Shazam's Review

In the first single from their second album, The Killers went from England’s favourite clean shaven US alternative act after their success with ‘Hot Fuss’; to moustached, hairy Americans who grew up in the desert. Some people went off the band because of their change in image, but despite front man Brandon Flowers’ terrible choice in facial hair - prompting music magazine NME to do a column dedicated to comparing Flowers to various things, including a kitten with long whiskers and a fish that had dark scales that looked like a moustache- The Killers second album, ‘Sam’s Town’ was a massive success, selling over 706,000 copies worldwide in its first week of release on September 2006 and ‘When You Were Young’ went to number two on the UK Singles Chart. The keyboard hook and guitar riffs are still reminiscent of the band’s first album, but the lyrics are very different to Brandon’s usual repertoire; including the line ‘He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus’, a possible reference to his strict Mormon faith. However, the new direction was a welcome change, the single showing a more mature band than in the previous effort, but not losing any of the Killers’ likeability. ~Charlotte Earney.

Eagerly awaited by the millions of fans they made with “Hot Fuss”, The Killers return with newly grown beards and a shift in their sound, replacing cultish 80’s British rock influences for more mainstream 80’s US rock acts. Same decade, dodgier keyboards and an even more anthemic production that may help them fill bigger venues. The way of Springsteen, though, has been walked by many and is no short of dangers: it could lead the band into loosing their cool; sounding larger than life or becoming another example of adult oriented boredom.  shazam
