Xx Brief review on Sam's Town + Quick Update 09/10/2006 xX Alright... Just a fast update. Got my hands on The Killer's new album,
Sam's Town, today. Shall give it a really quick review.
The Killer's style of music have evolved slightly towards being more vintage sounding, instead of the catchy upbeat styles heard on
Hot Fuss, released 2 years ago. Being targetted at the mainstream audiences, their music is easy on the ears. Pretty catchy and straightforward lyrics. With the exception of live sessions, Brandon Flowers' singing is clearly still as smooth as it was in the last album. The inclusion of the piano is one of the most obvious experimentation in this album. Synth sounds are a major part of The Killer's music, and this album has no lack of it either. Frankly, the new tracks don't motivate me to learn how to play them and they mostly sound pretty much alike. Overall, this album is great for the typical MTV teenager, but hardcore fans of headbanging music should stay away.
I rate
Sam's Town a 3.5 on a scale of 5.
Ok, next. My second brother had his wedding dinner last night at the Hyatt Hotel (he's already 28, so you can save the "Wah, so young get married" comment). It was quite typical, though I'm more involved in the process (and better dressed =D) as compared to 3 years ago when my eldest brother had his. Oh yeah, to my NCHS readers. If you can recall our Secondary 1 chinese teacher, Mdm Lim. Well, she's my Second Sis-in-law's Aunt; my Grandma's 10th floor neighbour; and also My Grandaunt's university senior! What an indescribable coincidence, eh? Anyway, will be posting pictures, provided I get them
la.
School's starting next week. Oh, I dread that (though most of my friends will beg to differ). Will lose a lot of practice time on my guitar. And the thought of IS is really depressing. Well, at least I managed to get 5 of my classmates into the same modules and classes! We'll be doing Exploring Photography and French. =X
Anyway, that's all for now. Till next time, Au revoir!
P.S. If you wanna grab Sam's Town tracks from me, it'll have to depend on my mood. =)
