Thoughts

The Killers rocked their headline set at Glastonbury, so it was an easy pick to listen to one of their albums this week. And boy what an album. This has that amazing thing where there are multiple amazing songs next to each other and I just can’t believe that such greatness exists (tracks 2-5 obviously). But the whole thing works and stands the test of time.

Brandon Flowers has such an iconic voice, and these tracks span the gap between pop and rock which makes it ideal for me. It’s not perfect and the flip side to having four great songs in a row is that the rest of the album is a dip down from those highs, but I liked it and I’m annoyed it’s taken me this long to listen to it.

Rating: 5 / 5
