Saw them live last year and they were brilliant, Brandon Flowers is a top frontman and even my husband who moaned like a drain about going came out a fan. In terms of albums I like them all, but I would start with Hot Fuss or the most recent Battle Born.
Whats the new album like? Is that Battle Born, as Bowie mentions above? Saw them on Later the other night, thought the first song was pretty damn good, but they've fooled me before.
I first came across them playing "All the things I've done" at Live8, fair took my breath away, but somehow never get through an album satisfied
Hot Fuss is excellent. The odd good track on Day & Age. Sams Town Abbey Road version on erm the Sawdust album is worth buying just for that version of the song. Very good live band, seen them about 3 times now at Festies.
I have all their albums except the newest. Tend to shove them all on my comp & add my to fav tracks to a playlist cos can't listen to an entire album without wanting to skip loads.
Bit like Kings of Leon. Although haven't bothered to see Kings of Leon live. Can't guarantee they will be bothered from gig to gig could never say that about the Killers.
Distinctly average gig. Personally, I don't think his songs are strong enough. Highlight was Chrissy Hynde joining him on stage. She sang, Don't Get Me Wrong and another one with Brandon.

This is one of the best moments of my life, especially as I got in for free!
Wembley song they did live this year is brilliant. Its on YouTube.
I'm confident it won't be as good as The Killers, but I love Brixton Academy and can get home from there in less than half hour.
