Title: So we're all up for nostalgia, are we?
Review: The Killers are another one of these retro-revivalists who've made it big. They're here honing in on those who've always had a soft spot for new wave hits. Who have enjoyed The Cure and Depeche Mode, who like their songs a little darker but still upbeat. Are they any good? Not exactly but they do show signs of promise. Somebody Told Me is not bad as a song as it has the androgynous tongue-twister chorus that is an update of Blur's Girls And Boys. The rest however is a little sub-standard really. Tossed off in a rush and sounding a bit like the also-rans of Britpop ten years ago. The music is nothing exciting though. As with most retro-revival acts, it treads on thin ice. It's only a matter of time before it cracks and then we'll see whether they sink or swim.
