The Killers- Somebody Told Me

[Bob Clayton]

This song has a pretty 80s feel it to it.

Did they redo it or is it an original song?

[David Wilson]

it's their own song. Very 80's feel, like if the Strokes had listened to more Duran Duran. The bass players lines do remind me a bit of John Taylors from time to time, and he has a great sound on that album.

[Against Will]

Its original, they're just very faithful copycats.

I like the line: "Somebody told me you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend I had in February of last year"

That's it.

Very catchy......

[The Mock Turtle Regulator]

I bought the album.
reminds me of the psychedelic furs circa Forever now.

"Glamorous indie rock n'roll" is another standout bassline.

the bassline on "jenny was a friend of mine" is very similar to the Strokes' "is this it" bassline.

[Bob Clayton]

so overall on the cd.. thumbs up or thumbs down?

[The Mock Turtle Regulator]

thumbs up, i'd say.

initially i was a bit disappointed that the other tracks weren't as Psychedelic furs-like as "somebody told me" and "mr brightside", but they've grown on me.

"smile like you mean it" is another standout track.

Decent band as far as todays music goes. I dont like many bands that are played on mtv2 but this band is alright.
