The Killers Band • Page 7

I actually prefer Flamingo to The Desired Effect.

 

Flamingo is still the best thing Brandon Flowers has done.

 

I like Flamingo, but it sounds like a Killers album without the Killers. The Desired Effect has a more distinct solo album voice and I think all of the Killers albums are more exciting and interesting thanks to the presence of the band. I probably still like Flamingo more than Day & Age, because it just has a lot of really solid songs, but I definitely disagree that it's his best work--or even close, for that matter.

 

The solo stuff doesn't do much for me, but "Crossfire" and "Only The Young" are two of his best songs.

 

Jilted Lover and Broken Hearts might be my favorite song he's ever written.

 

Well now you're going to make me go back and listen to Flamingo this afternoon haha.

 

And On The Floor. And Playing With Fire.

 

I've never been able to enjoy Flamingo at all for the same reason - it just sounds like a Killers record without The Killers on it. I really feel like those 4 guys just make some damn good music when they're together. Flamingo is just missing that spark.

 

Sweet Talk is one of the top 5 best killers songs

 

I really love a lot of those songs: "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas," "Jilted Lovers," "Hard Enough," "On the Floor," "Crossfire," and "Magdalena" are all top tier. But I always feel like it's missing something. Versus The Desired Effect which sounds like it's exactly what it's supposed to be.

 

I think I agree with this one. I love them both, but Flamingo just resonates with me more.

 

New Christmas song this year?

 

Yeah, apparently it will be their last one.

 

Where did you see this? I would be sad

 

Mark Stoermer Confirms The Killers are Working on their 11th Christmas Single, Packaged Christmas Album

 

That's kind of sad but it will be cool to have a full album

 

is this the christmas album?

 

No idea, that was the only thing shared on FB.

 

I can see it being the Christmas single but I'm hoping it's one for the fifth album instead

 

well they also posted a picture of the K with the caption "what are you getting for christmas this year?" so I'm assuming that's what it is :- /

 

I'm glad for a new Christmas single. It will be nice to have all of them collected on an album too if they still carry through with that. I am definitely ready for a new studio LP, though.

 

I think that might be the name of the album, since that's more or less a line from "Boots".

 

What do I win?
