HEY SO I MET DAVE KEUNING THE OTHER NIGHT

He's SO nice and he hugged me and I got to tell him how much his music means to me and he said "it's a few fans like you that makes this worth it!" and I just AAAAAA

It’s actually not bad. Musically I really like it; I was surprised by how synth-heavy it was (I definitely expected it to be more guitar-centric), but it has a New Order vibe and I dig it. He clearly knows how to build and craft a good song instrumentally.

I think the lyrics have flashes of brilliance, but overall I was underwhelmed with them. There’s a lot of repetition and simplicity which leaves me not quite satisfied. I feel like a lot of songs just end super abruptly too? Like I’d be listening and suddenly it just ended and a new song was playing.

Obviously my biggest criticism is the vocals, which aren’t bad, but he just doesn’t have the range, so a lot of songs end up sounding similar/repetitive and it lacks a certain amount of emotion/feeling.

A lot of songs I think would have benefited greatly from the full Killers treatment, and honestly it’s a shame they were overlooked for whatever reason. Who knows if they were flat out rejected by the rest of the band or if they would have been revisited at another time, but there are definitely a handful that would have fit nicely in the Killers’ discography.
