Not at all ... I just think they went too much towards modern U2 and Queen for my liking ... I think it's a pompous and pretentious album.

pretentious is ok. It's good to have pretensious artists. I say we need MORE of them. Being pretentious and falling flat on your face is another thing though. Muse are pretenscious and they get away with it (i don't like them much mind you but I would be an idiot if i said they aren't any good) Joanna Newsom is pretentious too in my book. 17 minute harp driven songs....stand up anyone who dares say that it does not sound pretentious in any book. yet she acquits herself splendidly. Phil spector was pretentious - and look what he went on to produce. Even Radiohead and Nick Cave are pretentious and they produced some splendid albums. Pretentious does not necessarily equate mediocrity. I think music needs to become a bit more ambitious and pompous at this moment in time. Minimalism has been done to death. i am not saying its not charming or that minimalism isn't a good listen anymore but frankly most of the time you spin a cd and you know EXACTLY what you are going to get. I am all for pompous pretentious people. It takes guts to have those qualities. Still, I would not say the Killers would fall in that category. In my book they are just overproduced drivel.
and kros...i would rather have Lili Allen doing the sucking instead of the killers :-)

Fair enough but being pretentious and then failing miserably to deliver the goods is even worse. Personally I much prefer letting the music do the talking.
