    i thought about buying tickets back in february but didn't think nothing of it until i listened to the whole album a month ago. man....their album is killer. my favorite song off of it (besides 'somebody told me') is 'all these things i've done'. that track is serious stuff. now i'm disappointed that i didn't listen to it earlier.

    The stuff I've heard so far is entertaining. I won't get a chance to go, but I wouldn't mind seeing a show.

    I saw them open for the Pixies last October. Thought they were pretty good.

    I love their Hot Fuss album. Can't find a song I don't like.

    Saw them last summer at Engine Room for 10 bucks.

    They were decent. One of the opening bands sounded better...

    At the 30+ bucks it takes to see them at Verizon it's not worth it.
    Their best song is the remix of Mr. Brightside (Thin White Duke) and that's not even theirs.

    Anyway, decent band - just not decent enough to merit 30 bucks...

    Saw the ACL taping yesterday afternoon in Austin. Good set, but short, barely an hour of music.

    I thought they sounded great live... very entertaining show. My one complaint is that they only played for about 50 minutes. Thought they would mix in some cover songs to take up some time.

    Yea show was great, but something definetly isnt right when the intermission is longer than the feature act.

    Verizon may not have great customer service, but I didn't know they killed anyone! :eek:
