Not gonna lie, I like this a lot, but then again, Born to Run is one of my all time favorite albums. Jesus, they've got that whole break down with the glockenspiel and everything.
Score = 0
i dont think its the greatest thing ever like ultragrrrl does, but it is interesting.
Score = 0
jesus this sounds bad. i think they're trying way too hard. wait, like their last album was the model of restraint.
i guess next they're going to remake born in the usa?
Score = 0
It's not bad, but it is so Springsteen! Although that's never a problem for me. I'd rather hear rip-offs of older artists than some of the bland indie rock that gets pushed as great these days. When is someone going to rip-off Dolly Parton?
Score = 0
White Stripes did rip off Dolly : "Jolene"
;)
Score = 0
what the fuck?
these guys said they were making the best album in years or some kind of shit, right?
i declare this the second coming of SUCK!
all hail the glorious suckatude of it all!
bask in the suckiness that is Brandon "i dress gay to pick up chicks" Flowers!
(i think you get the idea that i may not like this, and you would be right)
Score = 0
i think its a pretty solid track...sure, they're trying too hard and it's a bit over-the-top, but as Balumpus said, "their last album was [hardly] the model of restraint". What do you expect, they are from Vegas afterall.
Score = 0
that riff is kind of a rip off of "talk" by coldplay.
Score = 0
I have to agree it is pretty interesting but I can't say that I like it... not yet at least. The song seems to send out a positive vibe, which may take time getting used to. I sorta feel I like them more when they were singing about murdered teenage girls and about being insanely jealous and paranoid. My plea: get back on the dark side.
Score = 0
I'd probably like it if I Didn't hate his voice.
Score = 0
I definately hear the Boss's influence, I'm not wild about it, but it definately has my attention. It is a little over-the-top, but I kinda like that aspect of the band.
Score = 0
If it's supposed to be one of the best of the past two decades, shouldn't it develop a bit from Hot Fuss?
I don't mind the song, and I don't mind Hot Fuss, but that certainly wasn't one of the best of the last 20 years, and this doesn't seem like much of a step up.
Score = 0
it reminds me of the cars actually. his voice more then anything at times, trainwreck of a song though.
Score = 0
Is it just be or does this song sound exactly the same the whole way through? like, I don't know if I even distinguished a chorus from a verse.
maybe i just wasn't paying attention...
Score = 0
Shit Sandwich!
Score = 0
So does this sound more like Meatloaf or Sparks?
Score = 0
Meatloaf is right. It's not so much Springsteen, but Springsteen through a Steinman filter - all bluster, no nuance. But Steinman had more interesting melodies, better lyrics, and a singer who could actually convey an emotion or two.
The biggest problem is the vocal delivery. Flowers has all the emotional range of Gary Numan, which is a pretty bad trait to have if you want to pull off a supposedly heartfelt anthem.
Score = 0
Unless the other songs on the album are amazing, it's certainly not going to be one of the best albums of the last 20 years judging from this song, but I think the song is good. What I hate most about it is his voice. Never been the hugest fan of his voice in the first place, but he sounds really bad on this song. How high was he when this was recorded? Definitaly some springsteen in there(not a bad thing). One thing I like is how it seems to have no chorus, yet it's still catchy, and the somg arrangment is a little different from the average. I don't like it as much as Mr. Brightside or Somebody Told Me, but it's good enough. What's up with the lyrics though, maybe I'm just slow but they make no sense, then again this is the Killers.
Score = 0
After hearing 3 minutes and 39 seconds, I am ready to pass judgement on the entire album ... and declare it the best record of the last FIFTY years! The only that could it make it better is if they actually did hire Jim Steinman, Read Em And Weep-stizz!!!
Score = 0
All you music snobs need to take your heads out of your asses, stop wearing low-rise jeans and xxs t-shirts and recognize real art when it arrives. I hate you all.

The MTV viewers love Bruce Springsteen. this album is going triple platinum!
Score = 0
MP3 please!
Score = 0
I am real sorry but this is digusting Springsteen might be happy for the nod i.e back catalogue sales but that would be all he can smile about...
Flowers knew f' all about Springsteen until the 25th Anniversary thing came out and he has just f'n swiped it bad lyrics in all "were riding down the skyline on a hurricane"... He said he knew Born In The USA and Glory Days but that was it...
The come down before the middle 8 is just stolen from born to run. His voice cant carry the heavyweight songs - just very poor...
The story of the song is actually based on Thunder Road but musically it is arranged like Born To Run - so poor so poor

I said "shit sandwich" in the first Killers post, but in fairness I can understand why they would make stuff like this. All they have to do is not take risks now and they'll sell tons of albums. Gotta love the record biz!

By the way, if anyone wants to hear a GREAT and new Springsteen influenced song check out Lucero's new one "I Can Get Us Out of Here Tonight"...http://tinyurl.com/pxufj

This is junk. The Killers will be the next Remy Zero instead of the next great New Romantic rip-off band that they were destined to be.

Clip was better than full song.
Score = 0
To the person who said he wished the lyrics were darker... i dont know about you, and i could be wrong, but i interpret the song as being about the devil. anyway, that's my interpretation. particularly the "he doesnt look a thing like jesus" bit.
also, didn't coldplay say they ripped off the riff for talk from kraftwerk?
I'm kinda young, so I never really got into Bruce Springsteen, so I dont know if it's a ripoff or not, but I like Interpol and they ripped of Joy Division and dont admit it. At least the Killers admitted to the inspiration. If it is a Springsteen rip off, i can only imagine they did him justice since "when you were young" is great and i've listened to it about 10 times in a row now.
Score = 0
I love love love it. I think it's amazing.
Score = 0
And you know, they did take a huge risk. Maybe non-fans don't notice, but this sounds nothing like Hot Fuss at all. A lot of fans are actually kind of pissed, and a good bit of them don't like it. Losing a chunk of your fanbase because you matured as a band is typically a sign of taking a risk. And whoever said this sounds like "Talk" is out of their mind.
Score = 0
We totally need an Mp3 for this!
Please!
It's awesome.
(but maybe I'm biased because I'm a die hard Killers fan.)
Score = 0
This isn't bad, but Flowers' voice on here is awful. It sounds like he's dying, and whining as much as possible is his only chance at survival..
Score = 0
Haha, the second I heard that riff I instantly thought of Coldplay's "Talk."
Anyway, it's a good pop song. They're a fun pop band. That's about the extent of it. But they certainly haven't done anything new or shaped the sound of music for years to come. I'm still waiting on Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon Collie..." to be beat. Tick tock, tick tock.
Score = 0
This is an instant classic...tomorrow's classic rock today. And yeah, the Springsteen influences are heavy and great. I've listened to this song about 20 times already...and can't stop

I tell you what.....the Cars meets the Boss with some balls.
Great hook, good changes and excellent vocals.. the guy can sing.
Who gives a shit who it sounds like...Led Zep sounded like Robert Johnson....How did that work out???....as far as OVER THE TOP this is a ROCK BAND from Vegas we are talking about right??? ....what do you want them to do sing soft mello drama dark bullshit for Starbucks....At least this song can be played in a bar on a Friday night and it will get peoples attention and not put them to sleep.
To me that is what this band is all about and based on this track it sounds like they want to remain loud and YOUNG!
Score = 0
That is fucking terrible, and I actually enjoyed some of Hot Fuss. I guess I commend them for taking a risk and not relying on the formula of the last album. Wait, no actually I don't.
Score = 0
Well, I wasn't really blown away by it at first, but it has gotten progressively better with each listen. Yes, it does sound an awful lot like Springsteen meets Meat Loaf meets Billy Joel but, y'know what, if you're of a certain age (30 plus), everything sounds like something these days - there's just no getting around it. At least The Killers do it with a bit of a "nod, nod, wink, wink" style as opposed to garbage like The Arcade Fire and She Wants Revenge.
Score = 0
Wow i really love this song, i mean the last album was great but probably the best song on that album "was under the gun" which was left on the cutting room floor only to be put on the extended, special version, i highly recommend hearing that song though, but i love the feel good lyrics that have a driven corous which really can make you quote on quote feel happy, springsteen was a great, and brandon is very cocky but i hope its as good as he says it is
Score = 0
This song is good. His vocals are a little bland.

Better things to do then cut up others ..when I dont even play an intrument or sing myself...so off I go to listen to more music ...that I'm an expert on...to others who listen to music..enjoy it all...and enjoy the Killers

It sounds alright, kinda like a mix of 80's pop with Conor Oberst singing. I have to hear the album before passing judgement though.

It's such a crying shame that you people only like bands that no one knows about. If the killers were not the big deal they are today you'd be all over them and this single.

Vocal sounds so much like Ryan Adams, it's insane...especially the "watch it now, here he come!"
All in all it's a great song, plain and simple. Not the 180 from Hot Fuss I was expecting, but different enough.
The last time through the chorus is amazing with the different chords being emphasized.
Great defiant and desperate feel...very uplifting at the same time. Classic song, hopefully.

Ah so many haters! But guess what? So many lovers too. Hot Fuss is still at number 37 in the UK album charts 2 years after its release. That can only mean two things. 1. there are thousands of people out there who are buying a copy every week just to keep it alive or 2. more people are listening to the new stuff, getting into The Killers for the first time and wanting the first album.
All these posts about waiting for the album to flop - it's just not going to happen is it? I mean come on, like tem or not, The Killers are a very popular band.
The new song is just brilliant. The lyrics, the vocals, the arrangement everything. And as for it being too risky and over the top, wake up. The Killers are not a shitty Indie band. They are a Rock band. From Vegas.
Dare to be different kids.

last album i LOVED,I thought it was awesome.
So I spent forever; and
a half awaiting..THIS?!I don't think so.
So far, my high hopes
for this upcoming album are pretty much shot.
Let's hope this song doesn't represent what
the rest of the album will sound like.
Score = 0
Strong song, much better than I expected. Now we'll see if all the "fans" stay on board for the second album.
Sink or swim people.
Score = 0
This song is fun for Bruce nostalgia reasons only. I think it's funny that Brandon tried so hard to sound like a Brittish 80's New Waver on the last record and now he's opted for 80's Americana pop. Will Brandon Flowers ever find a voice of his own?
Anyhow, I think NME hit the nail on the head when they declared "Hot Fuss" the "best half album of the year". The Killers are great at making a few catchy songs, but they don't have it in them to make the "greatest record of the last twenty years". I suspect the new album will be the same thing: Front load the record with all the singles and filler for the last half.
Score = 0
I've been a Killers fan from the start, they're my favorite band, and I love love LOVE this song, I cannot WAIT for the album to come out. It's brilliant.
Y'all are too critical. =P

The killers are the ownage. This song spanks just as hard as Mr. Brightside. Indie is a god-send, Gogo killers... gratz to one of the best bands around. And yea is that you alex? Its jo lol .
Respect Brandon Flowers for being a beast and having the best voice ever. I bet you are just all jelous =D

There's quite a simple answer to everyone who doesn't like The Killers: don't buy the fucking record. No ones forcing you. I'm sure they'll do just fine without your support.

Woah, are you all deaf?? this one blew me away -made my day! -his vocals add a lot to the atmosphere
sounds more like the big u2 of the early days meets the cure (still) than bruce... the riff has indeed alot in common with Talk but didn't coldplay rip it from Kraftwerk? But basically this song is stunning and now I have suddenly high expectations for their album...
Score = 0
I can't stop listening to this song. To all the snobs who are putting the song down for being over the top - you guys are missing the point. And his voice is perfect, over the top fits just right here.
Score = 0
heya
For the first 30 seconds of the song when i first heard it on Radio 1 at the train station i was unsure about it but from then on it has just grown and grown on me and i now LOVE it so people need to give it time. Its hard for them to create a new song and for everyone to connect with it straight away and love it.
People are going to have to realise how hard it is for their new album,'some sounds', to follow on from 'Hot Fuss' as for many people the album was amazing and therefore their expectations for their new album will be too high, even if it is as good as most average albums nowadays people will slate it for not being as good as their first album and the second album can sometimes be the hardest to get right if their first is a huge success.
The Killers needed to try and create a slightly new sound but at the same time have it recognisable as 'The Killers' when people heard it so the public should recognise this and try to like the change, they couldnt exactly have made an album that sounded exactly the same as the first.
People, respect the fact that 'The Killers' have made an album that they like and that will entertain the pulic and they do not care what the critics think about it.
Somepeople have made comments about how the last album wasn't the best because there was a range of quality of songs on the album but most of the songs were great and how many albums can people actually name with more than 10 songs on all of which being great, well publicised songs?
Following on from those comments people have said how they believe 'The Killers' are 'Good' but not capable of making the best album of the last 20 years so they are not 'Great'. However, apparently then if this claim is true then their can only be one 'Great' band for them of the last 20 years and 3 'Great' bands in the last 60 years and sorry but if you only listen to these 3 bands then your album must be very dull. My ipod has about 2,500 songs on and out of them the killers' section is still my favourite.
Finally, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T BUY IT OR LISTEN TO IT. NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU BUY IT OR LISTEN TO IT SO DON'T AND IF THE ALBUM IS ONLY AVERAGE-GOOD DON'T BE CRITICAL THAT IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST, BE THANKFUL THAT IT IS AS GOOD AS IT IS AND THAT THEIR IS A SECOND ALBUM TO LISTEN TO.
Thank you if you have read all of this.

How the hell are they "trying too hard"? What? are you fucking stupid? They manage to make this track catchy without having all the complicated layering BS that it takes a song to make it now a days. Trying too hard? Of course they need to try hard, their last album was a chart topper.

i'm not sure what the album's going to be like, and i almost never listen to Hot Fuss, though it is, without a doubt, the greatest album title of all time. but ten seconds after this song came on the radio, in the car, with no introduction, i was hooked. 3:38 later, the sound was so loud the car was shaking, and I was sweating. begging them to tell me who it was. imagine my surprise when it was the boys from vegas.
come on. this is a fucking fantastic song.
Score = 0
this is awesome if you like horrible vocals. to be technical there's way to much vibrato and he goes off-key in a few spots. The problem with this song is that that riff is extremely catchy, so even though i dislike it, it'll probly be in my head for a while now. time to listen to some real music to get it out

This song is really good. I was going to write "actually" in front of really good, but the Killers have a lot of really good songs. Of course Mr. Flowers is gonna get some harshness for the "best album of the last 20 years comment" but only because it's easy to make fun of stuff like that...
I know there's a lot of ways to make fun of the killers, but i believe that, just like weezer or the smashing pumpkins, people will be psyched to hear this on a jukebox in 5-10 years.
I know I will...

fact: his voice isn't the best. but the song is really catchy, and it IS a great and well-produced song! Maybe even better than the hits "Mr. Brightside" or "Smile Like You Mean It". But YES, his voice isn't that good....especially when he sings withoutthe rest of the band....
Score = 0
d you guys ever listen U2??
you should...coz back before U2 was not a hit sensational, Bono was not so much hot vocals like he is now...
two thumbs up for the killers,
why?
coz' they have guts to make music sounds different than the others...
Score = 0
I like it a lot
Not their best song and i know their album wont be as good as first. But that doesn't mean it wont be a good album.
I can see them losing hype with this new direction but who cares? They will have a longer career cos of it and gain more respect.
Sometimes i think ppl are happy for bands to keep churning out the same old dross like Oasis and Coldplay.

Jon: "that riff is kind of a rip off of "talk" by coldplay"
Just like "talk" is a rip off of "computerlove" by kraftwerk.

I hated it at first, I thought the Killers let me down. Now it find it really catchy and I'm really loving it. Brandon's not the strongest singer but it is what it is. Catchy pop. Alot of artists out there cant sing very well. The Killers aren't trying to be Springsteen, although I can hear the influence. Do people hate Springsteen because he's a Bob Dylan rip-off? I like it.
Score = 0
I Love it! And i hate it! bc i hate the killers, but this song is so goddamn good, goddamn its good. Not the greatest song ever dont get me wrong, but its so dramatic and everything. Hard to explain, but i can't get enough of this song, which says alot considering i hated Hott Fuss with a mutha fucking passion, i got off on how much i hated it. Now im liking this im starting to quesition everything...
Score = 0
btw i love his voice in this song, soooo much better than in Hott Fuss, main reason why i didnt like it...
Score = 0
I'm a hesitant Killers listener. Not a fan, but I liked certain things about Hot Fuss, so this was an anticipated release for me. After listening to it I can't help but feel the strong Springsteen influence. Once you heard "We're burning down the highway skyline/On the back of a hurricane/that started turning/When you were young" There was no doubt that this was a Boss nod. After a few more listens, I think that its almost a Thunder Road tribute to the power and force of Born to Run. Flowers voice does leave things to be desired, but I think its better than anything to be found on Hot Fuss. Less rediculous, a more developed sound.

i was so-so on the song on the first few listens and now i can't get this song out of my head. the more i listen to it, the more curious i become of what it's actually about 'coz we all have different interpretations of it, right? while i do agree with those who say that brandon's vocals here could use an improvement, but isn't that probably 'coz his voice was not as altered as it was on hot fuss (and add to that the faux english accent)?

i really didn't like it at first. but i wonder if it's growing on me.

I like it more every time I hear it! It's fun, good hooks, fitting vocals...everything it takes to make a hit pop song.
It does kind of remind me of Coldplay's "Talk", as far as guitar goes. The hooks...well, they remind me of lots of songs, Springsteen, Meatloaf, too many others to name. I guess that's how music gets popular right? Appeal to the masses.

OMG wake up everyone. The Killers are the best. The song isn't so MUCH of a step up from Hot Fuss. But I love it. I can't wait to hear the whole CD. The song kinda has the same flow as Hot Fuss which is good. They aren't trying to reinvent themselves into something they aren't. You gotta love the sound. Like some said THEY ARE FROM VEGAS AFTERALL. Their style is to go overboard and unnaturally awesome.
Score = 0
i take back the part about sounding like Hot Fuss. This shit soudns nothing like Hot Fuss. His vocals are more higher, which you have to love. This single is the best and you all know you are anticipating the release of Sam's Town because you know the killers will..well...kill it.

I am a huge Killers fan and when I first heard this song, I was a little dissapointed. I felt like it wasn't as catchy as their other songs. WITH that said, after I heard it a couple of more times, it actually started to grow on me. I now absolutely love it, still not my favorite Killers song, but def worth listening to!!
Score = 0
I must admit when he first started singing on this track I cringed and thought "oh no" but I've realized something. I think the people who say they hate is vocals just listen to the vocals and not how they blend with the rest of the song. Brandon Flower's doesn't have the best voice but its very unique I think. a lot of the singers to rock bands sound the same to me (and luckily that sound is a good one)and its hard to tell who does what song. but I think I'll always be sure that its the Killers. And his voice goes really well with the sound of the band. and overthetop? yes! that's what makes them great to me, they're shameless. and I agree that the song gets better with subsequent listenings.

The vocals seem somehow detatched [not to mention rather thin, wobbly and echo-laden]. And when the swelling synth/guitar riff kicks in it seems to confuse everything. The "driving down the highway" stuff scares me a little, given the 80s-esque leanings of Hot Fuss. And no-one seems to have commented on the misguided backing vocal section towards the end that comes out of the blue and goes nowhere. I loved Hot Fuss but, on the strength of this release, I'm worried about Sam's Town. Very worried.

just another feeble attempt at reincarninting a classic rock song to try and further yourself in the mainstream... it worked for the ataris, briefly. so, when in need of a hit, redo a decade-old hit. it's so sad... 2 years from now... "the killers who?" - "oh yeah they did a horrible version of springsteen's 'when you were young'" blah.
Score = 0
I like the song very much
The song fits the killers very good and its their typical sound... cant understand why ppl complain about it. Its just music and you like it or not you dont have to make a big deal about it everytime a band brings out their new stuff and start a discusion about them losing their roots -.-
Score = 0
Dear god people! This is only one song. Lets see what the whole album is like before we judge the direction the killers are taking.
The song was pretty good. I'm a musician so I tend to hear the bad notes more than most, but even this song just had some fine tuning work. Yeah Brandons voice is strained half the time. Hopefully the album version will be a little more clean.
The lyrics are still the usual killers tone, but the music itself is more upbeat. Still sounds great to me. Although, I do agree the killers should lean a little more toward their hot fuss sound for a thrid album. The band is still doing great.

You guys are a bunch of idiots. If you knew better, you would know that this album is influnced more by American Rock, rather than the last album which is more on the British side.

Simplicity is the key. Of course it's not Stravinsky but I like it. With such piece of pop aboard a car, gearbox will change gears much faster.

Hang on - hang on, seriously.........hang on. That Riff - is a rip of 'talk' by coldplay is it Jon? Grow some ears boy, you have issues.
Who don't you whinging rich boys and girls just sit back and enjoy this song rather than criticise everything you hear. Springsteen was great, but this is 2006 now - move on!!!
I bet you lot are the sort of people who'd whinge at a train being 1 minute late and self harm yourself because of it.

When we were young has a mix of Freddie Mercury and queen background harmony, Springstein, and bowie. not a bad mix job
using song riffs from albums from the 70-80's.

I don't kwow what you are all talking about the song being a rip off. Who fucking cares? the song sounds good and has real meaning unlike lots of the other shit being produced today. I don't even like the killer I think they're queer but this song is a sraight up jam.

And to all you people out their dissin rap go fuck yourself. Mike Jones and so many new rappers are complete shit but if you want some real gangsta tunes check out some geto boys, or 2pac or some new stuff from rick ross.

It baffled me very much, but always when i listened theirs songs at first time i didn't like them at all and didn't even understand how can people listen such a piece of shit or how can they stand his voice especially. But some time after i listened it again and realized that the songs were pretty good!!
I suppose this was because of vocal, not of Flowers voice by itself(it sounds not bad), but of what they get after recording...They definitely do something with it because the voice is felt so unnatural.It seems like he sang not through a microphone but through some kind of pipe! But it still not very bad (even James Hatfield sounds ridiculous in his early albums) So i hope they'll found their sound!
And what about "When You Were Young", by now I've listened it about 10 times or somthing like that and as you can guess eventually i love it!!!

rip off or not, this song is pretty good. For those who think it's about the devil... I'm not too sure about that, maybe you're looking too deep.
I'm sure it's about a girl who has done some bad things in her life and shes looking for that one guy to come for her, sure he may not be perfect but he's what shes been imagining since she was young. Doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but more than she'll ever know, because she's done some bad things... maybe not going to 'heaven' soooooooo she'd only come in contact with the devil... so she would never see Jesus...
Score = 0
This song reminds of a young girl from southern Mexico who falls in love with an older man. He saves her from her old fashioned values by taking her virginity. They marry and all is great. She catches him cheating, considers suicide, but he comes to the rescue. He doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but he saves her. He is all she knows. She goes back to her old ways and like a good woman tolerates infidelity. Sadness

Well I like the song a lot. I don't care as much as some of you do about rock, but this song touched me a lot (I'm a guy). The music catches and keeps attention and the voice of the singer is full of emotion, even if vocally speaking I think he has still some improvements to do.
About the video, I don't think that the (Asian?...well, we will say pretty) girl is coming back because she tolerates that her husband is cheating on her; I think that she decided to fight for him when he came to save her from suicide. In addition, we can clearly see that his desire for his wife returned when he watches her cleaning her feet. Well, the song was fun, even more with the video: we don't have stereotyped people, though they're beautiful^^

This song is holding up way after its release. Springsteen mixed with the Cars from a Vegas perspective is an original concept if nothing else. Cheers to Flowers and the rest of the Killer boys for making a great song. Looking forward to the next album.
