I think that you guys should check this album out. A new band from Las Vegas with a bright future ahead. Influences probably include Pulp, Smiths and Oasis. Brilliant song writing and fanatastic synths troughout. Mr.Brightside is my fav track. Anyway, check this out if you get a chance.

Been listening to The Killers for the past two days. Very promising indeed. Some astounding moments but also some cringe worthy ones. They've got an 80's early 90's guitar sound. Really worth checking out.

I heard the Killers album 3 times and thought it sucked a lot. Jean, as you say the cringeworthy moments far outweigh the good points.
Next please!

Even though Rob won't admit it, he would love to start a Duran Duran appreciation thread. After all, he did play Rio last Wednesday
*runs for cover*

I really wanted to like The Killers & three tracks into Hot Fuss I was thinking these guys were the best thing to come out of the indie-rock circuit for a long time. Those 3 tracks yes are brilliant however bar another 1 or maybe 2 tracks they are very very ordinary. Thing is when they're bad they are very bad. There's this one track 'Glamorous Indie RocknRoll' which is like an alternative ' I love RocknRoll' which is hilariously pathetic. If they were being humerous than I really missed the joke. I still think they have potential , maybe the album was rushed or something .

yeah from the singles I guessed that there is a future for them. as a general rule (it NOT dogma) a so so debut leads to a much better second album (mainly because of experience and money)

Great logic. I hope you've studied much to get that one straight......and come up with it.... Prosit.. Prosit tassew.

Come on duff - dont be like that! I already said that 1) it's not dogma or anything like that and 2) I used the word so so, not bad- there is a difference. - you want examples I'll give you examples:
Radiohead Pablo Honey- The Bends Blur Leisure- Modern Life is Rubbish New Order- Movement- Power Corruption and lies
Love-Love (ok its a great debut BUT Da Capo is much better in the sense that they went a step higher, musically.)
Led Zepplin - LZ I - LZ II
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted (NOT the remastered version) - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
and the list goes on and on and on
