All These Things That I've Done

The Killers come across as an inspired celebration of all that is great in rock and roll’s glorious past. The vocals on the third single from their deservedly acclaimed Hot Fuss album remind me of the Psychedelic Furs’ ‘Pretty In Pink’ while the guitar motif recalls Big Country’s ‘Fields Of Fire’. But it’s almost impossible to pin down the Las Vegas combo who recently slayed ‘em at Oxygen, and there are slices of glam, punk and 80s bombast in here too. Contains the, em, killer line. “I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier.”
