Add The Killers to MyNME

As Brandon wails while his band turn into an epic Erasure, ‘Human’ marks the point where the synth jubilance of ‘Somebody Told Me’ gallops into ‘Sam’s Town’ guns blazing; Killers in finest breeze-rock mettle. The chorus refers to Hunter S Thompson’s assertion that America is raising a nation of dancers; this, ironically, will be more cause than cure.

I appreciate this band arn't everyones cup of tea and thats totally fine. They may be too pop sounding or too cheesy for others and cool, but I love them, love this single I think it's very different and as Brandon said it was "too good for Sawdust", can't wait for the album, can't wait for the tour. By the way what are the words does he say "dancer" or "denser" i'm still not sure haha :)

I've not heard this song yet, but i'm guessing it can only get better. I'm not one for compleatly dissing groups because you've gotta have some geniousness in you to make any song up in your head. But the first thing i hate about this band is how much they changed, secondly is how they changed in to bible bashing bloody religious creeps, however i loooved thier first album.I'm just hoping they droped the whole moustache and bible act. It was all a bit too fake for me...

So bad they're back with so many synth, dier I must say. On the other hand is the best you can have handy at the moment with this horrendous music bussiness.

Are we human or are we dancer? NO he is just a shit lyricist in a shit band, who made a decent debut and living off that albums success! Anyone see them at reading? Booooooooooring as hell, so boring i went to see the manics! Thats saying something
