What do people here think of the killers? I was a bit so/so on the first album, there were a few good tracks like "All these things that I've done" but there was a lot of trash, that "Somebody told me" song where he demonstrates how bad his vocals can be.

But I heard some of the new album "Sam's Town" and really like it .. it's nothing ground breaking but it's much more consistant than that first. It's like mixing Sparks, Jeff Buckley, Queen and I dunno ... the Killers, all together. Some songs are very Sparks like, and whilst obviously comparing Brandon Flower's voice to JB is like comparing a bicycle to the space program, there is just something about it, he's definetly improved .. catchy tunes on the album like "Uncle Johnny" which has a simple yet addictive guitar riff through it and the title track "Sam's Town" .. either way, what do you guys think of them?

Yes, but that was purely for illustrative purposes and well you know it, bucko. That whole bicycle and space program didn't excuse you.

And +Ed+ - stop laughing you imbecile or I'll come over there and stick Ron and Russel Mael up your rectum.
