Negative Positive
Title: It doesn't have to be poetry, but.
Review: I really enjoyed the first 30 seconds of the first video I saw of the Killers. Then I listened to the lyrics. First of all I have heard this song already several times. Secondly, lyrics don't have to be great poetry, but when they manage to be both dumb and needlessly pretentious....Having now tried to give the whole album a fair trial, I must pass judgement - they are sad, pompous boys, who like to dress up in other people's music. Lack of originality wouldn't be the end of the world, since the melodies are generally pretty strong, but the lyrics! The lyrics are SO BAD I have trouble sitting through an entire verse (although I gave them two stars - I have to save a one star rating for things like Gwen Stefani's album). I wish the singer wouldn't try to pronounce his words like a Brit, either. Urgh.Yeah, I really hate this band.
Is the review positive or negative?
