The anticipation is real. I'm thinking this will certainly be one of my favorite albums of the year. "Can't Deny My Love" coming March 23, 2015! My B'day. :) Cautiously optimistic here! I didn't have strong feelings for Flamingo as a whole but I absolutely loved "Crossfire" and "Only The Young."

This doesn't sound like anything on Flamingo, IMO. Not sure if I *love* it yet. Sure is catchy though.

He looks more like Robin Thicke in that foto, but who cares; The Killers have always been one of my fav Rock bands out there. Flamingos= "Crossfire" A+ and "Swallow It" B. Didn't much care for any other song on it.

Love it! Perfect balance of new wave nostalgia and fine modern production.
The breakdown during the bridge is stunning!

Don't enjoy it as much as the previous two Killers' leads, but it's not bad.

Oh yes, I'm digging this. I'm REALLY digging this. Might even like it more than "Crossfire" on first listen.

I definitely like this better than Crossfire. I revisited Flamingo yesterday with my buddy who was in town for my housewarming party. Still a great album but, based on the producer involved this time around, I expect even better, especially based on CDML. That song is perfect.

Love this! It might just be me but it reminds me of All Night Long by Lionel Richie at parts.

I wasn't sure what I'd think of this before listening, but this blows "Crossfire" and "Only The Young" out of the water. Excellent debut single.

Not as instant as "Crossfire", could be a grower.

"Crossfire" blew me away, but this is pretty nice.

I like this. I like every other lead single (The Killers and "Crossfire") better than this though. Goes to show how great this guy is.

This is great. Better than "Crossfire" and the singles off of "Battle Born". This reminded me of the Hot Fuss era quite a bit, so it's definitely got a nostalgia factor built into it. :)
Hopefully he pushes more than one single this time around.

I like it! Not quite as much as "Crossfire", but can't complain.

I keep hoping he's got another Somebody Told Me or Human in him...this isn't at THAT level, but it's it's the best he's done since the Day & Age album

"Crossfire" blew me away, but this is pretty nice. That's how I feel too. "Crossfire" is next level special for me so I wasn't even expecting to like anything near as much as that. But this new one is a different type of song altogether and definitely one I'm interested in hearing a lot of. Its hook has been stuck in my head all day... and the slight calypso accents mixed in with new wave synths is such a fascinating (and effective) combo somehow.

This is every bit as perfect as I was hoping it would be. A 2015 jam for sure. I definitely like it better than "Playing With Fire", and it's on par with "Only The Young", my two favorites off Flamingo.
Stoked for the video if the previous clips are anything to go by.
