The Killers - Human

ShaneU · 05-10-2008 1:39am #1

Anyone else heard it? It's the new single from their upcoming third album on November 24th called "Day & Age".

I really like it, very catchy.

I generally like the Killers but my god that song is bloody awful

Placid_Casual · 05-10-2008 10:10am

I loved Hot Fuss so much when it came out, I thought The Killers would end up being one of my favourite bands. With that in mind, this song makes me feel a combination of sadness and anger.

insinkerator · 05-10-2008 10:24am

I was looking forward to the album.... but if its gonna follow this line, then no more.... no more.

You just know that this is gonna be the "big" song of the album too, and it will be forced down our throats every second of every day

05-10-2008 12:45pm

oh good god thats awful....:eek:
cant believe this is the same band who put out Mr.Brightside...

Kold · 05-10-2008 3:53pm

[Mandatory pointing out of the fact that The Killers are awful and need to stop ruining ears]

K cya.

As for the song it sounds like some cheesy 80's new wave/synthpop type mess. I can see it getting massive radio air play though because it's The Killers and it is kind of catchy. Too bad it's not very good at all.

gustavo · 06-10-2008 10:49pm

Well I like it anyway , took a few listens admittedley

Aspiration · 07-10-2008 11:38am

I love The Killers. I loved Hot Fuss but didn't like Samstown when I first listened to it. Then it grew on me and I love the album now. I'm hoping Day & Age will be like that seeing as Human hasn't made a very good impression yet.

speedboatchase · 07-10-2008 2:00pm

I like it a lot actually, great production. I think for Killers fans like myself that didnt like the change of direction from Sams Town will be glad to hear this

great over production.

tbh

It sounds like it's been fed through 5 or 6 different computer programmes and given layer upon layer of mid 80s synth, and not the good synth either.

shoelaceface · 07-10-2008 2:23pm

i kind of like it... it will prob grow on me!

not like their old stuff which was the best!

The Batman · 07-10-2008 3:22pm

Im the biggest fan around of the killers.....didnt love it or hate it at first....a few listens and now i really like it! Spaceman is very good too!

smackbunnybaby · 08-10-2008 7:53am

listen up straw-clutchers, this song is atrocious. if this song is supposed to be the single to promote the new album then jeez...

a poor mans chris de burgh

Xavi6 · 08-10-2008 7:56am

^^^ I lol'd (cause it's true)

Sad thing is, I've seen the Killers live three times (2 festivals, one gig of their own) and I have to say on this evidence I won't be going again.

Prof.Badass · 08-10-2008 9:34am

The killers started out as a cool party/pop-rock band.one of the first, they helped create the scene. sadly they then (like so many other promising bands) descended into bland and emotionless sad-rock.

pity.

JaneyMc · 09-10-2008 9:12am

It's rubbish, I really do not like the direction the Killers have gone at all.

thetingtings · 10-10-2008 2:23pm

the killers rule go killers

daftdave · 10-10-2008 2:30pm

this song wouldnt get anywhere near being allowed on hot fuss so that answers it, its an average song at most , dong get me wrong, i like the killers but this is pish.

daftdave · 10-10-2008 2:32pm

LMAO - this is more entertaining than the original song !!!!

hada · 10-10-2008 3:25pm

song is bar none, one of the most boring singles i've ever heard.

throw in the fact that they are TERRIBLE live, they're not actually any good at all.

Probably just me..But this is the kinda post Xbox36016 would make...And this account was just created when Xbox36016 was banned...hmmmmmm:cool:

ronanoc · 10-10-2008 4:04pm

I quite liked Hot Fuss and loved Sam's Town. The only words I can find to describe this is utter gunk. Terrible. Really really poor. And what's up with the lyrics?
"Are we human or are we dancer"?

****e.

witnessmenow · 10-10-2008 4:06pm

If a new band tried to release that song it wouldn't have got anywhere

The only reason we've heard it is because The killers are who they are

It is MUCK

Bubs101 · 10-10-2008 5:30pm

To be honest, I kind of like it. I really like Brandon Flower's voice, I think it's kind of epic in an understated way so I'm willing to forgive alot of the mistakes. I also don't think the lyrics are that tosh assuming that it's denser and not dancer. I definitely think it's more of a Sam's Town album song than a single but I loved most of the songs on Sam's Town and liked the ambition and I think they've carried it on. I'm also of the opinion that they are turning into a grower band so I think this song could certainly settle in for a while before becoming popular

MB81 · 10-10-2008 7:04pm

Loved the killers first album hot fuss was excellent every song on it nearly, i like nothing they have done since then. Have not heard the new song yet but dont hold much hope for it

BaZmO* · 10-10-2008 7:14pm

America are entering the Eurovision now??

More importantly, what is a thread about The Killers doing in an Indie/Alternative board? Begone, ye annoying human dancers!

There's no pop forum, and anything that isn't rap, heavy metal, or jazz seems to get dumped in here.

overexcitedaj · 11-10-2008 4:54pm

this is tripe. And i loved their first album.
Very disappointing indeed

Shryke · 11-10-2008 5:20pm

Like a lot of people I like Hot Fuss. I did not like the second album although that song they did with Lou Reed, 'Tranquilize', was good. The sound of this song makes me angry. It's just so such ****. I refuse to call it music. And why the hell don't we have a vomit smily?! It would have saved me having to type words, precious words...
I was never big into these guys so whatever, it's just a little sad to see a band that started out having actual potential turn to such crap.

Kold · 11-10-2008 5:34pm

*cough* always crap

Shryke · 11-10-2008 6:03pm

*cough* I'm not going to fight you on that *cough*

youcancallmeal · 12-10-2008 9:50pm

Sounds like a crappy europop song

Indie rock and roll my ar*e!

smackbunnybaby · 13-10-2008 2:19pm

today fm are now forcing it down are throats just like the rubbish new kings of leon song - "go on listener, open wide and take it"

Xavi6 · 13-10-2008 3:42pm

The other leaked song 'Superman' is just as ****. That's me finished with them I think.

lordgoat · 13-10-2008 4:27pm

slighty off topic, how awesome is this song?

Don't be rash Xavi! Any band that comes up with a Christmas song as brilliant as this deserves a second third and even fourth chance. Played this to death last year. Will do the same again this Christmas. Keep the faith!

There's a general music forum.

Rollo Tamasi · 14-10-2008 3:49pm

Christ eating an ostrich egg, that is poo!. Killers have big poo poo mouths.

Killers sound like Keane.
Keane sound like the Killers.

They're both poo.

Same here, Loved Hot Fuss obviously, didn't take to Sam's town at all to begin with, but after a few listens I actually prefer it to Hot Fuss, but I also like this new song, so maybe I'm different to most... can't wait for Day and Age.

flame away...

gustavo · 16-10-2008 2:46pm

Ste05 your opinion is the same as mine

Soby · 18-10-2008 5:15pm

If thats the best to come from the album im gonna pass..and i love the Killers...And Mr.Flowers please shave the tash

Mozzette · 20-10-2008 10:19pm

It's so different from the previous stuff, but I'm not going to write them off just yet!
As for the 'tash on Brandon Flowers....I quite like it!

if all you really have to add about the new music is brandon flowers choice in facial hair then your opinion isn't really valid tbh.

Soby · 21-10-2008 12:40pm

Well i clearly also gave my view on the song if you noticed.
Its one of those songs i hated,i love now i hate again..
Still Roll on The Killers live:D
