The chorus is awful - it sounds so thin and reedy, the OC version of danceable or something - but I really like the verses (excellent adolescent emo tripe) and the overall production isn't quite as edgeless and annoying as the first single.

One music industry source who's had sneak preview of the cover told NME.COM: "It's a fairly faithful cover, but McFly's version strips out the synths, adds some rather weedy vocal harmonies and is more pop punk-lite than The Killers' stomping 80s-tinged arrangement."
They added: "Killers fans will probably cringe, and it won't fill indie disco dancefloors as efficiently as the original."
'I Wanna Hold You' hits the shops on October 17.

I GOT SOUL, BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER!
(wrong song)

i wish the killers didn't make a second album.

I think it will probably be remembered as one of the better mainstream songs of this era.

I like "When We Were Young." It almost made it onto my top 10 list last year.
― Tape Store, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 03:37 (sixteen years ago) link
when you* were young
"I got soul but I'm not a soldier" made me cringe so hard that I nearly crashed my car when I first heard it
― Curt1s Stephens, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 03:53 (sixteen years ago) link
absolutely fuckin shit song. and i don't normally get that animated about sonfs i don't like

STILL AWESOME
― Tape Store, Saturday, 19 January 2008 07:14 (sixteen years ago) link
this vs. "All My Friends"
― Tape Store, Saturday, 19 January 2008 07:15 (sixteen years ago) link
as i was reading this thread i was thinking "what happened to tape store?" and apparently the answer is "only posts to mr brightside thread"
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 19 January 2008 08:00 (sixteen years ago) link
both songs you mention are awesome tho i don't get the connection besides both being good
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 19 January 2008 08:01 (sixteen years ago) link
"all my friends" is so boring. do not get the hype/hoopla at all.
"mr brighside" isn't as good as "read my mind," "when you were young," or "somebody told me"
― The Brainwasher, Saturday, 19 January 2008 08:04 (sixteen years ago) link
ppl kept writing about "read my mind" as sam's town's brightside and when i heard it i was pretty underwhelmed. it doesn't have nearly the chorus of their other songs you mentioned
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 19 January 2008 08:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Conversation I had..
Friend, singing: I got SOUL, but I'm not a SOLDIER
Me: You know what's funny? That's the only part of that song I remember AT ALL
Friend: haha, me too
Me: And it had a video where they dressed as cowboys and threw boomerangs at hotties
Friend: You have summarized that video well

I rather like their cover of "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town"

Wow, this record is 2 years old already :(
It's still awful.
