The Killers - Human

bazalini · 12th October 2008, 19:06

So what do you think????

First song off their new album...

Abit commercial on it, but I like it anyhow...

1871_Biscuit · 12th October 2008, 19:16

The Killers have another new album? Workaholics or Money Grabbers?

Quite like it, but still no where near as good as anything off Hot fuss.

kps88 · 12th October 2008, 19:20

I'm still not sure what to make of Sam's Town. I like it somedays and hate it others.

Liked Hot Fuss though and there were some decent songs on Sawdust.

Is this just the first song on the album or their new single?

1871_Biscuit · 12th October 2008, 19:22

...both.

esmufc07 · 12th October 2008, 19:23

Hot Fuss is good, rest of their stuff is pretty average.

Goes hand in hand with Baz in that respect

Sam#1 · 12th October 2008, 19:24

Fantastic band.

Love the new song.

Scholesgoals · 12th October 2008, 19:24

Ander8on · 12th October 2008, 19:26

Decent, not groundbreaking 6.5/10

Spammy · 12th October 2008, 21:01

Wank.

2Bullish · 12th October 2008, 21:07

One of the best bands live going, IOW festival last year was awesome, they blew Coldplay out of the park.

Yes they are tad commercial but hey every album so far has had some serious anthems.

Scholesgoals · 12th October 2008, 21:54

how can you guys like this utter toss?

I'm paraphrasing bjork here, with good music its like filet mignon, sure its alot more quality, but if bad music is a banana, it seems pretty stupid to not eat bananas just because they arent as nice as the filet mignon.

So that much i understand, the qualia is again different, but its still wank.

You sound like Cantona, cool.

Solius · 12th October 2008, 23:06

Great song. Great band.

Flowers is a good performer.

Fixed.

And agreed.

SecondFig · 13th October 2008, 07:38

I really liked Hot Fuss, quite liked Sam's Town.

This is absolute, complete, total and utter wank.

PJ · 13th October 2008, 09:30

Is that a dance remix?

*edit. Apparently it's not. Jesus that's cack.

Wonder Pigeon · 13th October 2008, 12:12

That song is fucking shite baz. The Killers are very hit and miss for me and that right there is a big miss.

muller · 13th October 2008, 12:16

Killers came out, released Hot Fuzz, thought it was great, a happy album, enjoyed them, despite them being fucking awful live.

Since then, I hated their last album, thought the "doessnt look a think like jeeeeesussssss" was one of the worst things I have ever heard, and this new song is fucking awful too. Sound like his voice is breaking and they have been told to go and make noise for 10 songs.

Slevin · 13th October 2008, 12:44

People like shit music these days.

Mannheim Red · 13th October 2008, 13:02

Shite like all the other Killers songs

PJ · 13th October 2008, 15:32

I loved hot fuss, some of the songs on the second album were listenable, but that new one is utter tripe.

brophs · 20th November 2008, 14:21

Anyone heard the new album?

Have to say, it's bloody good. Well impressed with it so far.

Brad · 20th November 2008, 14:27

I see the Worlds music snobs are out in force!

Money grabbers? This is their 4th album in 5 years, hardly pumping them out like the Beatles!

One of my favourite bands of recent times. Not heard their new album yet, but I'll be getting it, and I like the new single

spinoza · 20th November 2008, 14:46

Hot Fuss had one great tune - All These Things That I Have Done. Only Tranquilize measures up to that. The rest is ok to average. Maybe Somebody Told Me stands out above that.

Not sure what I think of Human.

They're fucking fantastic live though.

MikeUpNorth · 20th November 2008, 14:49

That's one of the worst things to go into my ears. Shame, as I like the band.

AdZzUtd · 20th November 2008, 15:05

Not so sure about that one, I'm on the fence.

This River Is Wild was an amazing song though.

MUFC07 · 20th November 2008, 17:20

I liked it, but it's not just what I expect from a band like The Killers, and I feel they rushed a bit.

Kristjan · 20th November 2008, 17:26

The Thin White Duke remix is not bad

it`s a bit shit really...

TheRedFlag · 23rd November 2008, 01:34

Tried to listen to the album yesterday. If I was to give it a flag, it would be the flag of Iran, once a really strong and powerful group; now just a lot of hot air and hullabaloo over not very much.

Agreed, I have listened through it twice now and its utter tripe, not one single track stands out. Hot Fuss was decent, Sam's Town had 1 good track and this is just a fucking insult.

spinoza · Yesterday, 11:33

I initially thought it was total shit, but having listened to it a couple of times, I realised it's not meant to be as serious as Sam's Town, and even more playful than Hot Fuss. It's not that bad - averagely listenable, which basically describes much of the Killers' output.

I liked Spaceman and the Human B-side, A Crippling Blow. In fact, A Crippling Blow might join my list of good Killers songs, which currently stands at 3.

Scholesgoals · Yesterday, 12:05

ugh this song is on radio two now.

its so annoying.

Mr brightside is quite good and that jenny was a friend of mine is ok. but this is cunt

roodboy · Yesterday, 12:06

Like many bands, their first album was very good and then its just a steady stream of average stuff after that.
