Pretty Good Album.......2005-11-28

Regardless of whether or not you like the Killers, this CD is pretty good. I love classical music, and this CD is not a disappointment.

The songs are a little shorter than the originals, but still manage to be pretty good. It's amazing what they've done with just a few classic instruments and no synthesizer. The mood of the songs are a little different from the album, it's not so much "night" music, as it is... classic. You can picture yourself eating in a brightly lit, fancy French cafe with this music in the background, rather than being at a club or on the streets at night.

The only problem is that the music lacks a certain amount of energy, which was present on the original album.

I would still reccomend this CD to anyone who likes classical music and the Killers.

This is Great!.......2005-06-14

If you like The Killers this Cd rocks! I love the Hot Fuss Cd and this one is just as good. I highly recommend this Cd for all Killer fans!

The Killers have a tribute album...already?.......2005-04-26

Okay, "Hot Fuss" came out about 10 months ago and now The Killers are one of the most popular bands of the 'indie' genre. Is it too soon for The String Quartet to turn songs like "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me" into Muzak pieces? The answer is yes but...they did a pretty good job of it. I am not recommending this cd unless you love The Killers AND you don't mind listening to the songs turned around 180 degrees into 'chamber music'. Try to preview it first.

Customer Reviews:

the B-sides for diehard fans.......2005-06-24

YES it is worth picking up. The Ballad of Michael Valentine is a downtempo rocker with clunky beats, but Under the Gun is more of the dance oriented alternative rock like their hit singles.

I hear potential with this band . . ........2005-05-13

I think they could really turn into something as they continue to develop their own sound. When they try to make a "hit," they end up sounding too much like all the other semi-whiny wanna-be New Wavers out there that are fashionable at the moment. But when they explore their obvious musical talent and take chances like they do on this EP's "The Ballad of Michael Valentine," they really shine. They've already gotten a lot of attention with HOT FUSS, and, if they play their cards right, I think they could be even better.

Girls who are boys who like girls to be boys..........2004-08-31

Huh? The Killers STM sounds similar to Blurs Boys & Girls but much harder, faster, and just plain better. I loved this song the first time I'd heard it, it's catchy, it rocks, and after a few drinks you can dance to it as well.

Sorry.......2004-06-26

I'm sorry, but I can't stand this song. And what the hell is techno/disco/punk? I think we're getting a little too out of hand with classifying music. I just don't see what's so special about this song, the vocals are annoying, I'm not digging the disco-feel to it. Personally, I think it's trash.

These guys are goin' places!.......2004-05-15

"Somebody Told Me" is the kind of single that only comes along every few years. In my opinion, they've got Franz Ferdinand beat, in part because they aim higher. These are big songs with sweeping choruses and enough musical sparkle to take them to the bigtime in a hurry. The other tracks don't quite live up to STM, but, that's OK. "Mr. Brightside" (the UK single) is also a winner. Can't wait for "Hot Fuss" (the debut album!)

Somebody Told Me You Like This..........2005-04-21

This version of the single "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers is okay, not great. The title track is the same as the album mix, and definitely NOT the techno remix version heard on the radio so much these days. Given that, this single could be a great intro to the band if you're unfamiliar with them. The B-sides, "...Valentine" and "Under The Gun" are both good representations of The Killers sound, but nothing special. If you're a Killers junkie and have to have all their tracks or are new to the band and want to check them out, buy it. Otherwise, I'd just stick to the album.

The best The Killers have to offer.........2005-01-06

On this single is 'Somebody Told Me', wich I'm not going to review because I already did on the actual album. No the real shining lights are the 2 B-sides. First 'Under The Gun, wich is my favourite Killers-song ever, is really catchy, up-tempo and fun. No impressive lyrics but that's ok. Then 'A Ballad Of Micheal Vallentine' wich is again a great song. These 2 songs are better then most of the stuff on the real album (Yup, better then Somebody Told Me). It's a shame if you haven't heard The Killer's true masterpiece. Buy or download it if you must, it's neccesairy..
