Battle Of The Bands

First off, Con seems to judge Anti-Flag in his own statement: "Their first demo was 17 songs and labeled '17 songs' (very creative, almost as bad as minor threat by minor threat". As you can see, he is being sarcastic when he says that the band is creative. Also, it is not bad to name a work with just your name, artists do it all the time. (i.e. "Jimmy Eat World" by Jimmy Eat World, "Twenty One Pilots" by Twenty One Pilots, "Paramore" by Paramore). It makes no sense to criticize whoever Minor Threat is for doing the same.ALBUMS: 1. Hot Fuss (2004): The Killer's debut album is arguably their most successful to date. It includes a total of fourteen possible tracks, including the two smash hits "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me". Many tracks tell a specific story, like how "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" tells the story of a man who commits a murder and tries to defend himself. This album spent nearly three and a half years on the British album chart, including two weeks at the number one position. And The Killers aren't even a British band. Bono (the lead singer of U2) is a huge fan of the album and he said "Its rare to find a band who not only have the music, but the lyricist too. I hear The Killers and I get off the phone". "Hot Fuss" was nominated for best rock album at the 2005 Grammy's, but lost to Green Day's "American idiot". 2. Sam's Town (2006): Their second studio effort wasn't as successful but spawned hits like "When You Were Young" and "Read My Mind". It is named after a casino in their hometown of Las Vegas. 3. Sawdust (2007): A compilation of b-sides, rarities, covers, remixes, and two new songs, "Sawdust" dropped in November 2007. It doesn't have any solid hits, but two of my personal favorites are "Where The White Boys Dance" and "Daddy's Eyes". 4. Day & Age (2008): Containing thirteen total tracks and released in November 2008, "Day & Age" was practically the commercial sequel to "Hot Fuss". The songs "Human", "Spaceman", and "A Dustland Fairytale" are all hits. "Human" is their most successful single ever made. 5. Battle Born (2012): Being The Killers' comeback after a nearly four-year pause, "Battle Born" achieved moderate success. Tracks like "Runaways" and "Here With Me" boosted it into the charts. 6. Direct Hit s (2013): The Killers decided to release this greatest hits compilation in 2013. It includes hit songs from every album of theirs across their career, and two brand new songs "Just Another Girl" and "Shot At The Night", both of which were successes. LYRICS: I don't mean to criticize Anti-Flag, but they seem a little too involved in politics. People want to hear politics talked about from a politican, not a band. The Killers have a wide range of lyrical things from love ("Here With Me"), murder ("Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine") and comedy ("Where The White Boys Dance"). SIDE PROJECTS: Each of The Killers' members work on side projects, proving that they can work outside of their normal band career.Brandon Flowers (Vocalist) has released two solo albums, "Flamingo" (2010) and "The Desired Effect" (2015).Ronnie Vannucci, Jr. (Drummer) also works in a band he sings for called Big Talk. The band released their debut album in 2011 and have their second one releasing later this year. The reamining two members, Mark Stoermer and Dave Keuning, have worked as members and recording assistants for other bands. Stoermer has even released his own solo album.___________________________________________Sources:http://www.buzzfeed.com...http://en.wikipedia.org...
