The Killers - Sam's Town

[Xander]

What do you think of the new album?

I reckon it's gonna be a grower, listened to it a few times, and the second half kinda stuck out to me more than the first half, but nothing quite anthemic yet. Although When you were young is stuck in my head, so maybe the others will get like that. Sometimes the best albums are ones that take a few listens (e.g. arcade fire)

I'm not sure they'll make a song better than Mr Brightside...or Somebody Told Me...argh I love their first album so much! But I'll see how this goes... loveee these CD boxes with round corners omg, ROUND. So cute.

I kinda like The Killer's music. I heard When You Were Young on the radio and thought it was catchy. But I won't buy their latest album on the account that Brandon Flowers broke my friend's heart. So poop to him.

I'll probably pick it up sometime this weekend. When You Were Young was pretty damn catchy, and I found myself listening to Hot Fuss rather frequently when that came out.

I love the killers. Hot Fuss was an incredible album. Its one of my favorites and i plan on buying sam's town soon. I love When You Were Young, it is a catchy song

Its growing. Some songs on there are instant grabbers (When You Were Young & Sam's Town) and some take a couple of listens. However, I do think its a better "album" than Hot Fuss.
There are less "great" singles, but its more balanced than their last effort.

Plus, the round corner CD cases are very cool. Scissor Sisters also did it, and I love them. I want all CD cases to be like that....

I liked it more than Hot Fuss. My List is my favorite song on the record. Overall I think it is a good album, but unfortunately it isn't extremely memorable to me because it is in the shadow of so many other great records coming out in the last few months of 2006.

I liked Sam's Town. I downloaded it last night and it's pretty good. I recommend it to whoever likes the Killers.

The first album has some good songs on it, I've only heard one song from the new album so far. Didn't really impress me though...
