listened to it a couple of times today, but still can't give it a fair rating...but surely nowhere near as good as Hot Fuss.
and yeah Human sucks,probably the worst song on the album.why did they make it a single anyway?
anw voting career killer doesn't mean someone doesn't think it's any good...

Not the killers finest hour, id say. Get it together boys!

They have a new CD?

There was virtually no advertising for it...

FaSho 11-22-2008 08:39 AM

Not for the album itself, but "Human" was pretty whored out.

I thought it was a new single from Sam's Town. I never listened to it because the few singles I had heard I did not care for.

They wil never do something as good as Hot Fuss, even Sawdust was barely above par. And that's sad because Hot Fuss was far from amazing.

Flowers' vocals continue to amaze me with every album. You may not agree with me at first but I think his voice is quite flexible. He did a great job working his vocals into the music seamlessly.

Was that a saxophone solo? Holy ****, was that several saxophone solos? Where are you hiding Bruce Springsteen?

If anything, it shows potential. Thank you Lou Reed for the strong influence!

Artwork: Awesome

Overall: 3.9 / 5

Best Tracks: Spaceman, Joy Ride (somewhat of a lame song but something about it keeps me listening), This is Your Life, I Can't Stay, Neon Tiger

Finally someone actually part reviewed the album, a thing that even the OP didn't bother doing.

I've only listened to it once, it didn't grab me but neither did any of their stuff except over time. The Killers are always hit and miss with me, I prefer Sam's Town over Hit Fuss (the singles on Hot Fuss started to bore me and the other tracks weren't any decent compliment).

Too early for me to decide on this one but I'll probably rate it below their first two.

No, just that Americans are the only ones we care about ;)
