Customer Review

It is quite simple: before the killers were rock, now they are pop. that's all. the songs among which are still the same. heaven-storming, plated, great melodies, which otherwise want as immediately and here and now No. 1 on the charts and into the stadium.

the group around the hyperactive, diva-like, brilliant brandon flowers can anyway resting only a few seconds. so it was reasonable to expect that they would fill their certified hits this time in different clothes - just like yourself so new style all Daum long. when the killers was always also about fashion, design, styling - insofar as they are a very European band, and therefore also in Europe more popular than at home.

Of course, this is a music, as it can grow only in Las Vegas: glittery, oversized, boastful, pimped, striking gockelig. That's what makes the quality of the killers - and comes from always good, because the songs are always good. or rather because on every album at least have a few very good songs.

This time it's the same the first three pieces, which could be successively decouple as singles: "Losing Touch", "human" and "Spaceman" are large, highly infectious disco-pop, the rescue for DJs to excruciating operation Christmas (you can the floor fill and hold still level). "Joy Ride" is still strong, although not as ko-drops like, it sounds as if to U2 and Roxy Music merge into a funk band who composed the soundtrack for London Fashion Week.

and so it goes on, always ready for a hit to sell the grandmother. the deceased grandmother is then the port number dedicated to "Goodnight Travel Well", and strangely enough it is possible not flowers to add sound real great emotions believable. He is better than in reality in the allegation. it's a big, technically perfect number, a hymn to heaven pleading, but he impressed more than he touches.

on "Hot Fuss" were the killers, Franz Ferdinand, later on it, but with the compelling songs. Eighties rock to dance. "Sam's Town" was then her spectacular (rejected by the audience) Overture to America and its music. now they cite as the rampaging through the pop styles of the eighties, because you can play cheerful styles advise: disco, synth, New Romantics, white bread-funk, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, whatever.

what to contradict some critics, most certainly not: a kind of English-language version of German schlagerpop. that music is created by narrowing the killers construct their songs against open by merciless. Their music is not tight, narrow, small as schlager. it is, if one wants to be accused of something you already, too big.
