Hot Fuss is the only good album

I like these guys too bad.

I've liked everything they've put out, they deserve a break though.

That last album was crap but I like the Killers and think this break will do them some good.

Their only great album is Hot Fuss, after that they had about 5-6 excellent songs mixed with B-side material. Tranquilize is a awesome song.

This is great news

Didn't like their last album much, so no problem if they're taking a break.

weren't they fighting alot before this hiatus?

Sam's Town was amazing, Day and Age and Hot Fuss were both pretty good I thought. This was going around for a while though, it's funny they are just now announcing it.

Sam's Town > Hot Fuss >>>>>>>>>> Day & Age

news is meh, but hopefully theyre not done

So Day And Age > Sam's Town > Hot Fuss.. bitches

at first i didn't like sams town...but at first i didn't like the killers. time will prove that, along with day and age, the killers are a damn consistent pop band. here's to any side projects/creative napping that this band has to endure to continue making good music.

sam's town is the worst ew

^ No way, it's a solid record.

If you have a peach, press it gently, Mmmm, lovely and ripe. We're going to remove the stone from the center now, then leave it in a pan of boiling water.

Sam's Town was ok, Day and Age was disappointing, I still go back to Hot Fuss the most.

Weren't they releasing a cover album?

That was Saw Dust Puddles, covers and B-Sides.

You sure? I thought I read an article about it over the summer... They said complete covers album

I bought Saw Dust the Day it came out and that was there Covers/EP album. It has the Joy Division cover on it along with Tranquilize with Lou Reed. All I heard about the Killers releasing anytime soon was the live album they just released.

The world needs more 'feel good' news stories like this one.

JWT155, you are wrong. They have definetly been in talks of making a covers album. Not Sawdust (which is one word, btw). I actually really loved the cover of Bright Eyes they did to be honest. They are a good/respectable band that deserve a break. I hope their next album is just all around great though...

thank god.. lets see if franz ferdinand follows suit!!

Sam's Town was one of the most underrated albums of the last decade. IMO, it was just as great as Hot Fuss. Day & Age was pretty bland though...

Break is fair enough... They have been pretty much touring non-stop & are popular all over the world.

Having said that, I'm certain the new direction of 'Day & Age' did annoy 1 or 2 of the members. I was reading an interview with the drummer & you can tell he was not happy with the direction, despite not specifically saying so.

they have some songs i like... but good for them...

I love Day & Age.

Hot Fuss >>>>>>>>> Everything else they've done

On Top from Hot Fuss is one of my favourite songs ever

Yeah Davey I got the same vibe.

their singles are good but they make alot of filler as well.

This just made my friday a little bit better.

sam's town is the only thing i'll really miss from them.

Awe The Killers!

I hope they disappear forever

Sad to hear
