Here's the review from NY's "Village Voice". It's an interesting read. http://www.villagevoice.com/2008-11-19/mus...om-the-killers/ More Nonsensical Digital-Heartland Anthems From The Killers Still prancing in the dark By Rob Harvilla published: November 19, 2008 This right here is American.You can imagine that growing up in Las Vegas would give you wildly distorted and entirely wayward ideas about what the rest of the world is actually like, that you would come to regard the pervasive neon, the garish glitz, the profound seediness, the rampant amorality as totally normal and commonplace—a lurid fantasy world that completely defines your reality. But the Strip is not Main Street. That's not really the Eiffel Tower, that's not really Caesar's Palace, that's not really New York City, and that's not really a woman. This confusion is what makes LV pretty-boys the Killers' blatant desire to be the Great American Rock Band so fascinating: Their conception of what "Great American" means is plainly ludicrous. ("Rock," too, come to think of it.) First surfacing in 2004 with Hot Fuss, they began as a delightfully vapid fashionista synth-pop/dance-punk band, but soon betrayed a desperate and all-consuming longing to think Really Deep Thoughts, to transform wine into water, Nevada into Nebraska, all those glittering neon palms into The Joshua Tree. Consider "When You Were Young," the lead single off 2006's self-diagnosed concept album Sam's Town, which deigned to chart "the sad demise of our old-fashioned American values," as its press materials insisted, which here means incredibly expensive-sounding synth-pop/dance-punk songs about down-and-out blue-collar losers stuck in "two-star towns." Listen to "Uncle Johnny" at your own risk. The condescension was total, and totally engrossing, and nowhere more so than on "When You Were Young," wherein frontman Brandon Flowers thundered the line "And sometimes you close your eyes and see the place where you used to live," with a resoundingly pompous, bombastic, all-caps/boldface/italicized bellow, as though he were Bruce Springsteen reciting the Ten Commandments to a crowd of hundreds of thousands. These guys just want it so bad, to mean something, to speak for us, to ascend to Super Bowl halftime show Voice of a Generation heights. It's the funniest rock-'n'-roll song of the past five years and, naturally, quite possibly the best. So now comes Day & Age, a luxurious, hedonistic epic produced by Stuart Price—he of Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor (i.e. her last good record), plus a fantastic disco-fied remix of early Killers smash "Mr. Brightside"—that boasts the same alluring contradiction: It sounds like approximately $10 million (it's basically Bottle Service: The Album, and just in time!) but attempts to rhapsodize the downtrodden and penniless. Typical song title: "A Dustland Fairytale." Typical soul-searching refrain: "Are we human/Or are we dancer?" (?) "We talked about the real things and drove into the fire," Flowers intones on the ridiculous asexual sex jam "Joy Ride," and as he awkwardly gyrates about to a torrent of Miami Sound Machine accoutrement (congas, horns, funky bass), you gotta wonder what these guys consider "real things." His lyrics leap haphazardly from striving-American-heartland clichés ("wishing well," "hopes and dreams," "when your chips are down," "the great beyond") to botched zen koan/pickup-line nonsense, e.g. "They say the Nile used to run from east to west." Of course—and you can't overemphasize this—it all sounds fantastic, no matter how implausible it gets: Watch in awe as "Are we human/Or are we dancer?" is transformed into one of the year's prettiest, most rousing choruses, delicate and soaring, grammatically unsound gibberish rendered improbably profound. Any attempt to embellish the synth-guitar-bass-drums foundation, though, meets with near-disaster: The Stax-on-Atlantis horns on "Losing Touch," the cruise-ship steel drums of "I Can't Stay," the Ladysmith Lily-White Mambazo rockapella hiccups that drive "This Is Your Life." But every tune eventually resolves to another effortlessly delicate/rousing/soaring chorus, belying the eternal wisdom of a band savvy enough to realize that the most important part of U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" goes "Oh oh-oh oh/Oh oh-oh oh/Oh oh-oh oh/Oh oh-oh oh." As further proof, join us now at a sold-out Hammerstein Ballroom on a late October Friday night, the Killers and their rapt, severely inebriated audience a splendid antidote to a week's worth of CMJ shows full of vanilla-indie yawners way too cool to express enthusiasm of any kind. No, here we can all scream the words to "When You Were Young" together, and that's just the opener. As I recollect, everyone seemed to hate the rest of Sam's Town at the time, but tonight those tunes receive the same warm reception as the Hot Fuss hits. A popular activity at Killers shows apparently is for a soused couple to face each other and scream the words jubilantly into each other's faces, which gets confusing when said words are, like, "Somebody told me/That you had a boyfriend/That looked like a girlfriend/That I had in February of last year," etc., but, ah, f*** it. For someone whose lyrics (usually) betray such messianic aspirations, Flowers is not a particularly flamboyant frontman, with no particularly theatrical stage moves, unless you count standing on a monitor and thrusting his perfect cheekbones out into the adoring crowd, which I don't, really. Nice feathers. Anyway, any line, no matter how nonsensical, sounds positively brilliant when shouted by a roomful of people, even the infamous Hot Fuss chorus "I got soul but I'm not a soldier," which when shouted en masse sounds suspiciously like "I got sold but I'm not sober," but that fits, too. Most of the goofier Day & Age tracks the Killers dust off tonight are met with cheerful indifference—I assume all the horns are synthesized until I realize the couple in front of me who've been jubilantly screaming lyrics at each other the whole time are just blocking my view of the sax player—but if nothing else, "Human" will join the pantheon, once again justifying this band's oft-outrageous ambition. The record ends with the seven-minute mini-epic "Goodnight, Travel Well," a slow-burning ballad that slowly builds to chest-beating, Broadway-climax histrionics. We're back to Great American Rock Band sermonizing here—"All that stands between the soul's release is temporary flesh and bone," etc. You're not alone if that doesn't particularly mean anything to you, but what it means is less important than the mere fact that the Killers are trying to make it mean something. We appreciate the effort, that most fundamental of American traits, and that holds true whether you're from New York City, Detroit, Kansas City, Death Valley, Sam's Town, or, yes, Vegas.

New interview with Brandon and ADVOCATE Magazine: Big Gay Following: Brandon Flowers Killers front man Brandon Flowers thinks gay fans will connect with his album, but not even Elton John can get him to shave that beard. By Brandon Voss Smile like you mean it, because the Killers are on the attack with their third proper album, Day & Age, which drops November 25. Singer Brandon Flowers has been a gay fan favorite since the 2004 release of his Las Vegas–based band’s Grammy-nominated debut, Hot Fuss. Four years later, the 27-year-old is back in bloom with a fresher face and fiercer fashions. We picked the dad’s brain about his queer heroes, beard clippings, and an odd trip to The O.C. Not to sound like an obscene phone call, but where are you, and what are you wearing? I’m driving through Las Vegas on my way to a rehearsal. My daily garments are kind of boring, but Polo makes these custom-fit shirts that I’m a fan of. My dream would be to dress like a Polo ad every day -- they have great ads -- but the clothes don’t really fit like that when you buy them. Fashionably speaking, are you returning to your glam roots for the new album? Yeah, a little bit. It’s a little wilder. There’s a woman who goes by Mrs. Jones -- she does stuff for Kylie Minogue and Scissor Sisters -- and we reached out to her to make some stuff for us. She’s made me two jackets with fur sleeves. Which track on Day & Age do you think will resonate most with gay fans? Well, we marry disco and rock in a perfect way on “Joy Ride.” I think I may need to work on my dance moves. Do you think you alienated any gay fans with Sam’s Town, your 2006 follow-up to Hot Fuss? I hope not. It did go a little more in a rock direction, but it was still us. I feel like we make music for everybody. What about the facial hair you rocked for that record? I thought you guys liked that stuff! Although we do go have dinner with Elton [John] whenever he’s in town, and every time I walked in the door he would say, “You haven’t shaved that off yet?” I felt more comfortable with facial hair; it’s almost like a mask. Whenever I shave, I save the hair. I’ve got it in a bag, and I’m planning to send it with the new album to [Pet Shop Boys singer] Neil Tennant. Who’s the most influential gay person in your life? Whether I knew it or not, or found out later, a lot of the music that I grew up on tended to be made by gay men. A lot of my heroes were and are gay men. Growing up Mormon, you were probably sheltered from gay people. Do you remember your first encounter? I remember two women were kissing on a blanket while we were at the park, and my mom kind of rushed us away because she didn’t want us to see it. But I don’t think it affected me either way. Androgyny in your style and song lyrics back in the Hot Fuss days had blogs buzzing that you might be gay. Did having to field that question ever get annoying? No, because I grew up obsessed with Morrissey, so a strange part of me was very flattered by it all. If that was always hovering around, it felt like I was doing something right. It was fun for a while. Nike used the lyric “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier” from your song “All These Things That I’ve Done” for a popular 2008 Olympics TV commercial. Is there a lyric on Day & Age that could make you as much money? [Laughs] I feel like the chorus on “A Dustland Fairytale” is right up there with “All These Things That I’ve Done.” There’s a great feeling of unity that happens when we play “All These Things That I’ve Done” in live shows, and we were very proud with how [the commercial] turned out, and to be a part of the Olympics. You’ve made amends for feuds you’ve picked in the past with other artists like the Bravery, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! at the Disco, but is there anyone who still deserves your criticism? That’s a nice way to put it. [Laughs] There probably are a few, but I really am trying to be better. It’s not that I’m trying to censor myself as much as I think there’s enough negativity in the world, and I want to be positive. With people that I’ve put down, I understand now that they have their own ability and a gift for doing whatever they’re doing. If they like doing it, then I shouldn’t be trying to tear it down. Even acts like the Jonas Brothers? Well, that’s just kids. Disney’s getting really good at marketing; they’re making so much money. I mean, Miley Cyrus is up there with the Stones for tours. It’s crazy. Did appearing on The O.C. help you get in touch with that teen market? I don’t know if it helped us or hurt us. I still don’t know what it did. We were just getting started, and we wanted to be selective about what we did, but we were also scared to death that we weren’t going to make it. We always justified doing The O.C. by saying, “Well, if the Flaming Lips did 90210, maybe we can do The O.C. and get away with it.” Can we maybe expect a Gossip Girl appearance to promote Day & Age? No, now we’re older and wiser. Do you have any TV obsessions? We’re out of town so much that I don’t really have time to watch many shows, but I love House. House is my heroin. I want to meet [Hugh Laurie]. Have you had any contact with Rufus Wainwright since he wrote the song “Tulsa” about your first meeting in Oklahoma? I ran into Rufus in Scotland, where we were playing a gig called T in the Park. He was cruising around where all the bands are, and we had a laugh about it. I was very flattered. Isn’t it only fair that you write a song about him now? [Laughs] Yeah, maybe I owe him one. Nov 12 2008 OMG He loves House :wub:
