    Saw Flowers play three of his new tracks on Jools Holland on Friday. The Killers first two albums were excellent but he is rapidly going down the tubes IMHO on this one- after several years being pressured to come up with the goods for record companies Flowers, like so many before him under this regime, is lyrically bankrupt.

    Seriously, listen to the lyrics, its like something a 6 year old would write and far removed from their early stuff tbh.

    I would completely disagree with that. If anything the lyrics have vastly improved from "Somebody Told Me" , "When You Were Young" to "A Dustland Fairytale" and "Crossfire". The songs may not be as catchy or as big as "Mr Brightside" but each concept behind each song has got stronger and stronger and Brandon finds new was of getting that across to the audience. Read the lyrics to these songs and you will find this.
