Low-point in what way? But yes, that song.

The Killers always seems a bit pulled in two directions. They broke with Somebody Told Me but they always seemed to have one foot in the Springsteen grave (lyrics like, "I never really gave up on breaking out of this two-bit town") and the new wave aesthetic that was clearly all over the first album. I think Day & Age responds to the heavy-handed Springsteen influence on Sam's Town. It's admittedly overly electronic but I still like a few tracks.

Did you like "Somebody told me?"
