another amazing album by the killers!!!
this album is really amazing!!! coming from a small suburb i can relate to sam's town and when u were young, well any girl can relate to that :) i dont find any issues w/ this album. yes the song bones does have some sexual references, but its really about stuff that us as teen w/ our raging hormones deal w/! uncle johnny does talk about drugs, but its saying how drugs affect ppl in bad ways and how it affects the ppl around u. i seriously luv this album, its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second album...
I haven't had a chance to listen to this full CD yet but it looks to be tamer than their first album. When You were Young is definitely a great song; I've listened to that. Oddly enough, this seems to have rather more indecent cover art than the first album, but not the same problems with sex....

very good but not as amazing as hot fuss.....
there are some very catchy songs on this album that you will love. hot fuss was a 5 star album with more "dancier" tracks. the songs on this album are more "rockier" tracks.

Not for Kids!
This is a cd not for kids. Its great if you are over 18. It has a general "party" message for people. The group does have good guitar hooks and whatnot, but I can't recommend it for kids of any age.
