The Killers, Sawdust

Apart from the aforementioned last tracks, this album seems like a waste of time. The tediosity of the lead singers' ability to constantly hit flat and sharp notes turn what sounds pretty good into an apalling track once the man opens his mouth. Don't get me wrong, his voice suits some of their songs but it seems like they need to get another lead singer and use him only when the key fits his voice. In fact the only reason I have given this album 6 points is that the end is on a par with what they have produced before. In conclusion then, probably only a worthwhile purchase only if you are a fan or have no sense of musical antiquity. Otherwise stick to the tried and tested method of downloading only what you personally find good.

The Killers Sawdust was originally meant to be released only in the US as they do not have single charts. Lucky for us this side of the pond we have been treated to the delight of Sawdust.

This album comprises of many tracks which have mostly been released before but as B side's or as an extra on iTunes, i.e the Joy Division Shadowplay, which was played on the Sam's Town tour and the Killers Abbey Road tracks, Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits and the spine tingling acoustic version of Sam's Town.

Although the album is undoubtedly brilliant there is a few surprises to the 18 track choice which include Ruby don't take your love to town which even after many listens does not seem to suit this album and Indie Rock n Roll which was added for the American Market having been left of Hot Fuss Album as some people were offended by it.

Overall a great buy for any Killer's fan and with plenty of tracks left off this album there is room for another like this perhaps after the next album is released next November.
