Direct hits unfortunately belongs to the second category, which is a shame for fans of the band. In addition to all the hits and known numbers from the last four albums but there are currently only two new tracks as small consumer appeal for the fan. Both songs, JUST ANOTHER GIRL using Stuart Price and SHOT AT THE NIGHT with Anthony Gonzalez of M83 are well done, typical Killers songs with voluptuous beautiful melody. But that was then also unfortunately.
Please do not misunderstand, for me are the Killers one of the best bands that have spawned 00s. They have evolved from a small indie surprise with lots of New Order in the luggage on the last albums into a real pop phenomenon that above all is distinguished to have no contact anxieties about kitsch, glamor and pathos. The Killers who does not know, for the Direct Hits is the perfect introduction and deserves 5 stars. However, if the killer pursued for some time, found out the two songs above anything really new. And there are, fortunately, to invite the two songs individually the opportunity.
For this 5 star, for the product here. 1
