Negative Positive
Title: Overrated attempt to jump start a dead trend.
Review: In a quest to find something right with today's radio, I landed upon "Hot Fuss" by The Killers.And now, my quest continues.This album is loaded with overrated buzz, horrible lyrics, and ghastly tunes. Just quit it Mr. Flowers, new wave pop is dead, and you're anything but the Re-Animator.Singles for this album such as "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside" are just totally ridiculous. Take for instance, the chorus of "Somebody Told Me"Well somebody told meYou had a boyfriendWho looked like a girlfriendThat I had in February of last yearIt's not confidentialI've got potentialWHAT? Granted, it's not a mumbo jumbo hunk of lyrics like pretentious prog act The Mars Volta, but still, the lyrics, in any context, are just bad. And the album gets drier and drier as you move on, finally closing with "Everything Will Be Alright".Well, trust me, if you listen to this album, perhaps not.
Is the review positive or negative?
