The Killers New Album

[ham_ahoy]

What do you think? Any favourite songs?

 

I think that read my mind and and the river is wild are two standout tracks for me.

I listened to it once when I bought it on the day it came out, and I havne't listened to it since. Nothing really stood out as substantial to me. I thought it would be better.

my friends drove me home from sudbury once (4 hour drive) and during that time, they played me "sam's town" as well as two dane cook live albums. needless to say, i almost didn't make it.

 

as soundless space mentionned, nothing stands out on the killers album. it's all so glossy and pretty, but has very little substance to it. and that whole fucking "welcome to sam's town we hope you enjoy your stay" bullshit is so ridiculous.... trying to pass their garbage off as though it has some sort of unifying concept throughout... right. i've heard people say that bands like tool or the mars volta are pretentious, but when compared to this, it's a complete misnomer.

[sodamntired]

an outstanding album, in my opinion.

[Audio of Being]

I heard a number of the tracks from a friend, while he claimed it was the best cd he bought in a long time, I found it boring and flat. Its a little to glam for my likes.

[saturnine]

it's pretty boring, but instead of hitting a wall like the first album does after 6 songs, this hits a wall after 2. well done.

i like a few songs on it but it definitely doesn't live up to the hype.....my faves are sam's town, for reasons unknown, bones, and.......hmmm, well i like those 3 anyway

[juanpe]

i found it hard to like it the first time I heard it, but I must admit that after some listenings, I really like the album, not all the songs, but I have my favorite ones: "for reasons unknown", "bling" and "uncle jonny" are my favorite ones (in that order)

[Jarrod]

I tried listening to it. I just can't make it. I think it is really boring.

[Shiri]

It's a fun album but their first album was more fun.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

It's alright. It's pretty average compared to the first album, I don't like any track as much as my favs on Hot Fuss, although I like all of the tracks more than my least favs from Hot Fuss.

 

It took them long enough to release a second album, I was expecting so much better. It doesn't deserve nearly as much hype as it's getting. I enjoy the album, but it's definitely over-rated.

The Killers are horrid.

[borntohula]

i'm glad more people are starting to realize their asstacular qualities. had this topic been posted last year, it would've been a different story.

[juanpe]

The Killers are horrid.

I really do like them... songs like this one are pretty good

 

The Killers - For Reasons Unknown

 

I pack my case, I check my face

I look a little bit older

I look a little bit colder

With one deep breath, and one big step

I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit closer

For reasons unknown..

 

I caught my stride, I flew and flied

I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind

Well my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to

And my eyes, they don't see you no more

And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to

And my eyes don't recognize you no more

 

For reasons unknown

For reasons unknown

 

It was an open chair

We sat down in, the open chair

I said if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind

But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to

And my eyes, they don't see you no more

And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to

And my eyes don't recognize you at all

 

For reasons unknown

For reasons unknown

 

I said my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to

And my eyes, don't recognize you no more

And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to

And my eyes don't recognize you no more

 

For reasons unknown

For reasons unknown

For reasons unknown

For reasons unknown

For Reasons Unknown is probably the best song on the album. the rest are either merely okay or quite forgettable. Sam's Town is not much of a sophomore effort, and it just goes to show that letting your ego run rampant on a CD usually doesn't pay off.

[thewickernightmare]

WOW, I'm loving the For Reason's Unknown love in this thread....its my favourite but I didn't think anybody else thought that but it really is a great song.

[cweb]

alas, it's too bad the label's decided to cram garbage like Bones or Read My Mind down our throats. (with shit videos too, i might add-- enough with the scruffy cowboy crap; it was cool with Depeche Mode in 1990, it's not cool anymore!)

To quote one of my instructors:

 

"Aaahh, The Killers: so boring!"
