Is it just me, or does that song almost sound like the whole thing is done digitally. The only thing I can hear that sounds like a rock band is bass, drums and the singer. WHERE IS THE GUITAR??? There are way too many sound effect things. nervous

I don't think there are too many... I think it fits the song perfectly.

I think the song is more Disco inspired than anything, imo.

I only heard this for the first time a few weeks back along with Mr.Brightside and i think this is great stuff i am definately going to pick up the record.  When i have heard them in rock clubs they always play their stuff on the indie floor so maybe they are Indie/Disco/Rock???

"Somebody Told Me" has a  nice beat and melody, but i CANNOT STAND THE LYRICS!! absolutely terrible, "somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that i had in febuary..." Huh? so bad. On the other hand, i love "Mr. Brightside," great song, and with better lyrics  ok

I was really surprised when it came out and it was all over rock radio around here. It sounds like dance music to me. Not rock n roll.

Sounds very retro to me, I like it a lot. Don't know if I'd call it rock though.

The band is amazing, I saw them live at the Kool Haus in toronto. And met them at edge 102 on Yonge St. If I knew how to upload pictures I would upload mine with the lead singer Brandon Flowers and the drummer.

His favorite song ever is November Rain.

Anyhow a very awesome band live.

I think the song is shit.  I always thought the Killers were supposed to be a rock n roll band until I heard this.  Sounds like Busted gone disco.

They are referred to as synth pop. I am not usually into that kind of music but the album isn't that bad at all.

i don't mind the song... and i don't mind the killers

it's not rock at all though... so it confuses me when they play it on scuzz n kerrang...
sounds more discoy to me... kinda reminds me of that blur song... girls + boys... that's a discoy song from a supposedly rock band

Their album reminds me of a lot of different bands. U2, the Cure, the Smiths, lots of retro influence on it for sure. The album is pretty eclectic IMO.

I absolutely love "Mr Brightside"

this song has been stuck in my head for awhile and i cant stop listening to it

I love this band, they sound very different and their singer is pretty cool.

The Killers grows on you after a few listens. It has a nice retro sound without getting too nostalgic.
