New Killers Out today, anybody had a listen?

checking spotify.

after 1 play through I would say not great, not terrible.

not as good as Hot Fuss and Sam't Town but better than Day & Age and Sawdust

Plan on listening to it this evening after work.
Been looking forward to it.

They'll be doing a live concert on youtube this evening, 6:00cst

The Killers Live

i didn't get a chance to listen yesterday, hopefully i can listen to it today.

Sams Town was incredible. Uncle Johnny is an awesome fricking song...in their top 5 for sure. Unique to their sound and unique in general.

Hot Fuss was terrific - a new sound. Everything else has been underwhelming.

this is true to an extent. Hot Fuss is probably one of my 5 favorite albums of the 2000s. i pretty much expected that everything else they put out wouldn't be as good, and so far they've pretty much met that expectation. which isn't to say that their newer stuff is bad. it's just never going to be hot fuss good. sam's town was a pretty good CD in it's own right, sawdust was b-sides so of course it was lacking, and day and age was meh.

i haven't heard the new one yet. i'm glad it's getting a few positive reviews on here. i'll have to check it out.

i listened to it in full yesterday and if you like the killers you'll like this album, they stick to their formula and if you like that then it great. i sometimes feel like i've heard the song before on a previous album but i like it. great for zoning out while running.

eta: sam's town is my favorite album they have out

I actually think Sawdust is a great album. But I for some reason always think bands' B-sides are sometimes better than regular albums.
