Sounds pretty good. I was hoping for some of the songs they sang in the last tour to be on the album, Life in Stereo(?) and Where is She?
Maybe they will be B-sides. I hope this album lives up to promise of Hot Fuss.

What's strange is that many albums that have come out, even historically, tend to have the #1 single in the #3 track slot. Strange.

Wow. Those Pitchfork people hate everything don't they.
Having listened to it a few more times, I love it. The guitar work is awesome. On Hot Fuss, you could always tell there was great guitar underneath, but the rest of the must overpowered it. You can hear flashes of great guitar on "All These Things That I've Done" and others.
I like the more guitar driven sound.

That Pitchfork review is spot on. 
Still, it sounds promising. I think Hot Fuss was pretty front-loaded. I tended not to hear much of the stuff after "All These Things That I've Done" (probably my favorite song on there).

The first single is amazing-hope the rest of the album can live up to hot fuss-And while Hot Fuss is one of my favourite albums the latter end of the album does falter a bit after indie rock and roll........i have high hopes for the second album though!!

I loved their first effort and also enjoy the newest single. I saw them live last year and they put on a good show. Ill definitely be getting tickets for the Detroit show.

I really like the Killers, and they put on a good show. But I don't like the new single at all. Bleh. Hopefully they are releasing the worst song on the album as the first single. Yeah......right.
