One of their best ever, the second best track from Hot Fuss.

Brilliant song!
***
Their only half decent song.
***
Average really. They have better songs.
******
Their Best, love the enormous arrangement of the chorus and the U2-ish guitar riff
*****
awesome track,my 2nd fav Killers song
******
Magnificent would be an understatement.
***
This one is OK. The intro guitar riff is decent but because it gets repeated over and over again it gets annoying. I also don't like the vocals in the 1st verse. The lyrics are very weird and unfortunately its the main thing stopping me from actually liking the song. The chorus and the ending is very enjoyable though. 3 stars.

I don't understand all the love at all. To me it's just a hot bogan mess.

Awesome follow up to Somebody Told Me. My favourite from them after When You Were Young.

Easily up there with my favourite Killers track! Awesome track!

Very cool track. Easily in their top 5 best ever.

Everything about this song is perfect.

I don't have the big love many people do but it is a good listen and very familiar. It's certainly increasing in popularity over the years.

Such a fantastic track. What a shame about it's chart run. I envision this becoming a classic over the next decade.

It's definitely a good song and I even bought the CD single back in 2004 - however, I prefer both the single before this ('Somebody Told Me') and the one after this ('Smile Like You Mean It').<br><br>The song escalated in popularity in the years following its release, it really wasn't *that* popular in 2004-05, but somehow ended up being a favourite for many later in the decade.

Used to like it more but still a very cool track.

Absolutely brilliant!

Ok

Overhyped and overplayed. If not for either I'd give it a 4*
