It’s interesting to note that there’s no mention of the boys.

He lost some of his synth lust to contemplate guitars getting an Oasis tattoo? No loss...

The Killers. One half decent song badly recorded. That’s it. Don’t understand the continued hype about them. They’re The Strokes but with better haircuts.

[Tom Angel]

I love the killers.

And so prolific.

They are definitely going through a guitar stage, but the synths are still there and will be back.

They love for PSB is well documented. It's not like they've stopped liking them, so we can relax!

The Killers have really gone up to 11 with their 80s influences on their new single Your Side of Town. If there is a new album coming out, I hope it all sounds like this.

It's very Instant Crush by Daft Punk & Julian Casablancas with hints of It's a sin. I love it.

Is it me or there's something going on within Neil's voice?
He's either lost some power in his voice through age and/or he sounds quite nervous and is very likely reading from a script. It always amazes me that a wordsmith and former journalist does that, even the little scripted between-song segments on stage that he gets the ubiquitous Walliams to write. Why?

[DopeFiend]

why post this here if there's no mention of PSB.
this a psb forum.

Plus, You can easily sing the lyrics from True Faith over Brandon's first verses (I feel so extraordinary, something's...). Same Melody.

Neil gets bagged for his voice, but I find he has a lot of range in style and emotion. While with the Killers sure the vocals are stronger but I find the voice always identical. Don't mind them though, just find that the song needs to be very strong for me to listen, unlike PSB who tend to engage me even with B-sides.

[Spittingcat]

Brandon has a distinctive voice that leads people to claim that he always sounds the same. It's not true at all, he has great range. The same accusation is often levelled at Neil by casual listeners as well, also unfairly.

Check out the track "Pressure Machine" from the last Killers album. Huge range in that one song alone.

[jasonjohn]

Yeah I understand Brandon has range and a good voice. Just not especially engaging to my ears.
