The Killers / Brandon Flowers

I'd say Battle Born is now their most cohesive album, it's the closest thing they've ever done to a concept album and the songs and lyrical content just flow into eachother amazingly.

Sam's Town is grossly overrated amongst Killers fans in my opinion. It has some good music, but the lyrical content is lackluster in that it was the beginning of Brandon spewing out clever word play, metaphors and imagery for the sake of sounding poetic, when in actuality most of it doesn't make much sense. I'm not saying all the lyrics are like that, but some are. And some of the songs just drag for me, like For Reasons Unknown, and Bling, both songs that people put on a pedestal that I just can't really stand. When You Were Young, Read My Mind and Bones are really the only songs I'd put in with Killers' best, other than that I've never found the album as good as most people say it is. Don't get me wrong, it is a great album, but it's not their best and it's just not a masterpiece. I think Hot Fuss and now Battle Born surpass it.

I must agree with Alex here, except that I first thought Day&Age was crap and I still think it But Battle Born is really good and, although it obviously hasn't fully settled yet, I think it's on par with Sam's Town as their 2nd best album
