    Didn't like their last album, the first single from the new one is the Killers doing what they do best, anthemic arena rock. I keep reading Springsteen comparisons, but this is closer to Journey.

    I like the killers and this songs pretty good... But it sounds like a combination of the rest of their hits. Probably why I like it.

    Hot Fuss was an outstanding album. The rest of their stuff is just meh.

    I really like the other albums by the Killers, but only about 3 songs on their last album Day & Age.

    This song sounds a lot like Brandon Flower's solo album, which really sucked.

    I hope there are better songs from the new album. They should go back to their roots and play things similar to Hot Fuss and Sam's Town

    Sams Town, Abbey Road version is one of the best.

    Looking forward to this album.

    I'll probably get it. There are only 3 other albums I know of that I am looking forward to getting:

    Bloc Party's comeback album (out in August)
    Animal Collective (out 9-4)
    Grizzly Bear (out 9-18)

    IMO, 2011 was a stronger year for new music than 2012.
