder what this album holds.

I hate that song. The waggle dance of honeybees? The mating dances of birds? Bit of a false dilemma there, isn't it?

[Snot Boogie]

Snooze.

[inn0centbystander]

i enjoy the killers when they're just rocking out, but Brandon Flowers definitely thinks he is a way better songwriter than he is

A mix of their first two, but more like Sam's Town.

[Eraser]

I hope it's as good as the first 3 albums. The first single didn't do a lot for me, but hopefully there will be some gems on it.

[Freddie Quell]

I just got the leak yesterday. F-ck iTunes. I'll just star the album when it comes out on Spotify.

I hope it's more like the 1st two. Day/Age was hit or miss for me.

[Jaws]

Also, I recommend the Deluxe Edition. The two B-Sides are great, and the Jacques Lu Cont remix of Flesh And Bone is pretty good.

This. There are about 5 songs on Hot Fuss that alone I enjoy more than the rest of their later stuff combined. I wish that they went back to their synth heavy, 80's glam rock sound of their debut album.

[See-Jay]

I'd like to listen to it but in the past couple of months my iTunes can't play more than a couple seconds of a song that's in their store. Still no fix for it, which is really frustrating.

[A Dustland Fairytale]

I've had a good listen to the album twice and so far I would place it above Sawdust but below Sam's Town, Hot Fuss, and Day & Age. My favorites so far are Flesh and Bone, Miss Atomic Bomb, From Here on Out, Runaways, and Heart of a Girl. The others just don't seem to do it to me.

One thing I love about their other albums is that there was a great build-up to their songs which seemed to capitulate into a well-timed verse that gave me goosebumps. There isn't much of that on this album...which is disappointing.

Yeah, their lyrics were never great but I only care about sound when I listen to music and they had a great one then.

Keep listening. It will hit you.

Here With Me totally sucks, though.

[B A P S]

I'm sort of a Killers apologist with compulsive distates for most of their fans. I generally like their music as far as safe, arena rock goes. I usually spin their albums a few times, get some mileage out of them and it's fine and good. They're not a bad band. They're not poisoning the airwaves or reducing anyone's expectations. But then I'll have some hyperbolic fan come along and try to act like they're saving rock and roll or that they're the best anything in modern rock music and I'm like - no, **** you, stop listening to the radio.

I have a similar dynamic with Coldplay.

Anyway, no I haven't listened to this. Maybe next week I'll get to it. Or tomorrow night if I stay in.

They play all of those songs with the exception of Heart of a Girl live now. Which is good.

[Eraser]

I just listened to the deluxe edition. It's my least favorite of their 4 albums. I thought it was just OK. Nothing that really popped out at me as being great like some of their other songs.

Last years comeback album from The Cars titled Move Like This was way better IMO.

[Captain Dills]

Flesh and Bone is up there with Jenny Was A Friend of mine in terms of great songs to open an album.

[High Score]

I like The Killers more New Romantic stuff. Runaways just is a great feeling song, really anthemic and a bit Springsteeny but still very KILLERS.

[Rexforever]

Like escargot, I see why people like it, but it's just not my thing.
