 A Top 10 most-listened to CD! Nov 21, 2009
Some really well-written reviews here already, so I may be in the minority here as Sam's Town is vastly superior to The Killers initial album in my honest opinion. I thought of a new wave-Queen sound when listening to this CD as it has an almost operatic quality to it. And it's just loaded with hits (very catchy tunes).
This CD firmly establishes the band as not some other flash-in-the-pan; they indeed are the real deal. One of just a handful of modern bands that I'd really like to see live.

glam meets grit Oct 15, 2009
can anything be gritty and glam rock? This album sure can! What a great combination, what a great concept and a great sound. Fun and fantastic!

The most reat album from The Killers Sep 22, 2009
Contrary to what the critics say, Sam's Town is the best album released by The Killers.
This album consolidates the band's career and also defines the visual identity of the members who come to the concerts of the tour in a Mexican style.
Highlight the songs "Read My Mind," "When you were young" and "Sam's Town".

 Experimentation Leads to Mixed Results Apr 09, 2009
The Killers faced the same problem many bands do after releasing a successful debut: Should they stick to the same formula or explore new territory? They chose the latter, and the results are mixed. On the positive side, lead single "When You Were Young" manages to sound fresh and ranks aside some of the best from Hot Fuss. Other highlights like "The River is Wild" and "Bones" are intriguing and well-crafted, but even they seem like diversions, weak compared to past glories. The best song is "Read My Mind," which, unsurprisingly, is as close to Hot Fuss as Sam's Town gets. The majority of the album attempts to copy rock classics like Born to Run and The Joshua Tree; The Killers were brave to experiment, but they weren't ready to take on such a daunting task. Compared to the debut, this is a disappointment. 3 Stars.

 This album sucks!!!!! Mar 31, 2009
My brother bought this album because he liked the song "When You Were Young" and wanted to see what else the killer's had to offer. While he was at work, I listened to it, and When you were young was the only song I liked on the disc!! I wouldn't waste money on this cd but thats just me. See for yourself by listening to sample's.
