The rock band The Killers

The cover of the new-The Killers album "Day & Age" (Iceland, 2008) shows a mosaic. The style of orderly batch in which each part only in combination with other important and of itself is not more than one color, is well chosen. Were the vocals of Brandon Flowers on the first single "human" to take, Flowers would not be more than an acceptable Pet Shop Boys imitator, Bono, it can also quite good. In conjunction with the music gives a different picture. One of the currently most successful rock groups is a great pop band hybrids of the past 20 years, something New Order, Depeche Mode something, something U2. The band from Las Vegas from their home town, however, learned that there are not enough to make a copy of the Eiffel Tower in the countryside to ensure they must be well embedded, best in the neighborhood are constructions of other star. For the arrangement of their all-star Killers songs dedicated to the Madonna producer Stuart Price. And drew on one-armed-bandit Killers combination: catchy, pathetic songs, the great Popmomente nachspielen.
