The New Killers Song
« on: July 13, 2006, 11:30:00 am »
Yuck!!!
 
 I'm listening to it now over the radio.    :(  
 
 Sounds like some song from out of the 80s that took its basis from the popular synth sounds of the times but then was completely remixed and homogenized to fit into the major lable hit formula mold to infect our radios with sickly mold spores. Pathetic!!!
 
 Thank God it's short.

You can't be right... this is going to be the best album of the last 20 years, remember?

Yeah, Stereogum had a snippet of it the other day.  I caught these awful lyrics:
 Can we climb this mountain?
 I don't know
 Higher now than ever befoooore
 I know we can make it if we take it slow.
 Let's take it easy
 Easy now
 Watch it go.
 We're burnin down the highway skyline
 on the back of a hurricane
 that started turnin when you were young.
 When you were youuuuuuung.

No, it's worse!
 Much worse.
 
 At least the first album was catchy. This really has all the sounds of a throw-away.

The lyrics just really reminded me of  Freelove Freeway from the UK Office.

My main thought was how weak his voice sounded.
