Great Cover Tune, Cool Video!, February 5, 2005
This review is from: All These Things That I've Done / Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (Audio CD)
I am now officially hooked on The Killers! This song is the best track from their album & I hope it will eventually be released here in the US. I bought it for the bonus track, "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself," hoping it was a cover of a Morrissey song from 1994 & sure enough, it was! Brandon Flowers does an impressive job of recapturing Morrissey's angst while maintaining The Killers style throughout this live radio recording. Excellent!
The Radio Edit is just that- it cuts off the vocal/piano intro at the beginning & fades out early at the end- no other changes or remixing.
The video also makes this single worth owning. Brandon & the guys are walking down a city street, singing the song as they are barraged by fans & friends- kissing, hugging & following the band on their journey to a concert hall. They are even joined by a gospel choir for the "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" bridge. Nothing groundbreaking here, but fun to watch, regardless.
If you're a Killers fan, this cd single is a definite must-have for your collection & worth every penny for the Morrissey cover alone!

When the race is done, is there room for one more son, June 27, 2005
This review is from: All These Things That I've Done / Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (Audio CD)
All these things that I've done is so beautiful, you'll be moved and influenced even if you didn't like either Mr. Brightside or Somebody told me. This is the second song that Brendan Flowers (Lead Vocalist) used the gospel choir in, and it gives it a surreal almost surround sound in the background as he sings. Very unique and quite moving to listen too, its as though the song is being sung reverently by Brendan.
In short love the killers, although I would say it's better if you just buy the entire CD Hot Fuss. At least for those of us that can't afford to buy singles all the time. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed or let down.

All These Things Are Great, August 25, 2005
This review is from: All These Things That I've Done / Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (Audio CD)
Well I would like to start off by complimenting the work art and the iregular cd case. Since you'd think it was a promo-cd not a single but its great! The songs are great. The normal album version and the radio edit which I am not very fond of since it doesn't show the true talent of THE KILLERS and "Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself" which people say is a cover and I don't know who was the original singer but I think THE KILLERS do a great job "remaking or re-singing" this song! and a bonus- it has the video which is great too!
