When I put this CD on for the first time, I was definitely disappointed. The first single, When You Were Young, is a song I adored and can't get enough of. The rest of the album, however, seemed a little dull and slightly unimaginative. That was two days ago. Since then, I've listened to it several times and have had to come to the conclusion that I was extremely wrong.
When You Were Young still takes the place as "favourite song off the album" but, however, the rest of the CD is certainly growing on me. The Enter- and exitludes are perhaps a little unimaginative in their lyrics but the tunes are well, pretty beautiful, and the rest of the tracks have an edge to them. Sam's Town in particular has become a favourite, with its wonderful ending chorus, and For Reasons Unknown is great as well. As for the other tracks, give me some time and a few more listens, and I'm sure I'll come to love them as much as those mentioned.
Don't be put off if, the first time you listen to this CD you think that its not much good. Give it a chance and you're sure to start to adore it. In fact, even as I'm writing this review I've decided that Bling (Confessions of a King) is another fabulous song. And I just remembered that I didn't like When You Were Young the first time I heard it either.
It's a slow starter, but its another fantastic offering from the Killers and is definitely worth your money.

I'd been waiting for the follow up to Hot Fuss and was worried that it would prove the 'difficult second album' and disappoint me. Thankfully I was wrong and I think this is a better album than the first. The band sound confident in their sound and Brandon's voice is as charismatic and unique as ever. Bones and Can You read my mind stand out as the best tracks to me (after 2 days listening!) but there is not really a weak track on the album. Highly recommended

Not sure what Nigel Wilson's on about, but this HAS to have 5 stars. Not quite sure about the influences that the Amazon writers level at the guys either. The Killers are CLEARLY influenced by The Cure more so than any other band that they are mentioned in the same breath as, although I have to agree that the U2 comparison with Sam's Town sits well.
OK, the album. Opens with Sam's Town ,which should be familiar to fans on Hot Fuss, great guitar and vocal melodies. Enterude leads really well into When You Were Young, a classic Killers song that could easily have been included on Hot Fuss without the apparent detachment from the last album. From here we move through Bling and into For Reasons Unknown, which I think is form where the simliarities with U2 stem.
The other tracks cross from one to the other with an ease that makes the listening experience PASSIONATE. No highlights. Every track is fantastic. Really fantastic. Love it or Love it, there's no choice.

There IS life after Hot Fuss...
The haters are wrong, trust me. You may notice there is a familiar theme in their complaints. They state the lack of instantly 'big songs' or catchy tunes in Sams town. Read more

The Killer's at their best, and that is something great.
This album would be "one of the best albums in the past twenty years", Brandon Flowers said before the release of this "Sam's Town". Read more

What was all the hot fuss? This one's the real deal
For someone who liked Hot Fuss, but didn't go crazy for it I find it bewildering that so many people think it was superior to Sam's Town. Read more
