I notice that a lot of people really haven't liked a The Killers CD since Hot Fuss. I suppose if you are person who expects a band to never grow in their creativity or music styles, you might be disappointed in this CD.

As another reviewer stated, this CD takes a few initial listens to adjust to the new sound before you really start to appreciate the lyrics and the outright beauty of many of these songs. "A Dustland Fairytale" is haunting lyrically, vocally, and musically. I see this song when I listen to it.

I loved "Somebody Told Me," the first time I heard it, and I have been a fan ever since. The songs were so different than anything I was hearing, and this CD has the same quality. Everything on it is wonderfully different from what I am used to hearing, ... Read More

When I first heard a Killers song on the radio I thought it was okay, then I saw them on SNL and found them interesting.

Eventually I went and purchased this CD and I am very happy I did. Maybe they are not breaking new ground here, and their influences can be heard, but it still works.

They are combination of The Cure, Depeche Mode and even U-2 (as you can hear on Midnight Show ) with a bit more of a rock leaning than some of the 80s bands such as The Cure, with songs that are very well done.

The first time I listened to the CD I was able to listen to it all and it kept me listening to the entire record with solid songs. If you like pop/rock/synth blends you will like the.

For myself, I wouldn't care if The Killers came out with an album of B-sides like Sawdust every 6 months if all of the songs are as great as these are. The songs on here are a mixture of the sound of Hot Fuss and the sound of Sam's Town and then a dash of neither for good measure. With the exception of "Move Away" I can, and have, listened to most of the single tracks with the repeat button on because they are that great!

As long as you are not a person who gets twisted up in knots when someone breaks what is perceived as protocol for artists in the music industry, then this would be an album you could enjoy as much as Hot Fuss or Sam's Town.

Brandon Flowers's voice conveys more emotion than any of his other work, and the other band members do the same. Sam's Town is an experience and relates to me so much more than most other rock. I think the only reason sources reviewed the CD poorly was because of Rolling Stone. They thought the emotion and feeling was fake and cliche, probably because they didn't listen to the CD more than five minutes.

If they had, they would have found something deeper.

But I love it. There is not a single funny line in the whole song, but it is very fun to listen to. Of course, the first time I heard it I saw the music video as well, and there is no getting that video out of my head while listening to the song now. The knit sweaters, the puppets, Brandon Flowers in the back of the convertible......classic!

When the Killers released Sawdust in the middle of 2008, just four years after their first album Hot Fuss there were many that felt it was just 'too soon,' for them to release a b-sides collection. After all, how much b-side material can you really have in a stretch covering just two albums? It's likely that many will say the same thing about this repackaging of their first two studio albums and the b-side collection. Is it really fitting to be producing a collection or '3 pack' when the band is so new? I'll leave that to others to argue about.

The Killers are quite simply on of the best bands to come in the last 10 years or so, with a fresh, intelligent, and fun variety of synth-pop, alternative rock, and genre bending tunes that I (and many others) have come to love. If you don't own any of their ... Read More
