I was VERY wary of the new Killers album for two reasons: 1) Brandon Flowers seems like a pretentious jerk sometimes and 2) MY GAWD the last CD was overplayed.
But I listened to it at work and it is REALLY good. REALLY good. So I bought it and I'm very impressed. It is much richer and more delicate than their last CD. There is a lot of variety and texture there. It seems to me like they have quit trying to sound different and just tried to be themselves with this disc.
PLUS...GUESS WHO SINGS BACKUP ON TWO SONGS?
That's right...our boys from Louis XIV. You can actually hear Brian and Jason talking at the end of "Sam's Town."
p.s Brian sent me an email. The new album is pretty much finished. YAY!

Hey, so, uh, not to be snobby about it or anything, but do you think that the fact that our boys in LXIV are such great musicians inspired the Killers to focus on the skill and not the trend?
Just curious.

P.S. I *still* want to know what the Mormons think about the prostitute song....
