The Killers – Spaceman
Island
Having managed to avoid listening to The Killers since their first album, I had forgotten just how appalling they are. 'Spaceman' sees them really scraping the barrel of synth-based mediocrity, sort of like Mr Brightside except without any discernible melody.
Brandon Flowers is running out of ideas for lyrics too, here offering us a derivative tale of abduction and subsequent probing by aliens. I wish someone would abduct him – and violently probe him until he agrees to stop making records.
Sorry, there was an error.
