i too am impressed by their sound...yes it takes on many different genres but this is what musics all about.

i have a question..call me crazy and probably am but does anyone know if New Order used The Killers in one of their videos for their last album? do i make any sense...

>>By giambotta



i am not really into their music,but i've recently found some stuff and i was really imressed.

>>By Eli_Molko



the killers are great, they're really creative no matter what song it is. i like the lead singer's voice, does anyone else think he's cute?

>>By LightBoundDark



i also enjoy looking at this fine youth...

>>By giambotta



yeh the killers are kool my favourite song of theirs is mr brightside

>>By underneath



mieh, i didnt like them. i saw them live when i went to see morrissey....not impressed...thats just me....

>>By Singme2smiths



since the album came out i have been in love with them on and off. the last week our love affair has been on. a little killers mixed in with some walkmen and a bit of the thermals is the perfect start to a "the" band playlist that makes you feel like roaming the city alone thinking your own lost love thoughts.

>>By simplyeuphoric



No, No, No, No! The hype won't work on me this time. Too much (hot) fuss for nothing really. He's got a good voice and he sings nice melodies but listen to the music behind it. Just trite.Uneventful.We don't need this band. We've heard it all before

>>By thom



I absolutely love The Killers.

Thom, please, name some bands that are just like them. Please back what you said up with some info for us.

>>By xfadetobrightx



Any run of the mill "indie" pop band sounds like that at the moment.They all sound the same to me and I couldn't drop names because this is not the kind of music I listen to.I just took an interest in the Killers because they seemed to be all over the press. So I listened to their singles and was completely disappointed.What do you need my arguments for anyway? Don't you have ears?Unless of course you're really young and therefore this is fresh to your ears.
P.S. I won't list the Morrissey echoes as a bad thing necessarily

>>By thom



I've got 'Hot Fuss', and personally, I don't think it's as good as it's hyped up to be. But maybe I'm just biased because I haven't listened to them as much as I devote my listening time to other albums of mine...

>>By Bitch Fit



the killers are pretty good...hmm i love that song "all these things that i've done"

>>By RaNcId_StAr



god, i hate them. but what i meant to say that song mr brightside reminds me of placebo a bit... i mean, i like placebo, but i still think killers are a joke

>>By iva212



I love their CD, Hot Fuss. My favorite songs are Mr. Brightside, Smile like you mean it, Everything will be alright, and there's another song I like but for some reason can't remember the title of it... it's track 8 if any of you seem to care, lol.

>>By Valienc



Smile like you mean it is good, yeah! Mr.Brightside's video is great, and the song's very good as well! But my all time favourite is Somebody told me! God - is this song amazing or what!!! For me it's the best on the album. I even dreamed it! I know, it sounds funny, i've never dreamed a song before!!! I mean....dream music..!?

>>By Eli_Molko



Hi Eli_Molko, how are you, I saw the killers smashing their equipment in a magazine and thought it was pretty clisheish(don't mind the spelling) and unoriginal, but that one song on the radio sounds good. I try not to listen to too much crazy music anymore(i'm talkin like an old man) because it rots the brain, I find I listen to jazz or classical or folk and the brain is more "rested". Well, as you can see, I'm in an insomniac-like state and need sleep.
Keep in touch Eli_Molko,
Zizo

there a good band ....... well for now they are ! who knows they may suck later on

>>By An Evil Girl



Everybody's waiting for the next big thing, well, HERE IT AIN"T! Please, The Killers are the perfect example of why the industry is broke( along with Kings of Leon, Jet, Good Charlotte,Mars Volta, The Strokes, and all the rest). In short, no-talent-indie-re-hash-bullshit. No vocals, no talent, no message, no look, just a lot of industry hype that children of the day believe, more than they believe in themselves.

>>By south Louisiana Red



Hah, I love those "No-talent-indie-re-hash-bullshit" bands. I actually do think they have "vocals, talent, a message, and a look". Hence the "indie" part. Yeah there are bands that sound alike these days but bands like Jet, Mars Volta, The Strokes, and of course The Killers are making it. They have some good songs, you can't deny that, if you could they wouldn't be listened to by people, right? I say they're a pretty awesome band, but that's just one girls opinion. =D

>>By Wednesday



They also have a great sound as people said before ... they tap into almost every genre which is why people label them like "south Louisiana Red" did, that's also why they're "indie". But I love them no matter what ... and yes, Brandon Flowers isn't that bad to look at ... stare at rather. =D

>>By Wednesday



I love The Killers..Brandon Flowers is freakin S-E-X-Y!!!..They really do have great sound, and i love how they're so original!

>>By pErFeCtLyBrOkN14



i listen to "everything will alright" when i need to calm down. its just like a soothing song. i just love the killers. quite original. love it!

>>By nickie lu



Fantastic Band played glasgow in Mar or Apr can't remember, but yeah they blew the house down, ohh sexy boy that Brandon ..... I got soul but am not a soldier, a funny wee joke in our Local Glasgow Rag made me laugh though, sayin I got Mince but am Not a Mincer ha ha sorry probably only a Scot will get that.

respect to all who appreciate this band they are genius!!!!!

All these things that I have done - BEST TRACK

>>By Mamma G



wow so i went and saw them in concert..... one word- absolutely amazing. (oops i guess thats two words!) but my, brandon flowers is QUITE the looker, isnt he? and their songs! i will admit, i am a bit infatuated!

>>By ixel



I love the video for "Bones." Two skeletons (one of them being Miho, from "Sin City") running towards each other in slow motion on the beach only to collapse as they slam into each other; good times.

>>By The Walrus



My Alltime favourite band!!! I love their sound, indie rock ROCKS!!! and also Brandon Flowers has an amazing voice... Addictive!
My favourite song is Bling "Confessions of A King" but i also love most if not all their songs...

>>By Hey There Tracy
