I sort of feel like they are hit and miss nowadays. Some stuff gets me and other stuff just doesn't get through.

Favorite Killers song would have to be Smile Like You Mean It. Also a fan of Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, Spaceman, On Top, and All These Things That I've Done. Pretty much every song on the first album is memorable. ^^ I could never get into the Sam's Town album that much though. Maybe I'll have to try it again sometime.

I never liked Sam's Town after hearing Hot Fuss, but giving it a proper listen really changed my mind, I think it's better now. A lot better.

Out of all the Killers' albums, I actually don't listen to the first one very much any more. It's a fantastic record but Sam's Town and Day and Age are more "timeless" to my ears.

The new album is pretty good but lacks the hooks of something like Day and Age. I would put it as a "grower" because it takes a few listens to really get (at least it did for me).

Either way, these guys don't have a bad album in them (yet).

Not a fan of the Killers being branded as pop...

Hot Fuss is probobly one of my top 5 albums ever!

And I agree about Battleborn having to grow on you.

I particularly like "From here on out" and the title track.

Brits sort yourselves out. Why is this possible?

A tune. Best track to play act the words in a club.

Idk how I feel about their new album yet. It need to replay it. Only gave it one spin so far.

So I'm loving Imploding the mirage so much that I went back through their discography to try and see if maybe I was missing something in the last decade or so. Turns out I wasn't. Didn't save a single track from the last 2 albums preceding this one.

Dunno what happened here, they went back to or quit drugs or what, because ITM seems to be on par with Hot fuss. Like some kind of weird best of collection, chock full of potential singles.

They're finally back to being fun. Huraay! :)
