Finally someone actually part reviewed the album, a thing that even the OP didn't bother doing.

I've only listened to it once, it didn't grab me but neither did any of their stuff except over time. The Killers are always hit and miss with me, I prefer Sam's Town over Hit Fuss (the singles on Hot Fuss started to bore me and the other tracks weren't any decent compliment).

Too early for me to decide on this one but I'll probably rate it below their first two.

I just like making threads...

Anyhoo, I've only listened to it twice. On the first listen I thought it was shockingly bad. His vocals seemed like the latter phase of Morrison's career (drunk and out of tune), none of the songs had even remotely come close to the catchiness of the Hot fuss singles, and they still haven't shaken the Springteen influence, which is what made Sam's town so awful.

I didn't want to post anything because I've been known to change my opinion after several listens (see Skeletal lamping). Spaceman is looking good, even if the singing is pretty bad. Maybe I can build on that...:|

Anybody know when this actually releases? Wikipedia and other sites say it's been moved up to 11-24 (tomorrow) but iTunes lists the expected release as 11-25...

EDIT: Nevermind, an email just came that said my preorder was ready to download.
