I would say it's pretty solid. I would have preferred it to be a little more guitar driven, but I can't complain.

Started off pretty terrible in a Foreigner kind of way, wound up being slightly catchy as it progressed though in a J. Geils Band kind of way. Still super cheesy though and not at all what I was hoping for from this band.

Very, very U2 influenced

But shit man, I miss the OLD Killers. I still listen to Hot Fuss all the time.

I too wish it was old killers, cause that was their best. BUT I actually really enjoyed this. Had an awesome old school vibe.

Brandon's voice is so different from the first album too imo

Oddly enough, hot fuss is probably my least favorite by them.

It took a lot of flak for some reason but Sam's Town was always my favourite album of theirs. As for this track...ehh, it's alright I guess.

lol this is brilliant. If they don't do anything shitty like on day and age I'll be enjoying the hell out of this new album.

I really enjoyed this song. Cheesy? My God! That's a bit harsh. I like the 80's centric vibe they're going for. If you loved The Killers for just Hot Fuss, I get it, but still the hate that poored down on 'Day & Age' was so harsh even RollingStone reevaluated it as underrated. I think a lot of people just want another 'Mr. Brightside' or 'Somebody Told Me' and I'd like that too, but how would they grow as a band knowing they sold themselves just making pop tunes. No way guys. I couldn't bare to see a band hurt themselves artistically like that. Opinions are opinions, but sometimes change is an undervalued thing.

Sam's Town was their best album...I wouldn't mind another album that sounds like that.

I really wish they'd go back to the Hot Fuss sound, but this was a decent song.

Day & Age was really bad and this doesn't seem to be any better. Their first album is still the best.

This sounds like a cross between Sam's Town and Day & Age. I'm fine with that.

Intro sounds like an opening song from a TV show, can't remember what though. Still, ok song, great band.

Is an enjoyable track ,catchy and with a lot of energy. They always have been a good in my eyes and Hot Fuss was their best cd, I even enjoy Day & Age but the low points make me rate that with a 3.

They sounded almost British on the first record which I really loved...this just sounds like cheesy americana rock...

The fact I went through all of these comments and didn't see one refer to Bruce Springsteen is a giant Sputnik fail.
