Review

The Killers hail from the States, but don't sound American at all. 'Mr Brightside' is their first single, and is already a favourite on London radio station, XFM. 'The title track has catchy guitar lines, a distorted vocal, and is just so cool that it makes you wanna dance. 'On the Top, the second track, features a keyboard intro, and on this singer Brandon Flowers sounds like a cross between Shed 7's Rick Witter and Strangelove's Patrick Duff. 'Smile Like You Mean It' sounds like a mix of early U2 and the Cure during their 'Disintegration' era. The whole thing is finished off with 'Who Let You Go', a pop ditty. A fine band and a great single !
