Fifty-word review

Sawdust (B-sides and Remnants)

The Killers, a drop-dead singles band, put more energy, or at least glee, into their B-sides than most – with such high peaks, they are less fussy about anything except the gargantuan songs. It is no surprise then that the best thing on the whole bang shoot is the murkiness of “Tranquilize” (aka The New Track featuring Lou Reed), which suggests that an album might be squeezed from a Killers stint as Lou’s avatar. Flowers has a similar eerie sonority as Antony Hegarty, the previous incumbent and, like Antony, can’t match the specific gravity of Reed’s wizened croak.
