Kramerfan Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Really after 4 albums now the killers have enough material that you can really make a bad mix cd of them. Either one of your lists would likely turn a newbie into a killers fan if they have tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm quite picky about compilation CDs. I don't think the second song should be a ballad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XN2Wrm_rZS0&...feature=related2:27. Human is probably one of (if not) the best singles this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobodys_Fault Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Those first 3 songs must be the best sucession of any 3 songs I've heard on an albumI was thinking about this today as well. I had always considered the opening 3 salvo from Straight Outta Compton as my favourite but this is really growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm quite picky about compilation CDs. I don't think the second song should be a ballad.I know. It was a controversial decision that has caused me several restless nights. I originally had When We Were Young as the second song with Read My Mind following. But for some reason I just had to have A Dustland Fairytale and When We Were Young together. In my mind, they are made for one another.In my mind, Brandon is also a Neon Tiger. A pure and bold Neon Tiger that likes cuddles and scratches under the chin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamisonic Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 A Dustland Fairytale is SO cool. I can't stop listening to the album. Even Joy Ride sounds incredibly cool now. Hell, even the intro to This Is Your Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more rumours of impending doom plz. From reading all the Chinese Democracy sales threads it seems that Day & Age is selling well. Good to hear.

misch Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) I always wondered what the meaning of "are we human or are we dancers" is? I think we already discussed this here, because I remember that some were thinking that it was "denser" instead of "dancers" and it would make no sense otherwise. So yesterday I read an interesting article about Day & Age in a german newspaper and they say that "or are we dancers" is a reference to american writer Hunter S. Thompson who once said: "We're raising a generation of dancers." I found that pretty interesting...

misch Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Goodnight, Travel Well belongs to Kid A or In Rainbows. I love it. Highlight of the great album.The beginning of Goodnight Travel Well could have been on the soundtrack to 'The Dark Knight', the dull ambience and arrangement always reminds me of the last few minutes of the movie score from TDK.Just compare it:The Dark Knight EndingThe Killers - Good Knight Travel WellIt almost sounds identical in the first 30 seconds. ...and by the way: Day & Age is defintley one of the best pop records in 2008.
