What do you think of this album? Was Mr. Brightside too popular for its own good?

The album's a classic.
In fact, the first 3 are all fantastic.
Wyatt Taylor
Seriously though as a bong you can go out to a bar for a night without hearing Mr Brightside at least one time. It was released 15 years ago ffs music from that period is very unmemorable.
Jordan Reyes
tracks one through five are incredibly strong
fades off a bit after that
Ayden White
not many of those bands from around that time in the "indeh" circut have stuck around and had sustained success
always thought it was a shame hot hot heat peaked with "make up the breakdown" and that album never really got the credit it deserved
Connor Parker
Please stand for the national anthem of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Ugh I'm getting memories of sticky floors and WKD blues.
Christian Bell
Actually a good album
Unironically a 6/10 and Mr. Brightside is Wonderwall if our time
Aiden Gonzalez
'Andy, You're a Star' is 10/10 what are you talking about.

James Edwards
Mr. Brightside isn't even their best song to be honest
Aaron Perry
I thought this was a sweet song about a guy moving away from a girl until I found out that it's written about some AIDS riddled whore and "this is your last chance to dance to disco" is meant 100% literally.
Angel Edwards
Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine is peak post-punk revival.

I love this album. Probably more out of nostalgia than anything else, I remember hearing a lot of these songs on the radio when I was a kid. Still though, great album I would argue that it's superior to Sam's Town (which the consensus seems to be that Sam's Town is the best Killers album to my knowledge). I love this album, Midnight Show is easily one of my favorite songs of the 2000s.
Carson Perry
What does it mean for a song to be too popular for its own good?
Christian Watson
After the singles and Andy You're a Star, the album goes off a fucking cliff. Mr. Brightside makes them so much money they can really do whatever they want so I don't have an issue with it being ungodly popular. Going to a Killers concert and hearing the entire crowd singing it along with Flowers is a kino experience.
Sams Town is a fantastic album, much better than Hot Fuss even if the singles aren't as good

like overplayed to the point where it gets annoying. I personally disagree with Mr. Brightside though I love that song to this day. If I were to name an actually overplayed track I would have to go with like Despacito or something. On its own its like a 4, maybe 5/10 but the fact that I had to listen to it all fucking summer last year makes it a 2/10 for me.
Ryan Rodriguez
why do bongs live mr. brightside so much?
it’s been on the charts there continuously for 15 years
Samuel Lewis
Main one from that era I can think of who still regularly break the Top 10 or 20 is Maxïmo Park, they've matured like a fine wine into a British equivalent to R.E.M. with the folksy and soft electronic influences while still pumping out new-wave/post-punk rockers as good as their debut stuff from time to time.

A great album, a 9/10. Their second best. Also Mr. Brightside is a great song and I think it deserves the praise it gets.
