Another great review. One of the best debut albums ever. When I first heard them, I thought they were British, such is the new wave/electronic influence. However, the sound is totally their own and Brandon has a great voice, with touches Englishness.
Albeit this album was released in the penultimate year of my highschool I wouldn't call it my favorite. Which is strange: usually it's the music that people listen to in their teens that sticks with them forever. And I certainly listened the crap out of this album for the following several years. But I always looked forward to the next Killers album and I don't resent them taking me from this punk-rock-synth style to something more vegas rock-country dance-like that they morphed into. Maybe being a classical musician plays into this in the sense that as a classical musician you get such thorough training in comprehension and performance of all types of music starting with medieval estampie, continuing with modernist claptrap and ending with arrangements of an Iranian pop singer's repertoire that I have a much wider and eclectic taste for music than an average person. But with Killers I am amazed with how catchy their tunes continued to be throughout years. I find myself always returning to the album Flesh and Bones, so I guess it must be my favorite. I love the song Wonderful, it has a bizarre sound to it. I love Joy Ride with its disco bass. Human - dance anthem. Caution and My Own Soul's Warning - more county-like. Uncle Jonny. The World We Live In reminds me of Queen's This is the World We Created and I'm fond of both. Love Killers.
Music is a personal thing. Personally I beg to differ. This album has synths all over it and was totally influenced by British new wave. Thanks for comments and for watching Electronic Cafe. MW

Not exactly my style..... not electronic at all.

Not for me.
Awful, and certainly not electronic ☹️
Music is subjective. Personally I beg to differ. This album has synthesisers all over it.

@@andymcnab6848 I absolutely agree it is subjective, but this is rock, pure and simple, and personally leaves me cold.
