    :rolleyes:

     

    But they're not the same kind of pop as The Saturdays or Girls Aloud are they?

    Definitely more alternative, hence why they're in this forum - not just rock: indie, alternative and rock.

    Besides, they've got their own forum, so there shouldn't be many threads about them in any other forum anyway to be honest -_-

     

    I do agree with Rob

     

    And first of all, why there was several threads in the Alternative forum about the band when we actually have a The Killers forum? This thread ALONE could have been a simple post on this thread the killers...... human, there was no need to create an OMG LESS ROCK THAN GA if you were going to say the same thing.

     

    Now, If this had to be moved, I don´t see why not could be moved to their own forum, I know there´s people who just visit the main forums etc tec, but a global mod could have moved leaving a link to the new topic here to redirect there, so people who didn´t know, will realize there´s a forum, and can comeback to see newer updates.

    Probably some of the other AFs wouldn´t be that dead if the same management promote a little like this.

     

    Also, I don´t see why you think people is going to have a go at you for 'dissing' their artist, obviously the fans are the ones who mainly post in their forums, but I don´t think someone is going to go "against you" for saying your opinion, plus you know they will reply, isn´t that DISCUSSION? and that´s why we have moderators there too anyway, isn´t Buzzjack a discussion forum? So what´s the point of having a whole subforum for them ?

     

    The forum is big, but a regular poster/visitor can learn to use the WHOLE board easily with help, it all is nicely organized. ^_^

     

    Anyway, no one listens the AF moderators nowadays, so hey ho.

    And well Robbie Williams, I don't have the info about all his singles and the rest of Latin America but these are the Mexican Chart positions on the singles chart - oh and he is MASSIVE :wub:

     

    He was named the best selling non-latino artist for two years in a row in Mexico, in 2005 it was announced he had sold over 1 million records in Mexico alone (considering we don't have physical singles, it's only albums and DVDs that counted), "Intensive Care" and "Rudebox" were not counted, "Intensive Care" was certified 2x Platinum (200,000) it sold a bit more than that, and Sony Ericsson had a deal with him and the Robbie Mobile sold over 700,000 - the album was included on the mobile phone so he pretty much sold almost a million of "Intensive Care" in Mexico alone. "Rudebox" was his first number one album on the main chart but fell quickly, it only sold like 150,000 copies.

    The singles chart on airplay, ringtone and digital sales on the Mexico Top 100 Singles Chart, he has had more charting singles but i don't have info for the rest.

    As for Paul McCartney and Phil Collins and the others i don't have any info, they are quite famous obviously but they don't chart on the singles chart, at least i have never seen them charting from what i remember, just the albums chart and not that high either. :P

    I thought it was dancers actually :unsure: we still don´t have official lyrics, do we? :lol:

    ^^ Me neither! :lol: But I love it! ^_^

    The Killers: Day And Age

    World's first track-by-track review

    Joe Bosso, Thu 23 Oct, 11:00 pm UTC

     

     

    The Killers' Day And Age

     

    Early success can be a b**ch sometimes. The Killers have always had a lot to live up to after they came out of the box, fully formed, on 2004's Hot Fuss, an irresistible razzle-dazzle debut.

     

    Hot Fuss will pay Brandon Flowers and company's bills for years to come. Yet it's also an album that could have fans bugging him in restaurants asking: "How come you can't write a song as good as Mr Brightside anymore?"

     

    The Killers' 2006 second album, Sam's Town, didn't help. No longer content to make the dancefloor quake with dandyish fashionista charm and neon beats, main songwriter Flowers wanted to connect emotionally.

     

    He wanted to make Big Statements along the lines of Bruce Springsteen and U2 (tellingly, Flood and Alan Moulder, both of whom had worked with U2, helped produce). Sam's Town saw Flowers cranking up the epic storytelling like a man constantly watching The Grapes Of Wrath while Springsteen's The River played in the background.

     

    Day And Age isn't just The Killers' best album. It's one of the best records of 2008.Such grand ambition can sometimes be folly, especially when scale obscures eloquence. And detractors duly complained that Sam's Town saw The Killers losing the plot.

     

    As a transition album, Sam's Town did some heavy lifting, and at least proved The Killers were not going to rehash the winning formula of Hot Fuss. In interviews, Brandon Flowers even claimed they wanted to be "the next U2."

     

    Here's the thing, though: with Day And Age The Killers exhibit the smarts to pull off that leap into mega-stardom.

     

    Day And Age: album of the year?

    The Killers' Day And Age has all bases covered. It captures the emotional anxiety of late 2008 with a startling directness. There's also plenty of rocking, stomping beats to fill dancefloors. And there are melodies to fill your head and invade your soul.

     

    Produced by Stuart Price of Les Rythmes Digitales, it's full of buzzing horns, glorious synth atmospherics, gargantuan guitar breaks and epic impulses.

     

    Day And Age isn't just The Killers' best album, it's one of the best records of 2008.

     

    Day And Age is released 24 November (25 Nov, US).

     

    Here's MusicRadar's exclusive review.

     

     

    The Killer's Day And Age: track-by-track

     

    Losing Touch

    A rousing Bowie-like groove driven by honking saxophones and ping-ponging keyboards that kicks things into high gear. Brandon Flowers' voice is smooth and full as he intones "You made your home/ and you made your way back home/ like a roving vagabond, I'm losing touch." Dave Keuning makes his presence felt with a soaring guitar lead.

     

    Dave Keuning makes his presence felt with a soaring guitar lead.Human

    A gentle, phased, clicky guitar riff opens this gorgeous nod to the gentle side of '80s new wave. "Cut the cord/ are we human/ my sign is virtual/and my hands are cold/ are we human, or are we dancer?" Flowers asks in a plaintive, melancholy manner. Then the song gallops off into a Cure-meets-U2 arena shaker.

     

    Spaceman

    Shades of Queen grace this piston-pumping, fast-paced rocker. A perfect driving song - big drums, big hooks, and a wall of sound.

     

    Joy Ride

    The best Bryan Ferry song that Bryan Ferry never wrote. A sensuous, funky beat punctuated by Stones-like sax, biting guitars that tear through the choruses and a melody that hooks you on the first listen. The middle-eight is breathtaking. In fact, the entire band seems to grow more energized as the song progresses. Fun stuff.

     

    A Dustland Fairytale

    After a delicate keyboard intro, Brandon Flowers' vocals are appropriately fragile. But as the song swells, with jabbing cellos that seque into a double-time rage, he opens both his heart and his throat. This is a large-canvas narrative with a sound to back it up. Flowers' literary chops are developing in an exciting way.

     

    This Is Your Life

    African tribal chanting and harpsichord are strange musical bedfellows, but they spin a magical web on this spacey yet thumping track. Dave Keuning's echo-laden guitar combines with Flowers' barbiturate voice for an overall effect that is spellbinding.

     

    I Can't Stay

    A delicious Caribbean beat propels this stunner that features sax, harp and a gently strummed acoustic guitar. A song to sit back and drift away to until a dramatic middle-eight makes you bolt upright and go, "Wow!" Steel drums ride the song out in smashing style.

     

    Brandon Flowers has developed into a world-class vocalist, full of passion.Neon Tiger

    With little fanfare, this mid-tempo grinder gets going and doesn't let up. The instrumentation is perhaps the sparest we've heard yet from The Killers, but the middle section is a marvel of dramatic intensity.

     

    The World We Live In

    Melodrama that isn't overwrought or cloying is tricky to pull off. But Flowers' heavily affected, double-tracked voice is a thing of strange beauty here. He's developed into a world-class vocalist, full of passion and searching for the kind of truths that only the finest singer-songwriters can. Although the band provides gutsy support, Flowers owns this untamed monster.

     

    Goodnight, Travel Well

    Just as U2 concluded their arguable masterpiece, Achtung Baby!, with a descent into darkness on Love Is Blindness, here too, The Killers bring the curtain down with a seven-minute ride into a nocturnal dreamland. Forlorn and ominous, Flowers sings, "The universe is standing still/and there's nothing I can say/ there's nothing we can do now…nothing we can do now." Get ready for a crushing crescendo in which he's on the floor, begging "Stay!/ don't leave me/ the stars can't wait for you!" Drummer Ronnie Vannucci lets loose with a flurry of crashing cymbals that'll leave you breathless and wondering, it is still night or have we reached the dawn?
