‘Sam’s Town’ would not get as much $hit as it does if Flowers had not crapped on about Springsteen & how this LP was going to be a “classic”. And while it does not quite match The Killers’ debut ‘Hot Fuss’, it’s a much different record since the Las Vegas quartet replace British new-wave with arena rock Americana. It gets a little too precious & theatrical at times, but it’s relatively consistent & someone has finally realised that track ordering is important. Plus, ‘When You Were Young’ is a song of the year contender. Recommended Tracks: When You Were Young, For Reasons Unknown, This River Is Wild & Read My Mind.

Well it's The Killers best album imo, much more mature than Hot Fuss and a lot less hit or miss (although I'd have to say The Killers best songs are on Hot Fuss).

"I can’t gush enough about the packaging of Sam’s Town."



One of my favorite sputnik sentences. Almost more than the

"human capacity has exceeded......etc etc" you know.

Great album, very underrated.



This is one of the 5 albums that helped me transition into modern day music after growing up with just oldies.
