Not gonna lie, I could use some new Killers in my life. Hot Fuss and Sam's Town are still great albums. I really enjoyed most of Battle Born as well.

Portamento is my favorite but I did enjoy Encyclopedia. Dont understand the hate for that one. The new stuff sounds more like Portamento. The album has already leaked on Soulseek.

The Drums album is great. Back to the vibe of Portamento. Not as dark as Encyclopedia.

The Killers single turned out to be awful. It's straight up disco with horrible lyrics. They sound like the Bee Gees now. And Flowers just flat out can't sing anymore. He can't hit those lower notes he used to be able to hit. His voice is too nasal and high and shrill. Terrible song and leaves me with no hope for the album.

The Killers are one of my guilty pleasures. I love Human. And change your mind off the first album.

Yeah, that's from Battle Born. It's mostly corny, but earnest. I really enjoy the vibe of that album from time to time.

Goddamn, I was watching a baseball game yesterday and they played a part of the new song by the Killers, and it's like straight up dance, electronica.... It sounded like crap too.

I was never much of a fan to begin with, but man, they sure sound desperate to stay relevant... The announcer afterwards likened it to the Beegees lol

I just can't for the life of me get into Day & Age. I've tried and tried, but aside from a few songs, it just does nothing for me.

Because it's corny. It sounds like the corniest stuff from the 80s. Joy Ride is the worst thing they've ever done besides this new one. They both sound like disco.

Battle Born is pretty corny too. Sounds too much like REO Speedwagon

New single is fine. Not groundbreaking or anything, but worth a listen. Curious to hear the rest of the album.

Feeling guilty for listening to something you enjoy is bullshit. Embrace the cheesier parts of your persona, I say.

Yeah I was just kidding (kinda). I still listen to the Heritage Singers when I drink Children's Flavored Cough Syrup.

Also that one line:

Always felt like he was talking directly to me LOL
