killers: sawdust

The Killers Sawdust

The Killers have a new record out. It’s not a ‘proper’ album, just a B-sides ‘n rarities compilation. Like almost all of The Killers stuff up to yet, it’s fantastic (regardless of the tepid critical reception) - conveying exactly why they’re the most creative and confident mainstream band on the planet.

    It’s funny - the Killers never get the critical reaction they deserve. Both Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town were really strong, interesting albums.

    Same goes for the Magic Numbers… they don’t neatly fit into a category, so people don’t know what to do with them.

    xD.

    All the Killers stuff is difficult to listen to at first. The first couple of listens are subdued, but given time, the tracks get under your skin and don’t let go.

    I heard a track off this playing in HMV the other day, although I didn’t realise it at first - I just wondered why the song didn’t sound like it did at home…

    Very good band, and a crime they only got to do one song at Live 8 - but despite that loads of people were walking away at the end of the day singing it.
