by: Carlos FigueroaThe Killers are an alternative rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2002. The band consists of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion). They have released 3 studio albums: Hot Fuss (2004), Sam's Town (2006), and Day & Age (2008).
The Killers is one of my favorite bands, maybe because of the quality of their songs, or the overall stage captivation Brandon gives me, but, without discussion, The Killers are one of the greatest bands out there at the moment.
Now, let me be clear, I'll focus on the MOST ESSENTIAL out of The Killers (if not I will probably fill the whole blog with a single post). So, let's begin with the beginning, Hot Fuss, the band's first album, contains my favorite song from The Killers; it is probably most people's favorite. I'm obviously talking about "Mr. Brightside". The song is unmistakable and is probably the most iconic song for this band; with its superb keyboard riff and its amazing vocoder vocals throughout most of the song, the song is perfection.
This doesn't mean that it is the only good song in the album, on the contrary, the album is packed with amazing songs, like "Smile like you mean it", "Somebody Told Me", "All These Things that I've Done", and "Jenny was a Friend of Mine".
Now, the second album, Sam's Town, I must say is a good album, but I personally don't find as great as the first and last albums. Now, don't take me wrong when I say it is not as great, that simply means the other 2 albums are a 10 each and these one is a 9... Now, my favorite song from this album is "When You Where Young", which I find extremely appealing (mainly because of the guitar riffs and the vocals). Other songs from the album that deserve to be spotlighted are "Read my Mind", "Bones", and "For Reasons Unknown".
Last, and definitively not least, my favorite of the band's albums, Day & Age. Now, I will focus on the best songs in this album: "Human", "Spaceman", "A Dustland Fairytale", and "The World That We Live In". To start of, "Human", is one of the most solid performances from the band, as it is the whole package (rhythm, guitar riffs, and vocals/lyrics). "Spaceman", I personally believe excels vocally, but lacks a little bit in the other departments. "A Dustland Fairytale" is, for me, a perfect ballad, being expressive and emotional, yet not compromising musical performance for on-stage performance. "The World That We Live In" is one of the albums most strong songs, being very unique, with its vocoder vocals (which are reminiscent of "Mr. Brightside"), marked beats, and beautiful guitar riffs.
The Killers will always be an awesome band and will always provide us with amazing music, because of their amazing career and songs, The Killers are an essential.
