The Killers are a band trying to get in on the new wave of dance-punk bands. There are obvious Cure and Cars influences, and also newer influences such as Franz Ferdinand. I am a fan of Franz Ferdinand because they did something new, there wasn't anything like them being played mainstream last spring, until the killers came along with their keyboard and bad vocals. This album starts out with a kick,not a big kick but a kick you might expect from a 3-legged dog with a brain tumor, keyboards, guitars, dance-drumbeats, and mundane vocals that are semi-shouted. As the album progresses nothing changes, no songs stand out, none of it stays with you. It's extremely forgettable and frankly, it disgusts me. Please don't spend your money on this slbum if you claim to be a fan of good music. Please.
