I, personally think Sam's Town is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Not THE best, but It's definitely something to be proud of. It was also voted most underrated album of the DECADE by Rolling Stone. I'm glad Brandon and The Killers are excited about their music. If you put out an album and you DON'T think it's the best thing you've heard in a while, then get the hell out of the music business. If YOU don't like it, why would anyone else? We have enough dumb-asses like Lady GooGoo or whomever putting out crap in auditory form and dressing like a tard.
*and that picture was taken the moment his girlfriend showed up at the party wearing an off season Roberto Cavali mini-dress.

I'm sorry, but The Killers don't even BEGIN to compare with AC/DC, The Who, Dio, Black Sabbath, Tom Petty or any other original bands. And he didn't say "of this genre" he went out and said "ever"

You couldn't hold the ball sack of people like Sufjan Stevens, Beck, My Morning Jacket, Radiohead, Phish and too many others to name.

I met these guys in Toronto, but I unfortunately didn't get to meet Brandon. They are an awesome up and coming band. One of the best concerts I have been to, and I have been to quite a few. There is a lot of talent there, and good music to listen to. They deserve recognition. Keep it up, Killers!

I think their first album, "Hot Fuss" is better than "Sam's Town" anyway...
