I wrote them off completely after the last one, it’s was the worst of 3 or 4 in a row that I thought was pretty damn terrible, Sams Town is the last one I had any time for. To be honest it’d take something pretty monumental for me to even consider a new Killers album worth streaming never mind buying.
Not quite as irritating as every album by a big band being “the best since x” and then it inevitably being shit, I’d rather give the time to something or someone new.
The Killers release mostly bad albums but I am always rooting for them and I’m glad that they finally released a solid one. I usually like 2 to 4 songs on each album but this one I like almost all of it. I would venture to say that if you don’t like this new album then you just don’t like the Killers.
