- The Killers x3

When the Killers released

in the middle of 2008, just four years after their first album

there were many that felt it was just 'too soon,' for them to release a b-sides collection. After all, how much b-side material can you really have in a stretch covering just two albums? It's likely that many will say the same thing about this repackaging of their first two studio albums and the b-side collection. Is it really fitting to be producing a collection or '3 pack' when the band is so new? I'll leave that to others to argue about.

The Killers are quite simply one of the best bands to come in the last 10 years or so, with a fresh, intelligent, and fun variety of synth-pop, alternative rock, and genre bending tunes that I (and many others) have come to love. If you don't own any of their albums but like them, this collection seems like a no-brainer. If you're a serious music fan, it's likely you already own at least one Killers album, and that makes this a much tougher purchase to pull the trigger on. It would be nice (and profitable for the producers) if this collection came with a few new tracks, or live recordings not found elsewhere to entice the dedicated fan to make the purchase.

Realistically, this release is more about marketing than providing real value to a hardcore Killers fan. This collection's release date was intentionally tied to the release of their newest album "Day & Age." For any new fans who are introduced to The Killers through Day and Age, this is a 'catch-up' collection. This works out pretty well for the fans, as Sam's Town, Hot Fuss, and even Sawdust are superior albums to their newest release.

If you know of the Killers, like them, but don't own any of their albums, take the plunge and do more than just 'dip your feet in.' You won't be disappointed.

- Great Killers collection!

I was introduced to Killers after buying the "Day & Age" album on sale at Amazon mp3 downloads. Before that I have listened to them to some of their hits on the radio. I was pretty impressed with the quality of songs in the Day & Age album. But what did it for me is seeing them live at Seattle's "Deck the hall ball" holiday concert. They incredibly energetic and they do know how to put on a great live show. I bought this after the concert and was very happy with my purchase. All three albums are packed with great hits. I would highly recommend this to any music fan!

- Easy Kill

Basically just a compilation of all albums sans Day and Age. Still great Killers music:

lyrically beautiful when it reaches their zenith and musically artistic.

- The Killers 3-Pack

The Killers 3-Pack is a great way get a start building a library of a new wave of music. I've been lost in music purgatory listening to old but good music. Not the "Oldie but Goodies" 50s and 60s or the soft ballads and love songs from 70s and 80s. Heaven forbid that a Barry Manilow or Kenny G get stuck in my head. But music that was played through the late 70's through the 90's that made your pulse beat faster. I know it's dating me but, hell, I'm turning 50 and this doesn't mean that my musical tastes need to be dead. I need musical stimulation to keep alive. I've found it in the new alternative music and learning to embrace the new generation that doesn't need to include rap or hip-hop riffs to get airplay or albums sold. I'm on the road to making a great investment for my musical soul which still beats with rock-n-roll.

- Great collection

This collection of CDs is great. Good value for the number of CDs you receive. Good sounds, new wavish, reminds me of the 80's. If you listen to the lyrics, they will speak to you.
