Ok, so a few years ago when the Killers first arrived on scene with that "somebody told me" song i though, what kind of horrible crap is this.
then their other singles followed and I'll admit, i thought they were a lot better - Mr Brightside, Smile Like You Mean It, Jenny was a Friend... and I took a little liking to them
then Sam's Town came out and I thought, these guys are pretty good, I must have misjudged them.
But then, the other day, I hear their new single... that "Are we human, or are we dancer" crap.
Now I think i was right all along. maybe if i would have listened to their albums I could have seen through the cracks and realized that they sucked all along...

The Killers are one of those bands that I've had no interest in buying an album or putting their songs on my mp3 player, but I don't change the radio when they come on.
That about sums it up for me. |
