Is anyone else of the opinion that these are the best band around at the moment, i think a new album is due this year.
BTW - i haven't heard The Strokes new one yet. |

Saw them live last summer and was amazed to see such an overrated band. No offense mate but they didn t make the comparison with Interpol for example.
if you like the Killers what do you think about Franz Ferdinand?
But may be they re better in studio, I haven t heard their record except their 2 similar singles.
cheers

Franz Ferdinand - ok, but its too art rock for me, the riff to "Take Me Out" sounds like i heard it before somewhere, like it was one riff one of the great bands forgot about, or overlooked. |

I would agree they are overrated, and their album is filled with underwhelming songs, but with that said, I gotta admit there hasn't been a song as unbelievably CATCHY as 'Somebody told me' in QUITE a while. Maybe only I Predict a Riot comes close in the past couple of years in terms of catchiness.
I think FF had a better debut album than Killers, but now? UGH. They already seem over to me. |

Interesting point.Need to hear their record in integrality.
"this fire" got a pure intensity too but wasn t released as a single.
"Do you want to " is the worst song of the new FF.
the rest is consistant and enjoyable. especially the guitar work and the drums. |

The best song by the Killers to me is, Andy, You're A Star - the one that goes "ive got soul, but i'm not a soldier" |

Isn't the "I got soul" thing on 'All these things I've Done'?
I have to admit I don't even remember how Andy You're a Star goes anymore...
Smile Like you mean it was nice for me, but again, too many "meh" tunes on the album overall. |

I find even their big hit single is overrated. |

The Killers IMO are quite over-rated. I am not too crazy about this style of music. I heard it before when it was big in the early eighties and I wasn't nuts about it then. I really think Franz Ferdinand is better, actually.

I quite like the Kaiser Chiefs' one Employment, which I picked up recently. More memorble than the Killers if you ask me. |
