Sounds like John Cafferty crossed with Mr. Mister.

I really didn't expect you to like this, Rads. No question mark?

Didn't say I didn't like it. Just making an observation.

i would admit that my knowledge of both meatloaf and the killers is small.
but the first thing that came to mind when i heard these corny vocals was meatloaf.

also no offense to stop breathin. glad he likes it. freedom rules

Sounds like fucking Kim Carnes. He could totally slip right into Bette Davis Eyes right in the middle of this.

I'd go with ASIA over Mr. Mister.

There are some "Heat of the Moment" guitars in there.

not my thing but definitely doing a proper job of rehashing those late 80's pop rock sounds, I was thinking more of The Outfield but Mr. Mister and Asia are pretty head on nail

:lol: I knew I was going out on a limb posting that. I do like the song, no hyperbole included. Nice return to bombast by the Killers, imo. Got me looking forward to the new album.

I get what they're trying to do (i guess) but I don't connect with this at all.
