Because ‘Sam’s Town’ (named after a casino in their seedy home city of Las Vegas) is clearly the same band of Anglo-maniacs who brought metrosexuality mainstream with ‘Hot Fuss’. They’ve just scrubbed off their make-up, beefed up the vocals and found the turbo-charge button on their tune-making machine. If there’s one obvious new noise on this record, it’s actually that of U2’s ramped-up, stadium synth-rock. It’s also an album preoccupied with judgement – both from the back-sniping Las Vegas peers The Killers left spluttering in the Nevada dust on their fast-track to fame and free designer trainers (see opener ‘Sam’s Town’), and The Big Man himself. Jesus, the Devil and a host of angels all pop up along the 12-track ride to wrestle with Brandon’s married, morally upstanding Mormon soul ( It’s hard trying to keep on the right side in this land of free rides – ‘Blin. ).
